Firefighting doesn't have to be your culture.
It's proof of reactive behaviour.
Our guided group self‑study programme gives your managers tools to face challenges, move beyond fear, act with courage, and focus on what matters.
Without draining budget or HR time.
- Cost-effective & flexible
- Scalable. Builds culture of courage.
- Self-paced learning.
You know your leaders have more to give.
But making that happen is harder than it should be.
- Internal efforts lose momentum when you’re stretched too thin — and busy doing your managers’ job.
- Online courses feel too light. Traditional training is too heavy — for both costs and HR.
- You know what would help — but without a clear case, you can’t get buy-in.
As pressure to “fix things” grows, you could still be left without the tools, budget, or influence to create real change. And all the while, top talent walks away — or never joins.
What you need is something different: A trusted, structured programme that builds courage and focus in your leaders - and gives you a simple, scalable way to deliver real change.
That’s exactly what our Group Self-Study Programme has been designed to do.
Built on the Courageous Leader™ book and process trusted by leaders in 50+ countries.
A structured journey that creates real change. Without draining budget or your HR team.
The Group Self-Study: Courageous Leader™ Process is a ready-to-use proven programme that helps your leaders move beyond fear, take ownership, and act with courage - while you stay in control of time, budget, and delivery.
Just like any meaningful shift, it starts small — and unfolds one step at a time.
Designed for mixed cohorts and fixed teams, it blends short video modules, reflection, assignments, practice and guided group discussion, giving your leaders space to stop, reflect, choose and act on real challenges they’re facing in the workplace right now.
You don't need to build anything.
The full programme - from video
modules to reflection questions and group session guides - is ready to go. You
can launch it with minimal setup and zero content development.
Progress is built in. You choose the support.
The format equips leaders to shift how they show up.
You can add coaching, follow-up or accountability groups to deepen learning and support lasting results even further.
You don't need to be an expert to roll it out.
The programme is structured for
internal delivery by HR, team leads or nominated facilitators - no external
trainers or deep subject knowledge is required.
It’s a complete, step-by-step format that supports deep change and shared accountability - built around your reality.
Leaders across 50+ countries trust our tools to face what’s challenging, move beyond fear, act with courage – and focus on what’s truly important.
These tools will work for your leaders too.
A proven process — built on decades of global experience.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve supported hundreds of leaders in 50+ countries —helping them build clarity, courage, and long-term impact.
Our goal has always been the same: calm, capable people who act wisely — for their teams, their organisations, and everyone affected.
But live training isn’t always possible. That’s why we created the Group Self-Study: a cost-effective, structured, repeatable format that keeps what drives real change — and makes it accessible to more people.
It helps participants face what’s challenging, move beyond fear, and act on what truly matters — in the real world, when it counts.
Designed for real-world challenges.
Each module builds on the Courageous Leader™ Process - helping participants face
what’s difficult, move beyond fear, and take meaningful action in the situations they’re actually dealing with - addressing root causes, not just surface
behaviours
Built for shared reflection – with options to deepen the experience.
Group discussions create space for insight and honest reflection that’s hard to access alone. You can also add coaching, follow-up or accountability groups to deepen learning and support lasting results even further.
Focused on building confidence and ownership.
Each participant creates a personalised Courageous Leader™ Guide — a practical
reference they can return to when challenges arise. It anchors their learning and helps them stay focused, even under pressure.
Flexible and scalable.
It works across departments, locations and levels. Whether you run one group or
twenty, the structure stays consistent - and the change becomes contagious.
Get a clear, structured path to more courageous leaders.
Grounded in the Courageous Leader™ book.
Module 1: Introduction
Discover why courageous leaders are crucial. The module sets the tone, introduces key concepts, and prepares leaders for the journey ahead.
Modules 2: Stop.
Instead of reacting on autopilot, you start by Simply Stopping. This stage helps participants pause, stay quiet, resist sarcastic or emotional reactions — and keep hands off keyboards or phones.
Modules 2: Reflect.
Give yourself a moment – to be with your thoughts. Leaders
gain insight and clarity as they explore inner patterns and fears, understand their
reality, what matters most and what they want to be different.
Modules 3: Choose.
Make intentional, value-aligned decisions.
This module focuses on building the courage to choose wisely under pressure -
not automatically.
Modules 4: Act.
Take action — with ownership and presence. It sounds simple in theory — but in practice, acting with intention is often harder than we expect. This stage helps participants follow
through on what matters, even in difficult situations — for their organisation and all involved.
Module 6: Time to take action.
Create your Courageous Leader™ Guide.
A final integration session where participants create their personal roadmap to stay focused and accountable when facing future challenges.
By the end of the programme, your leaders will have received feedback, discovered what's holding them back, and learned how to handle reactions and tough situations with more awareness. They'll walk away with clear strategies to lead with courage – also under pressure.
The simplest way to move forward.
1. Book a short call.
We’ll explore your needs and whether the programme is a good fit.
2. Run a small pilot.
Start with 5–10 managers across teams, functions or regions. A low-risk way to test value and build support — flexible and led by HR.
3. Scale as needed.
Expand the programme internally, with HR in the driver’s seat.

Don't let firefighting become the norm.
It's a symptom of reactive habit that go unchallenged.
Ineffective training wastes more than budget. It wastes time, drains energy, adds frustration, and leaves your leaders no better equipped to handle the daily challenges they face than before.
And when learning doesn’t stick, the burden lands right back on HR – again.
You don’t need another tool that looks good on paper.
Your managers don’t just need more knowledge. They need the ability to act differently — and the tools to move beyond internal barriers, so they can lead with courage when it counts.
As pressure to “fix things” grows, you could still be left without the tools or influence to help your managers move out of reactivity. And while that reactivity continues, goals are missed, energy drops, top talent leaves – or never joins.
This isn’t about learning more – it’s about doing differently.
