Emerging Leaders Program – Rebecca Evans Testimonial

‘It took me a while to find a leadership coach I wanted to work with, and I feel incredibly lucky to have come across Michael, who has the right mix between personable but professional and supportive but honest feedback. At first I knew there were areas I wanted to work on, but I couldn’t put my finger on what they were. Michael not only helped me identify these areas, but then grounded and rooted me in my own values, strengths and purpose which has helped realign me with my own goals and direction. “

Equity and Fairness Are Definitely Core Leadership Values

Equity and Fairness are most definitely core leadership values – for leaders in business as well as the general populace. International Women’s Day. Thank you to Christine Holgate for sharing this powerful video on her Facebook page that I wanted to share here.

Core Leadership Values

The most powerful and frustrating thing about this video is that what is being asked for should already exist within a free and fair society – like Australia. The fact that it doesn’t is an indictment of our current culture, systems, processes and of course leadership – both in Government and business. That half the population has to ask to have these discrimination issues addressed rather than them already exist is the problem.


I encourage all leaders to support what is being asked for:
– Create free and accessible early childhood education and care
– Expand paid parental leave
– ACT on the National plan for First Nations women and girls
– Deliver strong and consistent child sexual assault laws
– Insist employers step up and prevent sexual harassment and bullying
– Establish 10 days paid family and domestic violence leave 
– Support laws to get rid of the gender pay gap.
All women experience inequality. Share now and help to end it.

#safey #respect #equity #IWD

Given the post and video above, we shouldn’t have to say in in 2022, but IMLD is committed to ensuring that all of our leadership programs, executive leadership coaching, executive coaching and leadership workshops promote free and fair treatment of 100% of our society, not just part of it.

Emerging Leaders Program Enhances & Builds Leadership Skills

The IMLD Emerging Leaders Program – Workshop 12 is being completed this afternoon with the amazing team from Summer Foundation Ltd. It is with a tinge of sadness that I prepare for the final workshop developing the leadership skills and management behaviours of this amazing group of people.

This leadership program includes 12 Workshops over 6 months developing leadership skills, management behaviours, values, team development, difficult conversations and culture / cohesion skills for an amazing group of established, new and emerging leaders.

I have loved catching up with this group of legends every fortnight for the last 6 months, watching them build and enhance their leadership and management skills, both through their own reflection and learning, as well as with each other and utilising the skills they have learnt with their teams.

To Rebecca, Vince, Jessica, Megan, Alison, Nicholas, Joanna, Hitesh, Melissa, Emma and Carla, it has been a pleasure to work and learn with you all. I wish you all the success into the future on your continued leadership development journey. ❤️

Thank you to Alecia Rathbone and Joanne E Mear for the opportunity for Michael Peiniger to work with your talented and dedicated group of leaders and managers.

We wish you and your team continued success and wish you well in your continued leadership journey. ❤️

Do you know the impact you have on your leader and / or team? Completing a leadership assessment tool to assess your leadership strengths and weaknesses is the first step that Bryony took in her executive leadership coaching journey.

If you are unsure of your impact on your leader / team, perhaps you should complete the Velocity Leadership CheckPoint? 25 behavioural leadership traits, focussed in 5 distinct leadership capabilities – a ‘must know’ for any leader or team looking to drive high performance.
