Service & Expertise

Leadership Development

Leader as Coach Skills

PunkPD provides leader as coach skills through high performance coaching programs that train coaches in the workplace, delivered face to face and virtually across Australia from a Canberra base.

  • High performance coaching programs prepare managers and internal coaches to run coaching conversations with their own teams, and run in both face to face and virtual formats.
  • Program design draws on neuroscience and neuro-semantics to make emotion, behaviour and cognition visible, and on contemporary research rather than a fixed syllabus.
  • Facilitation engagements manage personnel, participation, creativity and problem solving so a group reaches the goal it came for.
  • The PunkPD Academy carries learning online between face to face sessions, and a monthly newsletter, The Punk Edition, circulates tools and resources to past participants.

Best for: employers building internal coaching capability instead of buying one off workshops.

Learning, Training and Capability Development

Learning Strategy Design

PunkPD provides learning strategy design, building a professional development strategy for a client from an assessment of their own needs.

  • Strategies are designed and then delivered by the same team, for individuals, teams and whole organisations.
  • An annual professional development suite gives staff a scheduled series of facilitated conversations.
  • Cultural uplift programs extend the strategy into team culture and values.

Best for: employers replacing an ad hoc training calendar with a planned development program.
