Building Leadership Capabilities

Because the world of work is changing, and because life is no longer simple, we also work with university and high school students to help them navigate complex social and cultural dynamics.


The impact of technology and social networks, diminishing connection to traditional political and social institutions, an increasing emphasis on mental health and wellbeing, and concerns with respect to masculinity in particular are some of the important features of the modern world that shape young adults' values, professional identities and relationships.


Drawing on his broad yet deep interdisciplinary expertise and practical experience working with young adults in community, law school and university residential hall and colleges, Jeremy collaborates with schools, colleges and other organisations to give young adults the knowledge and skills they will need to become positive contributors to the social, economic and civic life of their communities while not being left behind by AI.


Leveraging his experience, examples of workshops Jeremy can deliver include:

  • The triadic approach to success: Confidence, conviction, humility
  • Peer-to-peer problem solving, connection and learning
  • Masculinity and mentoring
  • Let your values guide you


For teachers and leaders:

  • Understanding and implementing positive youth development principles and practice in educational and residential settings
  • Designing training programs to build leadership capabilities among young adults
  • Managing personal and professional boundaries: An interactive workshop to support wellbeing and promote useful relationships among students and others engaged in pastoral care activities
  • Understanding developmental relationships among young adults and creating "relationship-rich" cultures in pastoral communities
  • Story-telling workshops for program and project evaluation


Thank you for the fantastic session on masculinity and mentoring with our sports coaches. We really appreciated your approach and the energy you brought to the group. The boys were definitely engaged and receptive, and they got a lot out of it. It was great to see how involved they became once we started exploring other people’s strengths – we could have continued down that path for much longer! Student Wellbeing Leader, P-12 Independent Day and Boarding School


The masculinity and mentoring session was incredibly powerful and well received by our sports coaches. They engaged in the content,  identified their strengths and those of their peers, and built their capacity to identify areas of growth as a coach. I believe it was a powerful exercise that we will aim to continue termly. Head of Student Wellbeing, P-12 Independent Day and Boarding School

Virtual Mentoring

Workshop participants have the opportunity to participate in one-on-one virtual mentoring sessions with Jeremy for up to two weeks after completion of a workshop. The purpose of the mentoring is to provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on their learning and receive advice and feedback contextualised to their personal circumstances.

Scribing

There is an art to writing a good selection report. We take pride in our writing and deliver succinct, defensible, high quality reports that sensibly capture the selection panel’s deliberations against the Australian Public Service Commission’s Integrated Leadership System or other analogous institutional framework. We know that delivery of completed selection reports in a timely manner is critical in a competitive job market. That is why we also take pride in our market-leading turnaround time, delivering completed reports to you so you can coordinate the delegate’s endorsement of the selection panel’s recommendations and extend offers to successful candidates in an appropriate timeframe.

Jeremy was really fantastic. One of the better scribes that I've worked with. He was able to accurately and succinctly summarise the panel's discussion, which not many scribes can do. His report was also very well written. Selection Panel Chair, Commonwealth Government Agency


Thank you for a very enjoyable experience working with you to assess candidates for the bulk recruitment round and thank you for your advice and guidance. I learnt a lot from you about interview techniques and following gut instincts in the context of merit based recruitment aligned to the ILS. Selection Panel Chair, Commonwealth Government Department
