I love learning through Leader-Connect, brilliant for my own and my team’s leadership development.
This is the world's first introductory course that introduces a different approach to how we need to develop future leaders - one that shows why emerging leaders will increasingly need a range of disruptive leadership capabilities in order to successfully navigate ongoing disruption and prepare their organization to be future ready.
I'm Paul Mac and I'm on a quest to evolve the conversations we're having (or not having) about the future of leadership - because our organisations (and approaches to how we identify, recruit, onboard and develop leaders) aren't successfully preparing us for the future.
We're overlooking the kinds of leadership capabilities we need to prepare for the future - recent estimates from Gallup suggest that the cost of voluntary turnover each year in the US alone is $1trillion and rising.
It also costs your organisation between 213-400% of each leader’s base salary to replace that leader.
What if there was a way to reduce or eliminate this?
The world's first introductory learning program that shows how organisations can be better equipped to prepare for how they identify, cultivate, embrace (and retain) the kinds of leadership capabilities that will be increasingly needed to make their organizations future ready and to successfully navigate ongoing disruption.
If you’re in charge of (or involved in) culture, people, HR, training, leadership development in your organisation, then this program is designed for you – whether you’re a busy executive, VP, director, manager, leader yourself, or just interested in learning and development, I know you’ll find value in this program.
The program contains over 25 short, accessible and practical videos, with numerous practical exercises and invitations (as well as a range of tools) to help you introduce what you're learning into your own organisation and to also reduce the costs of turnover.
In this program, I cover the three following areas:
i. Reframing our understanding of leaders with disruptive leadership capabilities.
ii. Why we will need these leaders and their role in org effectiveness.
iii. And introduces the original leader with disruptive leadership capabilities - the FIRED leader - defining, perceptions.
I've been working in this field for over 5 years - this program is the summary of a range of more in depth programs that have taken almost 2 years to develop.
A number of organizations that you may have heard of have recently shown interest in this work - including TD, IBM and Forbes School of Business.
If you're ready to prepare your organisation, current and future leaders for the future, then I look forward to welcoming you to the world's first ever program that is evolving the future of leadership.

“I’ve really enjoyed the variety in the learning approach on the Leadership Development Programme — from role play and games through to quiet reflection and team tasks — which kept the sessions engaging and made the learning easy to connect to real situations.
The session on teaching teams how to use the OODA model was particularly valuable for me personally. I’ve really enjoyed the course overall and have appreciated the relationships built along the way.”

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!
Deputy CEO, Bright Futures Educational Trust
The Leadership Development Programme is an excellent course. Full of lots of great content, but also thoroughly enjoyable and led by two enormously lovely guys in Paul & Marcus.

“Spending a day with Neil Jurd was genuinely transformational. It sharpened my sense of purpose as a Headteacher, brought fresh clarity to how I lead, and gave me renewed energy for the future. Colleagues noticed the difference immediately – that sense of clarity, calm and purpose that Neil draws out so naturally.
That’s why I’ve now booked all 21 of our Extended Leadership Team onto Neil’s leadership programme. It’s the perfect blend of inspiration and practicality – designed for schools, rooted in real leadership, and accessible through his excellent online platform. If you’re serious about developing people and culture, start here.”
