Description
Boost your middle managers' leadership skills with our 3-month Middle Leaders Academy. Featuring 6x 2-hour workshops and 6x individual coaching sessions, this programme focuses on practical application, accountability, and minimal time away from work. Designed for new and experienced managers in the Bay of Plenty.
Why Choose Our Programme?
- Practical and Immediate Implementation: Over the course of three months, participants will engage in 6x face-to-face workshops (2-hours). Each session is packed with actionable tips and techniques that can be implemented right away, ensuring that your managers can start making a difference from day one.
- Focused on Accountability: Unlike other training programmes, this programme includes 6x individual coaching sessions with our expert facilitator, Kate Horton. These sessions are designed to reinforce the workshop learnings in their work environment, provide personalised support, and ensure that the new skills are effectively integrated into daily work practices. This course focuses on making enduring improvements.
- Supportive Learning Environment: Participants will benefit from a collaborative and supportive coaching environment, learning alongside other middle managers from a variety of different sectors. This diverse interaction fosters a rich exchange of ideas and experiences, enhancing the overall learning experience.
- Minimal time away from work: The programme’s six 2-hour sessions are spread over three-months, ensuring that participants focus on implementing a couple of concepts at a time, and they’re able to return to work for the remainder of the day.

About the Course Facilitator – Kate Horton
Middle leadership roles have always found me. From being Vice Captain of the St Paul's Collegiate Open A netball team, to Associate Principal at Endeavour Primary School, and now the co-founder of 2 businesses; I've always loved opportunities to lead from the middle.
I've turned my experience and passion for middle leadership into a career where as a director of Coaching CoLab and Plexus Consulting, I get to help aspiring, new and experienced middle leaders across Aotearoa to master their roles.
I've picked up the paperwork to back it up too. Recently I've completed a Post Grad in Leadership from Waikato University, got an accreditation with the International Coaching Federation, become a Certified Coaching Professional through Well College Global.
