Leadership in Action

Workshop information

Strengthen leadership skills through practical experience

Leadership isn’t just about strategy – it’s about taking action. Leaders who can apply their skills effectively in real-world situations inspire confidence, foster collaboration, and deliver results.

This workshop focuses on bringing leadership skills to life, helping participants build confidence in their ability to lead in dynamic and challenging situations. Part of the Empowering and Communicating practices of the practive8 model, this three-hour session equips leaders with the tools they need to translate leadership principles into impactful action.

Why leadership in action matters

Theory is important, but it’s action that defines great leadership. Leaders who can translate principles into practice can:

  • Build trust by demonstrating competence and decisiveness.
  • Foster collaboration by guiding teams through complex situations.
  • Adapt to challenges with resilience and clarity.

As Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
