The practive8 practices: Leadership that makes a difference

Leadership is about how you show up for people and what you do – how you communicate, how you handle pressure, and how you bring people together when it counts.

The practive8 practices focus on the skills that make the biggest impact. They help leaders build trust, navigate tough situations, and bring out the best in their teams. No one nails all of them, and that’s okay – leadership is a work in progress.

Explore the practive8 practices and find the workshops that will strengthen your leadership where it matters most.

Communicating

Clear communication is at the heart of great leadership. It’s not just about getting your message across – it’s about making it count. When you share what truly matters, in a way that’s authentic and easy to understand, people listen. Better yet, they act. By saying the right things in the right way, you build trust, inspire confidence, and set the stage for meaningful action.

Influencing

Influencing isn’t about authority or persuasion – it’s about connection. Whether you’re negotiating, collaborating, or simply finding common ground, with influence you can create momentum and inspire others to move forward together.

Discover the workshops that can help you strengthen your ability to build alignment and drive collaboration.

Thriving

Pressure is part of the job, but thriving under it? That’s where great leaders stand out. Thriving means staying calm, keeping your balance, and creating a positive environment – even when the stakes are high. It’s about modelling resilience and helping others stay focused and optimistic. When you thrive, you set the tone for everyone to do their best work.

Take a look at our workshops to build resilience and create environments where everyone can flourish.

Inspiring

Inspiration is contagious. As a leader, it’s your ability to connect with and inspire others that turns ideas into action. Whether it’s sharing your vision or championing their potential, inspiring others is about creating a spark. When you lead with passion and authenticity, you don’t just motivate people – you help them see what’s possible and want to be part of it.

Coaching

Coaching is one of the most powerful ways to lead. It’s not about having all the answers – it’s about asking the right questions. By giving feedback that’s honest and actionable, you help others discover their strengths and take the next step. When you invest in someone’s growth, you’re not just helping them improve – you’re showing them you believe in what they can achieve.

Collaborating

Collaboration turns good teams into great ones. It’s about creating trust, building alignment, and making sure everyone’s rowing in the same direction. As a leader, you set the tone for teamwork. When people feel valued and clear on their role, they don’t just work better – they work together.

Dive into our workshops to strengthen teamwork and alignment in your organisation.

Empowering

Empowering others is what makes leadership sustainable. It’s about setting clear expectations, giving people the tools to succeed, and holding them accountable. But it’s also about celebrating their wins and showing them what’s possible. When you empower others, you create a culture of confidence and momentum. Everyone grows, and the whole team benefits.

Grounding

Leadership starts from within. Grounding means staying true to your values, reflecting on your impact, and leading with intention. It’s about knowing yourself so you can show up as the best version of you – authentic, calm, and clear. When you’re grounded, you create space for others to feel secure, focused, and ready to take on what’s next.
