Top Tips To Thrive In 2025

Leadership isn’t just about expertise. It’s also about presence, relationships, and strategic thinking. If you’re looking to rise into senior management, here’s how you can prepare yourself to thrive, while inspiring those around you.

Tips for Getting Promoted to Senior Management

1. Establish Executive Presence: Develop gravitas and build your reputation internally and externally as a thought leader and expert.
2. Strengthen Relationships: Build connections across departments to foster trust and collaboration.
3. Craft a Long-Term Career Strategy: Think ahead. For example, if your role requires you to have international experience, identify the countries or markets you need exposure to and plan your moves strategically.
4. Master People Skills: Handle difficult conversations with confidence and navigate complex workplace dynamics with ease.
5. Attract and Surround Yourself with Talent: Your ability to identify, hire, and nurture great talent will determine your long-term success as a leader.

These are the skills that separate great leaders from good ones. And you don’t have to figure them out alone.

Bridging the Gap Between Ambition and Action

Do you often struggle to:

• Maintain calm and focus when faced with stress or constant change
• Approach conflicts with empathy and resolve them constructively
• Quiet your inner critic, break through self-doubt, or manage emotional triggers

Or maybe you feel like:

• Your ideas don’t resonate or leave the mark you hope for
• Office dynamics and politics are more challenging than they should be
• You’re eager to advance in your career but unsure how to plan your next moves strategically

Deep Human Leadership is our signature masterclass for those who find it difficult to stay centred amidst stress and rapid change, communicate with empathy while resolving conflicts, or manage their inner critic and emotional triggers. This is an immersive 2-day workshop that focuses on building self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience. You’ll walk away with practical tools to lead yourself and others with confidence and adaptability in today’s complex world.

Deep Human Influence dives into the unspoken skills that drive career growth —persuasion, gravitas, and navigating workplace dynamics. This is for those who feel like their ideas aren’t landing with the impact they deserve, navigating workplace politics feels overwhelming, or they’re ready to take the next big step in their career but lack a clear roadmap. This hands-on, bestselling masterclass will help you refine your communication, tackle difficult conversations, and strategically position yourself as a trusted expert and leader in your field.

Close the gap between where you are and where you want to be as a leader. Our masterclasses are designed to give you not just the tools but also the mindset to transform your leadership and career trajectory.
