Academy of Leadership
and Team Development
Welcome to our online leadership and team development platform for businesses and individuals. If you prefer face to face leadership development , we also run excellent experiential learning courses.
Leader-Connect was founded by ‘The Leadership Book’ author Neil Jurd OBE, because good leadership makes the world a better place. Good leadership increases morale, retention, creativity and output.

Neil Jurd delivered training through our Polar Academy partnership that really resonated with the team. The results were so positive, we’ve booked another session and ordered 25 more copies of the Leadership Book.

Leader-Connect has worked with our senior leadership team, our headteachers, and our board of trustees, and has had a positive impact on each group. We love the online learning platform and are making good use of it.
We can see a real impact as a direct result of the training, with a shared vocabulary of leadership across the Trust's leaders which we aim to roll out to everyone.

Neil gave a keynote talk to all of our Executive Team and Trust Leaders. He spoke about leadership and was very engaging – leaving us wanting more.
The talk has already had an impact. We also bought copies of the leadership book for our leadership team and everyone has really enjoyed reading it & learning from it. We are keen to invite Neil back next year!
