Global Leadership Foundation is recognised for its significant contribution to the development of transformational leadership programs within the private, professional, community and public sectors. They work with executives, board members and managers in these sectors to help develop and transform them into capable, empathic and effective leaders. They work with organisations, teams and individuals in Australia and abroad to develop bespoke programs to suit organisational needs. These include but are not limited to: mentoring senior leaders in the planning, development and sponsorship of leadership programs, strategic direction, planning and structural review, organisation renewal and cultural transformation, coaching and mentoring, team development, facilitation programs and leadership experiences/retreats. Through their Foundation, held with the Australian Communities Foundation, they sponsor and support the development of leaders in community- both in Australia and abroad. This is supported by a significant pro-bono and low-bono program that recognises the need for communities and not-for-profits to be able to access organisational support and leadership development in order to build strong foundations, thus allowing them to have a bigger positive impact on society.
