Coaching for candidates

Deciding whether to put your hand up to represent your community is a big decision. 
We can help you make the right decision with our targeted coaching service for candidates.

In our curated coaching process, you will complete a series of self-reflection exercises to check your capability and knowledge against the formal requirements of being a councillor in New South Wales. Through a one to one coaching session, we will help you identify your areas of strength and growth.
 
We will also check in on what is driving you to represent your local community and guide you through a process to align your inner fire with the formal expectations of being in civic office.

Training for politicians with a difference

We are changing the game in training and support for our elected leaders. Humans first is our motto. Support for the whole leader is our ethos.
From ethics, governance, mindset, wellbeing and technical know-how about the local government system, we teach the big and little skills needed to effectively lead and govern as a local councillor. And most importantly, to be impactful leader for the community you serve.

Latest insights 

We regularly write articles and host webinars about the leadership skills, practical tools and technical knowledge local councillors need to successfully lead their communities. Take a read of some our latest insights.
