Accelerate Leadership Excellence: Behavioural Intelligence for the Modern Workplace with Preetie Boler

Workshop Overview

A Full-Day Expert-Led Intensive Masterclass

Leadership rarely fails due to a lack of skill or strategy.
It fails in the moments that matter most - how leaders respond under pressure, the conversations they avoid, and the behaviours they default to when stakes are high.

Research shows that up to 70% of team engagement is driven by the manager’s behaviour. Yet most leadership programs don’t address what leaders actually do in high-pressure situations.

This immersive, full-day masterclass introduces the Shiftcode™ behavioural intelligence framework - a practical system to help leaders recognise reactive patterns and shift them in real time.

Designed for immediate application, this is not theory - it’s a structured approach to changing behaviour where it matters most.

Who Should Attend

This program is ideal for:

• Mid-to-senior leaders

• Experienced managers and emerging executives

• Leaders who have completed foundational leadership training

• Professionals responsible for team performance, engagement and culture

• HR, People & Culture, and L&D professionals seeking practical leadership solutions 

It is particularly valuable for leaders who:

• Sense their teams are capable of more

• Want to lead with greater confidence, clarity and influence

• Are navigating complexity, change or increased accountability

• Work in high-pressure environments where leadership behaviour directly impacts outcomes 
  
  
• Have completed prior leadership training but struggled to translate it into consistent action
  
  
• Are navigating increased complexity, change or accountability, where reactive leadership carries real risk

What You’ll Learn

Participants will develop the behavioural awareness required to lead effectively in today’s workplace, where influence matters more than authority.

By the end of the program, you will be able to:

• Recognise and shift unhelpful leadership behaviours under pressure

• Close the gap between leadership intention and behavioural impact

• Build trust, psychological safety and engagement

• Navigate difficult conversations with confidence and composure

• Lead with greater awareness, resilience and authenticity
  
  
  
  

The Business Case for This Masterclass

Leadership behaviour under pressure isn’t just a development issue - it has measurable organisational impact.

•    Disengaged employees can cost up to 34% of their salary in lost productivity 
•    Organisations with low engagement experience higher turnover and more safety incidents 
•    The direct manager is the single biggest driver of engagement 

For many organisations, the cost of unmanaged leadership behaviour can be significant - across productivity, retention, safety, and performance.

This masterclass focuses on addressing the behavioural root cause behind these outcomes, equipping leaders with tools they can apply immediately.
