Looking for Leadership Development in St Kilda?
“The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born – that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.”
-Warren Bennis
Are you struggling to juggle operational and people management responsibilities? Do you desire a deeper understanding of your leadership motivations? Perhaps you’re navigating the challenges of a new leadership role. Leaders often ascend due to their excellent work, yet organisations rarely provide sufficient leadership development opportunity. Leadership skills are cultivated, not innate. Our team of psychologists will evaluate your current leadership context and aspirations, then offer personalised support to bridge the gap.
Discover a tailored leadership development program focused on enhancing your ability to lead both yourself and others, while prioritising performance and wellbeing.
We know that the world of work is becoming more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Organisations are facing contemporary challenges with blended and hybrid work models, the increased sophistication of artificial intelligence and a greater emphasis on ethical business practices. These changes are rapidly evolving, and there is a significant amount of pressure on leaders to support others through the turmoil – this can often leave leaders feeling:
- Isolated
- Unsupported
- Incapable
- Stressed
- Anxious
- Helpless
We are dedicated to helping you maximise your leadership effectiveness within this modern work environment. Our psychologists blend contemporary leadership theory with practical coaching experience to create customised programs for leaders at all levels. Optional psychometric assessments provide valuable insights into your motivations and their impact on your daily performance, including personality and values.
Reach out to unlock your leadership potential and take your practice to the next level.
Below are a few our most frequently asked questions. Take a look and if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
A psychologist is trained with undergraduate and postgraduate studies of psychological science and assessment. Psychologists treat those that range from those who suffer serious mental illness to those needing support in understanding their relationships, thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with additional specialised training in mental health. They are able to prescribe medication and work well with GP’s and psychologists.
Have you ever been to a GP and thought you might be suited to another doctor? It is the same with a psychologist. It is important that in the first session you ask questions and learn about the therapist’s style in order to feel comfortable. You or someone you know may have had a disappointing experience with a psychologist in the past – do not let this be a barrier to reaching your goals, it just wasn’t the right fit. We care about placing you with the right person, with the right intervention and at the right time.
Absolutely not. Psychological therapy is available to every person on planet earth. We are all human and share similar hopes, fears and struggles. No one is immune to the complexity of life and seeking education about your mental health is something to be proud of. Each year we get better at communicating our mental wellbeing, and our communities are benefitting from the results.
As caring and empathetic your concerns may be for a loved one, it is up to them to make change happen. But your insight and access to our resources can be of great benefit. The Contemporary Psychology clinic has a wide variety of information to offer so you can direct them to this website, this way they can see what we’re on about, and they can send an email or give us a call. You are also encouraged to attend and discuss your own fears regarding a loved one if this has been getting you down.
