Leadership development programs to help shape tomorrow's leaders

About our leadership development program

The Purpose-Driven Leadership Program is a group program that has been developed to support leaders working in organisations that have a strong sense of purpose and big ambitions to make a positive impact in the world.

The program is based on The Karuna Leadership Framework that was designed to establish a new form of leadership for organisations focused on delivering more than just profit. It will help commercial leaders, harness their purpose to expand their thinking and generate a greater positive impact in the lives of the people they serve – their shareholders, members, customers, employees and communities.

This program will help build commercial, impact-driven leaders who want to:

Translate the organisation’s purpose into action and create meaningful connections between their work, the work of their team and the organisation’s desired impact
Define and connect with their own purpose and help others do the same
Understand their strengths and how to use these for continuous growth and development
Design their work and the work of their team to deliver greater positive impact
Lead with both their head and their heart to deliver outcomes that are profitable and impactful.

The program will challenge leaders to experience both personal and professional development, explore self-awareness and mindfulness, strengthen peer collaboration, and embrace vulnerability to work with the unknown in the pursuit of continual evolution.

The program has been built to be theoretical, experiential and collaborative. It will enable leaders to undertake purposeful action and make a significant difference in the world through impactful, collective leadership.

Our leadership development program outline

The purpose-driven leadership development program includes four customised modules that can be delivered either face-to-face or via video conferencing

The program is designed to be flexible and fit the needs of the leadership team and their organisation’s strategic intent. The four modules can be delivered in fortnightly two-hour sessions via Zoom; or they can be compressed into two face-to-face sessions.

It is recommended that the four foundation modules are supplemented with two 1:1 coaching sessions for each participant.

A high-level overview of the program is provided below:

Module 1:

Articulating your current relationship to work and your fulfilment at work
Identifying stories and patterns from the past that shape your values, beliefs, behaviours and mindsets
Articulating your leadership style and its alignment with your values and beliefs

Module 2:

Identifying your strengths and superpowers and the application of these at work
Identifying the shadows to your strengths and how to focus your growth and development on rebalancing these
Designing the work of your team to leverage the diversity of strengths and create opportunities for collective growth

Module 3:

Module 4:

Creating your leadership legacy

Testimonials

This program has allowed me to reframe characteristics about myself that I was viewing as flaws or limitations. It’s easy for us to get wrapped up in the things that we aren’t. This course really helped me to rethink some of the light/dark areas that I was getting stuck in. The structure of the workshop was fantastic. There was an activity that had us drawing out the tasks in our day to day lives and placing them either above or below our “joy line”. Perhaps not surprising when we realized that our High Joy tasks play quite well to our strengths. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone that feels a little stuck, as Peta is great at creating a space where everyone is comfortable and leaves feeling heard and moreover, inspired.

This course has given me a unique insight into my personal strengths and purpose. The great feeling I had leaving the session has stayed with me in my daily work and is something I draw on every day. The program was engaging and interactive and gave us the opportunity to share openly and honestly. It was amazing to see the sense of comraderie and trust built within the group of women I work with as a result of doing this program together. I think that Peta’s courage to be vulnerable and share personal experiences and truths is what made the sessions so successful, by doing this she gives others permission to do the same.
