Leadership Training

Leadership Training Melbourne

Our leadership training is based on our view that leadership is the ability to mobilise others to achieve important outcomes. When training leaders, we believe that leadership is an activity, not a formal authority role, meaning that anyone can exercise leadership anywhere, anytime.

When training leaders, we use a blend of content delivered by our facilitators, guest speaker sessions and the opportunity to connect more deeply with other participants in break out rooms. This gives you the chance to experiment with different leadership training strategies and skills.

Leaders training at Leadership Victoria is relevant for all workplaces, so each group includes participants from diverse experiences and industries in Melbourne. This means you’ll walk away with a relevant and enduring network to lean on as you progress through your leadership journey.

We know from more than 30 years of training leaders, everyone is different, so we offer a range of training from 3-day experiences to 10-month intensives, to fit within your individual context and goals for leadership development.

So, if are looking to lead with clarity and confidence, please check out our leadership training options below.
