Elevate your influence. Accelerate impact to create lasting value

Step Up and Influence is a practical one-day foundation program that introduces the core principles of influence and helps participants begin the work of understanding themselves, others and the system.

The Influential Leader is Michelle’s signature multi-day program. It goes deeper, includes the Influence Edge Diagnostic, builds capability over time and focuses on strategic influence, leadership presence and enterprise impact.

Yes. The Influence Edge Diagnostic is central to the program.

It gives participants a clear and honest starting point by showing where their influence currently sits on the Ladder of Influence and how they are operating across the five elements of the Influence Edge Model: Mindset, Integrity, Agile, Insight and Impact.

The diagnostic helps move the program from general leadership development to targeted capability building.

Yes. Participants receive an individual Influence Edge Diagnostic report, which outlines their current influence profile, strengths, watch-outs and development opportunities.

The report is designed to support reflection, coaching conversations and practical action planning. It helps participants identify where a deliberate shift could create the greatest lift in their influence and impact.

Yes. Individual diagnostic results are treated as confidential.

Participants receive their own report, and the program uses the diagnostic as a development tool, not as an assessment of performance or potential. Depending on the engagement design, de-identified cohort themes may be used to tailor the learning experience and help the organisation understand common development needs, but individual reports are not shared without participant consent.

Yes. Each program begins with a discovery conversation so the examples, scenarios, casework and activities reflect your organisation’s context, leadership priorities and stakeholder environment.

The diagnostic results also help shape the emphasis of the program, ensuring the learning is relevant to the cohort’s current influence patterns and development needs.

The time commitment depends on the program option selected and the depth of development required.

The Applied Program is typically delivered as three to five workshop days, either as a concentrated program or as modular sessions over several weeks or months. It also includes diagnostic completion, individual preparation and post-session reflection.

The Mastery Program is a more comprehensive pathway, typically delivered over four to six months, with workshops, applied workplace challenges, peer learning and coaching or reinforcement activities.

The final structure is tailored to your organisation’s rhythm, cohort size and desired outcomes.

The ideal group size is 10–25 participants to allow for meaningful discussion, practice, feedback and peer learning.

Larger cohorts can be accommodated through multiple groups, modular delivery or tailored program architecture.

The program works well for both.

For intact leadership teams, it creates a shared language for influence, strengthens trust and helps the team work more effectively across decisions, stakeholders and priorities.

For mixed cohorts, it builds influence capability across functions, levels or business units, helping participants broaden their networks, understand different perspectives and strengthen cross-organisational alignment.

The best structure depends on your goals: team effectiveness, leadership capability, succession development or enterprise-wide influence

Yes. The program can be delivered face-to-face, virtually or as a blended pathway.

For deeper behavioural practice, face-to-face delivery is often preferred, while modular virtual sessions can work well for distributed cohorts, reinforcement sessions and peer learning.

Participants can expect stronger self-awareness, clearer stakeholder strategy, improved communication, greater confidence in complex conversations and a more deliberate approach to creating value through influence.

At a cohort level, organisations can expect a shared language for influence, stronger stakeholder alignment, better quality conversations and more consistent approaches to building trust, shaping decisions and creating momentum.

Success is measured in partnership with the client and aligned to the program objectives.

Measures may include participant feedback, pre- and post-program reflection, diagnostic themes, action plans, stakeholder feedback, peer learning outcomes and evidence of applied behaviour change in live workplace situations.

For longer programs, an outcome review can be included to assess progress, learning transfer and the practical impact of the program.

Depending on the program level, support can include group coaching, peer learning circles, individual coaching, reflection activities, post-program resources, stakeholder feedback loops and outcome reviews.

This reinforcement helps participants move from insight to action and embed influence practices in their day-to-day leadership.

Pricing depends on the program option, cohort size, diagnostic requirements, delivery format, customisation and level of follow-up support.

Following an initial discovery conversation, Michelle and her team will prepare a tailored proposal outlining the recommended program structure, inclusions, delivery options and investment.
