In Stride: leading when you’re not in charge
Leadership is something we typically associate with C.E.O’s or General Managers but in reality it happens at every level of your organisation, every day. In Stride is a Leadership Development Programme that allows you to really capitalise on your ‘informal’ leadership talent and promote a leadership mentality at all levels.
Overview
In Stride is a two day Leadership Development Programme that demonstrates to participants how they can use their personal - as opposed to their positional - power to be as influential as possible in your organisation. It’s ideal for organisations searching for a Leadership Development experience that they can expose absolutely anyone in their organisation to, no matter their position.
Here are just some of the benefits the In Stride workshop brings to your organisation:
- Deepens your pool of leadership talent
- Rekindles peoples passion for overall organisational goals, not just their own
- Promotes collaboration across teams, department and the entire organisation
Your individual participants will get:
- Deep insights about themselves, their needs, talents and vulnerabilities
- A chance to fully realise the impact they can have within the organisation
- Specific influencing and negation skills that they can utilise for personal success
How does it work?
Great leadership starts with self awareness. When people are aware of how to effectively lead themselves they are in a much better position to influence others and build rewarding partnerships with their colleagues. In Stride is all about giving your participants this self awareness and showing them how to harness it for maximum influence.
The programme combines workshop style learning with a unique profiling tool called the Instinctive Drives™ or I.D.™. This tool gives participants a unique and proven system for understanding their own leadership style and comparing it to those of others. The I.D.™ shows participants:
- What they need to be able to act, be fulfilled and make decisions.
- What their natural and inbuilt talents are.
- Where their vulnerabilities lie and how to manage these.
These insights show your participants exactly what they need to be at their best and how their ‘way’ affects those around them. In a safe and supportive workshop environment they’ll have the opportunity to contrast and compare their style with people from all over your organisation.
Combine this with sessions on ‘leading others’, influencing, negotiations and they return to the workplace with an eagerness, confidence and skills to make a real impact.
How is it different?
You may have already had your people undertake profiling and Leadership Development Programmes before and you are probably wondering how this workshop is any different.
Not a radical change
Firstly, In Stride does not require any radical behavioural change but instead relies on identifying what comes naturally and 'leveraging' your leaders' natural strengths and talents.
Most programmes try to pinpoint specific behavioural problems and attempt to change them. This change is often temporary.
Anyone can attend
In Stride is designed for anyone in your organisation. The premise is that great organisations have leaders at ALL levels. The ideas and strategies presented in this Leadership Development Programme are just as relevant to your C.E.O as they are to your front line staff.
Personal development
What your participants will learn through In Stride and the I.D.™ is not just applicable to the workplace either. This experience has just as much relevance to your participants’ personal lives and relationships. Your participants will really appreciate the investment in them as people.

What Others Say
Wow! What a fantastic way to spend two days
I’ve been to similar workshops in the past and walked away kind of empty, but you both delivered your sessions with real enthusiasm and you left me feeling inspired. When I reflect upon this, I think that the real difference is your passion, professionalism, your depth of knowledge and the lengths you will go to in order to get the message across. I’m not alone either. Everyone I’ve seen or spoken to today who attended the course has made similar comments.
