For founders growing a team, this immersive leadership programme helps you shift from solo to supported—growing your capability, confidence and culture alongside your business.
You’ve built a successful, growing business. Now it’s time to build leadership.
Your first hires. Your first freelancers. Your first team members. Maybe even your first office space too!
How you lead now will shape the culture, performance and future of your business. Because once you start building a team—everything changes.
The Culturevating Leader is an immersive, in-person programme for founders and small business leaders who want to lead with purpose, humanity and impact.
Whether you're managing remote collaborators, client teams or starting to hire, this programme gives you the leadership mindset, skills and emotional intelligence to bring people with you—and build something that lasts.
You don’t need to have a team yet—but if you want to lead with intention and create a culture that lasts, this is for you.
Founders and small business owners starting to grow their team.
Business leaders managing associates, freelancers or remote collaborators.
Project-based leaders looking to influence and inspire without formal authority.
This programme isn’t just about leadership theory—it’s about helping you solve the real challenges that come with growing a business and a team.
You’ll walk away with the skills, mindset and tools to:
Learn how to bring people into your business who share your values, so you reduce turnover and build lasting loyalty.
Create clarity, set expectations, and handle challenges with confidence—so you’re not the one holding everything together all the time.
Build trust, alignment and collaboration across your team, so you can step back without things falling apart.
From tricky conversations to performance and wellbeing, you’ll gain practical tools that make the messy bits of leadership feel manageable.
Whether you’re briefing a team member, pitching to a client or running a team meeting—you’ll learn how to lead with influence.
Instead of culture being something that happens by accident, you’ll shape it intentionally—with empathy, emotional intelligence and everyday actions.
Through a series of immersive, in-person learning days, you’ll build your leadership toolkit across three key areas:
Emotional Leadership & Change: Using the Emotional Culture Deck, you’ll explore how emotions drive culture—and how to lead yourself and others through growth and change with empathy and impact.
Human Communication Skills: Learn to coach, communicate and present in a way that connects:
Optional Focus Areas: Choose what’s relevant to your business model:
