Leadership Programs

TRANSLATING RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE IS AT THE CORE OF OUR WORK AT VDI

In our programs, we hold safe spaces of transformative growth for participants, so they can experience first-hand the beauty, richness and messiness of development.

We walk the fine line between challenge and support, equipping leaders with the insights and practical tools they need to become catalysts for collective development in their teams and organisations.

As part of our commitment to democratize vertical development, we offer a range of scholarships for participants in the education and NFP sectors. Contact us to find out more.

BESPOKE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS

For over 15 years Alis has been designing and facilitating transformative learning programs in organisations large and small, across industries, sectors and cultures. She has coached hundreds of teams and senior leaders, supporting them in their growth.

As a practitioner, Alis balances group facilitation with executive coaching and brings her lens as a researcher in designing science-informed leadership programs and measuring ROI for organisational clients who invest in leadership development.

In her work with leaders, she is guided by a core underlying principle: the unconditional positive regard for the client’s resources and capacity to transform themselves. Alis believes a facilitator and coach’s role is to provide both developmental challenge and safe holding spaces for clients to safely get out of their comfort zone and tap into their developmental edge. In her work she seeks to be a clear, non-judgemental mirror that challenges with honesty and kindness. She is perpetually inspired and guided by one client’s words:

“The best quality of a coach is to be “un-dissappointable”
