First lead yourself, 
then you can skilfully lead others

 
Drawing on ancient wisdom and the latest science, Leadium elevates the essential elements of skilful leadership to develop genuine executive presence and prioritise wellbeing.
 

We are passionate about enabling current and emerging leaders to develop true executive presence. We help them align their behaviours with their goals, deepen their relational skills, develop superior communication skills and support their wellbeing. These vital, astute leaders are able to effectively self-manage and foster positive, high-performance teams. 

We partner with organisations that value the deep human skills that drive professional purpose and fuel exceptional performance.

Step up to Leadership 5.0

More than ever, today's leaders require mental agility and deep relational skills to ensure their organisations thrive.
Human-centric, technologically savvy and fundamentally sustainable, 

Industry 5.0 has set the new international benchmark in purposeful innovation, economic inclusion and leadership best practice.

Against the backdrop of post-pandemic volatility, resulting in high rates of burnout and disengagement, combined with higher employee wellbeing expectations, organisations need courageous, compassionate and clear-thinking leaders who make the most of the challenging global landscape.

 
Leadership 5.0 is the way of the future.

Reflecting the future-forward values of Industry 5.0, Leadership 5.0 combines the latest human-centric practices with technological innovation for purpose-driven success.

At Leadium, we focus on cultivating three essential elements of Leadership 5.0.

These integral leadership qualities are developed through all of Leadium's programs and executive coaching opportunities.

We pledge 1%

At Leadium, we are determined to do our bit to reduce inequality and eradicate global poverty.
One of the actions that we have taken is the 1% Pledge.

We are one of an ever-growing number of organisations around the world who are integrating philanthropy into their business.

We have committed to donating 1% of our profits to the global independent development and humanitarian organisation, Plan International.

Currently there is nowhere in the world where girls are treated as equals. Plan International works alongside children, young people, supporters and partners to tackle root causes of the injustices facing girls and the most marginalised children. We are honoured to be supporting their life-changing work.

We will continue to develop the philanthropic dimension of Leadium over time…
