Developing Influential Leaders
Inventive, Energising Training Programs for Senior Leaders
.
What’s possible?
We believe it is possible to learn how to be an inspiring and influential leader. Our job is to unlock that greatness.
We are proud to have helped companies across the Asia-Pacific region equip and energise thousands of leaders with the self awareness, tools and skills to become People of Influence.
What’s at stake?
Good leadership is THE engine of business growth. Culture may eat strategy for breakfast, but culture and strategy both begin with your leadership.
The link between good leadership and organisational performance is indisputable. For instance, 70% of employee engagement is determined by one’s immediate manager (Gallup). Good leaders attract the best people, retain the best people and get the best out of your best people.
The Elevations of Influence™ model summarises the capabilities we help leaders and their teams develop in our programs.

EXCLUSIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Clients get access to our proprietary assessment tools. For over a decade Michelle Rushton and Shaun Kenny have leveraged their unparalleled access to executives and unique educational backgrounds to develop these powerful tools. Thousands of leaders across the world have benefited from the personalised insights these tools generate.
THE SMILING OX PARADOX®
The Science of Magnetic Leadership
This tool is part of The Smiling Ox Paradox® program which helps leaders understand the science of how to become one of those rare people others feel compelled to follow.
We developed this tool for two years and launched it over a decade ago. We have continued to refine it over the years. Many thousands of executives and senior leaders have used this tool in our programs.
There are two versions:
- The Self-Assessment
- The 360°.
THE EXTRAORDINARY TEAMS DIAGNOSTIC
Diagnose > Prescribe > Measure Progress
The Extraordinary Teams Diagnostic is like a 360º on the team itself by every member of the team (including the leader).
We developed this tool to remove the guess work out of diagnosing and prescribing team interventions and for measuring progress.
We use this tool to great effect with executive teams, leadership teams and functional teams across a wide variety of industries.
Every team completes the diagnostic at least twice:
- Day 1: Diagnose current state > Create plan > Make improvements.
- Day 90: Measure progress > Create new plan > Make further improvements.
THE LEADERSHIP CONVERSATIONS VISIBILITY TOOL
LEADERSHIP…ONE CONVERSATION AT A TIME
We believe that for managers to engage their people and get the best out of their people, this is done one conversation at a time.
The Leadership Conversations Visibility Tool tracks the quantity and quality of these conversations between people managers and their direct reports.
We developed this tool to give organisations visibility of the ongoing behaviours of people managers across the organisation and for individual people managers to gain visibility of the impact of their own management behaviours and practices.
According to Gallup, 70% of a person’s engagement at work is determined by their immediate manager. This tool is designed to empower leaders to shift that 70%.
This tool has:
- A 180° component (feedback from direct reports)
- A Self-Assessment component (as a comparison point).

LONGER-FORM PROGRAMS
We love partnering with clients on longer-form leadership programs
We’ve done this work with a diverse range of clients over the years including GPT Group, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Workwear Group (Wesfarmers), ServiceStream, Sutherland Shire Council and KPMG partners.
Sometimes it is totally custom built. Often we leverage the programs we’ve refined over the years such as the Executive Influence Program and the Leading Teams Program.
