About Us

Who We Are

Executive Leadership Australia is a Canberra-based specialist provider of leadership development services. We have a proven track record of implementing leadership programs that are highly effective at supporting organisational transformation in large and complex organisations in both the public and private sectors.

We focus on developing the leadership capability required to function effectively under conditions of increasing complexity, uncertainty and change.

We specialise in providing issues-based executive learning group programs and related leadership development services. Our expertise and depth of experience in this domain is unique within the Australian context.

What Makes Us Unique?

In-Depth Understanding

We have an in-depth understanding of the Australian Public Services and its commitment to developing leadership capability within a fiscally constrained economic environment.

We recognise the importance of cultivating values-based leadership, especially at the most senior levels in Government. Our values based approach to leadership is consistent with the APS Values and Code of Conduct.

Extensive Experience

Our team of Principals and Associates have extensive experience at the most senior levels in business and government, both locally and internationally.

Our wealth of senior leadership experience uniquely positions us to provide vital support to leaders during organisational change and renewal.

Distinctive Capability

By combining the depth of leadership experience of our Mentors, the specialist facilitation skills of our Facilitators, and the robustness of our proprietary approach, we have been able to consistently deliver highly effective executive learning group programs for close on two decades.

“The facilitation was superb. Thank you. We were kept on track at all times (when it was easy to get side tracked and bogged down in details). I felt comfortable to be open and honest and felt I was in a safe environment. I don’t believe I would have felt that way if the facilitator had not been there.”

“I would say that facilitator is highly skilled in managing the group dynamic and was able to steer a diverse group through a complex maze. It is said that getting lawyers to work cohesively was like herding cats. Our facilitator is a very good cat herder.”

Our Team

Executive Leadership Australia’s unique strength is the quality of its people. Our team of highly experienced individuals is totally committed to developing leadership capability based on the research-validated principles of mutual learning, psychological safety, trust and respect.

We see our role as facilitating the emergence of wisdom within our clients. We are specialists in developing leadership capability by:

Creating supportive but challenging learning environments that enable leaders to address their specific leadership challenges.
Facilitating open, honest dialogue in an atmosphere of mutual learning and confidentiality.
Leveraging learning off real-world issues that leaders table for discussion.

Each and every member of our team has been selected based on their depth of experience, skills and commitment to the principles of mutual learning, integrity, trust and mutual respect.
