We offer public certification workshops and an e-certification option for those who cannot attend or who wish to access immediate training. We also offer customized versions of the workshops for client organisations.
Action Inquiry (AI) & Global Leadership Profile (GLP)
Our Workshops are open to anyone interested in their own self-development and are a pre-requisite to certification for coaching and debriefing the GLP.

Bringing it all to life
At our workshops you will never be passively hearing somebody telling you how to do it right. Rather, you will be exercising active leadership, moving among peers in a community of inquiry, receiving direct feedback about your leadership impact, and collaboratively learning practical ways to:
Assess your current leadership action-logic
Assess your current leadership action-logic: your center-of-gravity, emergent, and fallback perspectives that guide your actions
Become conscious of and shift limiting habits
Become conscious of and shift some of the behavioural mental, and emotional habits that are currently limiting your effectiveness
Exercise your power
Exercise your power with greater flexibility in order to generate personal and organizational transformation
Develop collaborative practices
Develop collaborative practices that increase mindful, relational, and cultural intelligence in the wider organization
Build your capacity
Build your capacity to lead from the inside out
Participants on these programmes are international and come from all walks of life: commerce, manufacturing, financial services, information services, IT, consulting, academia and general education, and public services. This is what some of them have said …
I attended an AIA Action Logics seminar in March 2016. I can’t speak highly enough of the profes-sionalism of Bill, Nancy, and Elaine. Through their nuanced seminar, I was able to confirm my own action logic center of gravity and gain a sound understanding of how to evaluate others.
It was an outstanding program, it really stretched my thinking which was exactly what I wanted. I left with both a sore head and what feels like a much bigger perspective. Thanks!
Train with leading industry scholars and facilitators, and receive personal and organizational-specific feedback. To date, I have not experienced such detailed and tailored attention on my own personal leadership style from a workshop. You’ll walk away with deep learning that will transform how you teach, guide, and work with others.
