EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP
Many of our clients tell us that they want to upskill their leadership or that of their managers and team leaders; that they want to develop themselves and help their employees become better managers, leaders, and business people. But how?!
We’ve created a 1-day workshop specifically designed for the owners, managers and team leaders in your business focused on effective leadership.
A WORKSHOP THAT WORKS
To make you a better Leader and Manager
Over the course of one day, Zac will share:
- Leadership styles and techniques
- The personal traits of a successful leader
- The importance of a good team culture and how to develop one
- The art of prioritisation and delegation
- How to get the best from your people
- Personal development, including performance and goal setting, setting better habits, and other leadership-focused exercises and knowledge
- And so much more…







All information is delivered in Zac’s usual easy-to-understand, jargon-free style, with plenty of real-life examples to bring the theory alive and a take-home folder of additional exercises and tools.
What attendees say:
Zac is the most Google 5-star-rated coach in both New Zealand & Australia.
Awesome 1 day leadership course that covers a lot of ground very well. Highly recommended.
Nigel Beach
Thank you Zac for such a motivating day! I attended the 1 Day Intensive Leadership Course and came away feeling inspired and ready to implement some of the tools and skills we went through. Zac is a great speaker and is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable — and the food and coffee was amazing too.
Deanna Walker
These days small business owners need to wear a lot of hats. Luckily Zac de Silva is a master milliner! If you’re struggling with any aspect of running your business from strategy to financial planning; leadership and management skills; or even just which hat suits you and which you could leave others to wear, Zac will help you calm the overwhelm. His topic specific sessions are particularly worthwhile as they pack masses of learning into just ‘one day out of the office.’ Definitely recommend.
Liz Oldfield
I just wanted to thank you for a really inspiring Leadership and Management course. It was super thought provoking and allowed me to see that I am indeed capable of doing the gnarly stuff as well as the big picture stuff.
JUDE TURNER
I found the leadership course really valuable, so thank you! I really liked how practical the course was and appreciated how positive you were about everybody’s ideas. The leadership plan I have now is amazing and will help me so much.
MORGAN HOLLIS-WARD
Really really loved the course! It really has given me a lot of courage that I’ve been lacking in the last 12 months. It feels like a good thing to follow to get me back on the horse! I am excited now…
GREG FROMONT
Thought provoking, Zac’s workshop took my self reflection to a new level – absolute GAME CHANGER for me. The tools and methods Zac uses as part of the workshop really help to drive the most out of the day. I came away with an extensive learning plan and some great focus points to work on to take my leadership to the next level – really fantastic and cannot wait to do another one.
Stu Lill
To be honest, I absolutely loved your take on leadership Zac. It was so interesting the way you discussed it and how you organised it into a personal leadership plan for myself. Definitely a course I would recommend to other managers at TCA. It feels amazing to have more knowledge and confidence to be stronger in these leadership / management areas to become a better me.
BHAVIK DAYA
Really enjoyed the workshop – learnt a lot but also liked how we were guided into answering our own questions. I came away feeling energised and very positive.
Aidan McWilliams
Zac has a knack for asking the right questions to get you thinking about your business from new perspectives – working with him is always time well spent.
James Richardson
The leadership programme that Business Changing offer is a great way to take a step back from your business and look at what you offer as a manager and how you can improve. It was good to come away from the day with a list of achievable actions that can be implemented immediately. Thanks again Zac and the team.
Scott Benton
A full day course I attended, very compact but full of useful tips and knowledge that will assist me to grow. One of the few workshops that I don’t feel like falling to sleep. Thanks!
Jackson Zhao
Just wanted to say a massive thanks for the workshop. It was great to spend the time working on my management abilities and highlight some key areas of development for myself and the team. It was also great to meet others! I have such a great prioritised focus now and look forward to the impact this has on our business and our people.
HARRY WHEELANS
Awesome leadership course! It definitely made me so much more focused on how I lead and manage people. My mind has started regenerating again which is so exciting. I cannot wait to see where I get to in a year or two with all the tools you shared and implementing my leadership plan.
STEPH MATATAH
Highly recommend taking the time to work on yourself with the ‘1day leadership course’. Zac’s down to earth style and solid methodology to create a proactive plan for better leadership, is well worth the time and money — infact invaluable!
Phoebe Edge
It was great to meet you and to be part of your workshop. It was a bit confronting (in a good way) in terms of what I don’t know and what I need to work on to get to the level I would like to be at. It was also reaffirming for me that many of the things I am doing and have started doing recently are heading in the right direction and working well. I want to say thank you to you Zac for the knowledge and support you give to Josh and indirectly to myself, I look forward to more learning and growing and being able to smash our goals.
CRAIG WALLACE
The Leadership Workshop was 5-star! The content was relevant and some good reminders, too. Great to come away with a plan on how to put all the learnings into action.
Victoria Davis
I have attended Zac’s 1-day Business Changing Leadership Course as I begin my career as a leader/ manager. Zac’s course has given me many helpful tools and has lead me down right path to being a successful manager. I found the course has given me direction and clarity around what steps to take next.
Brent Mcmillan
Zac de Silva, wow so much knowledge and good business sense was imparted over the day I spent on your course. I came away feeling empowered and equipped with the psychological tools to really be an asset to my manager and company. Thank you so much.
Melanie James
Incredible workshop to think about different leadership strategies and set up future goals. Thanks Zac and team.
Benny Sidhu
Thanks so much Zac. I really enjoyed the workshop, and feel like I have come away with some really actionable and clear takeaways. For me it has really emphasised the importance of the energy and areas of focus that I need to put into my team to enable me to do my role more effectively and for my team to be higher performing.
LUCY SLATER
You’ve given me some great techniques to refer to. It was great to experience the course and to do something for myself. It will definitely make me a better leader of my team as a result. Thanks so much Zac, it was such a great course.
JUDITH HARRISON
The next step in self development is right here with Zac and his team. Challenge the way you think about leadership/management and absorb the valuable personal tools to help you progress further in your career and life. The positive reinforcement of each step gives me courage and self belief to tackle the more difficult tasks that I would normally try to push aside.
Gavin Gratkowski
It was lovely to have meet you and your team Zac. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to attend one of your workshops. The workshop provided me with many useful takeaways, not only regarding my development as a leader, but also on a personal level. I look forward to spending some time in the coming weeks digesting my notes and finalising my action plan based on my takeaways.
