Training That Makes a Difference
Strengthen your leadership and develop your team by attending a LEAD training event.
Our training events are filled with tools, tips, approaches and frameworks, but they’re not simplistic. Training content is informed by research and evaluation, and underpinned by principles of community-led development. We take the best of what’s happening in the global, Pacific and New Zealand third sectors, and distill it for your benefit.
The LEAD trainers have a collective experience of over a century of working and leading in not for profit organisations, so we draw on this to help shape what we share with you.
Whether you’re after a quick ‘top up’ with a Training ‘Bite’, a full day participatory workshop, a programme which develops your leadership capability over time, or a Masterclass to put the edge on your practice, we have a training event which will be transformative, giving you the ongoing skills, knowledge and confidence to lead and create change.
We have a number of online trainings as well as some
in person events in locations around the country.
We also deliver bespoke trainings for your organisation -
drawing in the values, culture and complexities that are unique to you, your team and your community.

“This course has been inspirational in terms of focusing me on what kind of leader I want to be; to do more things deliberately, and under high pressure; taking time to reflect and to focus. Lots of the frameworks help with this, as well as being more proactive in reflective practice. It makes me feel like it is possible to be more intentional about how I lead and work.”
“Hilary left such a positive mark on us all and there was not one person who felt threatened, chastised or inadequate (which can so easily happen with such a topic) following her workshop - that counts for a lot. ”
“The marketing workshop gave me a great framework to be able to go away and implement my ideas.”
