EXTREME LEADERSHIP
Leadership and Teamwork Course
Self-paced, online program to equip you and your teams with enhanced leadership and teamwork skills, brought to you by Rachael Robertson, international leadership expert and Antarctic Expedition Leader.
Do you want to accelerate your career, make the next step or work in your own team more effectively?
The Extreme Leadership course will introduce you to the fundamental mindsets and behaviours that underpin good leadership.
Twelve sessions packed with important leadership ideas delivered in Rachael’s laidback no-nonsense way. Practical ideas that are fast to implement and are proven to work.
WHY YOU SHOULD ENROL
This online leadership and teamwork course is for you if:
You are looking to manage yourself, your team or organisation more effectively
You need to reach more people with a key message
You want to create a more respectful and positive work culture
You want to develop your ability to execute despite uncertainty
You want to have a greater impact where it matters most
WHAT’s IN THE PROGRAM?
The course is delivered in 12 sessions. Each session contains a video where Rachael presents the main idea, a model or framework and stories about how she uses this mindset or behaviour to lead herself and others. Then, the workbook recaps the key-points of the video and asks you reflective questions to bring the idea to life in your world.
The greatest leaders work hard at being the best leader they can be. This session develops self-awareness and the ability to review your own behaviours and performance.
The fastest way to be a leader is to start acting like one. Recognise and capture small everyday moments that inspire trust, confidence and loyalty in those around you.
Your career and life will be defined by what you did, not what didn’t do. Learn tools to focus on being ready for opportunities, measuring risk and making bold moves.
Great leaders have a specific language palette - there are words they will always choose over others. Learn the LADAR (language radar) and what to say and what not to.
Learn to paint a picture with numbers AND with words. We look at shaping your ideas so that everyone can understand them from their own perspective.
With up to 5 generations in your workplace, we learn generational differences in how we think and how we are motivated to successfully lead across generations
The goal of harmony should come with a warning label! Learn to look at team harmony as an outcome of respect and trust and tools to build these.
The effective practice of no triangles is the single most important way to create respect and performance. We look at what it is, and how to apply it in your work or home.
There's a really good reason we call them difficult conversations! We'll work through the three phases of having a difficult conversation, with 10 memorable steps.
Four simple letters that make a big difference to how you lead and how people respond to you. A straight-forward yet powerful technique to get to the bottom of issues.
When is a small personality “niggle” a sign of a deeper issue? Learn about Bacon Wars, how to spot them and deal with them effectively.
We all have times of crisis or emergency. Beyond the practical contingency plans how you behave matters a lot. Learn about the four pillars of crisis leadership.

Program Design
Rachael’s secure, cloud-based Learning Portal (LMS)
The course is delivered in 12 sessions. At the beginning there is an opportunity to hear Rachael’s story about how she ended up leading an expedition to Antarctica. Each session then contains a video where Rachael presents the main idea, a model or framework and stories about how she has used this mindset or behaviour in the past. The workbook recaps the keypoints of the video and asks you reflective questions to bring the idea to life in your world. Resources are available to download and reuse.
Through it all, Rachael encourages the practice of personal reflection, using a journal for example, as a way to get a sense of progress and understanding what works, and what doesn’t, in your context.
Larger Teams
Many organisations adopt the program as part of their L&D activities. You can opt for self pacing or in cohorts with your internal facilitator. The course can be run from either Rachael’s portal or your own LMS. Use the form below and we’ll get in touch.
