12 WEEK LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
12 WEEK LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Lead Like This is a 12-week online leadership development training programme designed to grow confident, emotionally intelligent leaders—without the jargon, theory overload or off-the-shelf frameworks that tend to miss the mark.
Centred around six practical, evidence-informed leadership fundamentals, the programme tackles the real challenges leaders face today— from how teams work and understanding others (including all personalities and neurotypes), to handling conflict.
Created and led by Anna Jester, founder of Lead Happy, Lead Like This is a mind-altering, energising and results-driven journey that is designed for digital – It’s not an in-person course moved online. Participants leave with sharper self-awareness, increased confidence, and leadership behaviours that stick.
