Executive Training & Workshops
When Leaders Are Expected to Deliver Change — Intelligence Isn’t Enough
Organizations increasingly invest in analytical frameworks & technical skills.
But the real bottleneck often shows up in how people behave under pressure — how they make decisions, collaborate across boundaries, manage conflict & sustain focus in uncertainty.
Executive programs should not only add knowledge — they must change behavior & strengthen human capability.
“Over the course of four days, I felt everything—overwhelmed, exposed, nervous, tired, transformed, but most of all, grateful.
I learned how powerful vulnerability can be, how creating a safe space for people to show up as themselves makes all the difference, and how syncing up with others can create real magic.
From crazy icebreakers that had us crying from laughter, to viking sauna experiences, cat therapy sessions, deep talks, collaboration, and breaking down personal boundaries—you made it truly unforgettable.”

Transformational Leadership & Innovation Programs That Unlock Human Potential
Through Pracademy, my executive-training firm, I help people develop deep self awareness, act courageously & move together — when change gets hard.
Some organizations come to my programs after exploring Energizer Mastery, which outlines the thinking behind my facilitation approach.
In trainings, we move from understanding to practice — applying these principles to real teams, real challenges & real decisions.
The Human Capabilities That Drive Results
Programs are designed to develop leadership & team capacities that matter most in complex, fast-moving environments:
Attention & Presence — clear focus amidst noise
Trust & Psychological Safety — collaboration that lasts
Courage & Impactful Experimentation — decisive action in uncertainty
Values-Aligned Leadership — consistency under stress
These capacities are not soft skills in isolation — they directly influence decision speed, alignment across teams & the ability to navigate complexity.

“Our program with you has helped me heaps. I feel so much more self-aware and relaxed. I’m noticing so many more things in my surroundings that I had never paid attention to before! I’m a lot calmer about not planning every single element of my life and really feel I (and those around me!) have benefitted so much from that.”

Designed for Real Leadership Challenges — Not Abstract Theory
Each program combines experiential learning, reflection & real practice — so leaders don’t just hear insights; they live them.
In sessions, we work with:
Real organizational dilemmas, not hypothetical cases
Embodied reflection, not just discussion
Paired and group practice, not lectures
Transfer to everyday work, not retreat-only experiences
This makes learning sticky & behavior change sustainable.
What Changes — & What Makes This Work Different
This work focuses on behavior, not theory.
Most leadership and innovation training stays cognitive.
People understand the ideas — but behavior rarely changes under pressure.
Here, it does.
What typically changes:
Leaders gain clarity about what drives them and how they lead
Teams become more trusting and effective under pressure
Organizations see stronger engagement and more sustainable performance
Why it works:
Leaders practice attention, trust, and courage — not just discuss them
Learning is grounded in real organizational challenges, not abstract cases
The focus is on building human capacity that translates directly into action
The result:
Insight that sticks, behavior that shifts, and leadership that holds up in uncertainty.
