Why Choose Leader-Led Development
§  ‘So$
Skills’
are
best
learned
by
prac5ce,
coaching
and
reinforcement

§  Leaders
learn
themselves
by
‘teaching’
others
–
so
that
the
leader
is

developing
coaching
skills
that
can
be
applied
in
any
domain

§  The
‘s5ckiness’
is
reinforced
because
it
is
reinforced
by
the
team
and

creates
a
culture
for
cri5cal
thinking

§  The
delivery
model
was
developed
so
that
it
does
not
need
any
pre-‐
training
or
cer5ﬁca5on
to
deliver

§  We
deliver
the
content
through
MindPops
so
that
the
leader
focuses
on

applica5on
of
the
content
to
the
work
environment
