Lead to Connect Training Program - May 2026

LEAD TO CONNECT

Connect, understand and inspire with emotional intelligence.

OVERVIEW

Connect with intention. Coach with confidence. Influence with emotional intelligence.

Today’s leaders are navigating endless priorities, increasing expectations and teams who are stretched, uncertain or disengaged. Many are operating in a constant state of reactivity - moving quickly, solving problems, and doing their best to support others, often without the space to reflect on how they’re leading.

At the same time, the demands placed on leaders have never been more human. Employees want clarity, empathy, trust and psychological safety. They want to feel heard. They want leaders who are aware, intentional and capable of supporting both performance and wellbeing.

Lead to Connect addresses this modern leadership gap by strengthening the foundations that matter most: emotional intelligence, coaching capability, and the ability to create an environment where people can think clearly, communicate openly and contribute meaningfully.

Through four highly interactive sessions, you will learn how emotions drive behaviour, how to tune into yourself and others, and how to shift from directing to empowering. We explore the relationship between mindset and action, expand awareness, practise powerful questioning, and understand what is required to build genuine psychological safety.

By the end of the program, you will experience a shift - from reaction to intention, from telling to coaching, and from managing tasks to influencing people with clarity, confidence and connection.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Across four sessions, you will strengthen your self-awareness, emotional intelligence and coaching capability to build trust, connection and high-performing teams.

 Session 1: Awareness, Attention & Emotional Intelligence Foundations

Build awareness through emotional and attention check-ins, and the distinction between doing and being. Learn to listen to connect, shift from reasons to results, use the six modes of leading, and lead from love rather than fear.

Session 2: Coaching With Curiosity & Perspective

Move from telling to asking, practising the seven essential coaching questions and an ask-over-tell approach. Explore NLP principles, learn to shift between big-picture and detail, and apply the GROW model to structure purposeful coaching conversations.

Session 3: Emotional Intelligence Deep Dive + Coaching Application

Explore how emotions shape behaviour using the Emotional Capital framework and review your EQ profile for insights and development opportunities. Apply your lessons through practical coaching scenarios, identifying patterns, strengths and growth areas in others.

Session 4: Psychological Safety, Meaning-Making & Sustainable Leadership

Learn how to build psychologically safe environments and understand how meaning-making influences behaviour. Practise reflective frameworks, apply the GROW model to real situations, and close with an emotional check-in to anchor self-awareness and sustainable connection.
