Trust Builds Teams

Strong relationships empower meaningful change for real impact.

Designed for tumuaki, leaders and teams, this course supports you to lead with clarity in times of complexity. When the fog of change is thick and the urgency to raise achievement and reduce disparity is real, relationships, culture, and purposeful dialogue matter more than ever and cannot be left to chance.

"We can have the conversations needed to create the results we say we want in our lives, or we can have all of our reasons why we can’t have those conversations. But we can’t have both. Reasons or results. We get to choose." – Susan Scott, 2004

What you'll gain:

Through the proven practices of Leading Adult Learning, you'll gain the tools, skills, and relational leadership capabilities needed to strengthen team culture. You’ll navigate improvement with confidence, and drive the kind of meaningful change that makes a lasting difference for your ākonga, your team, and your kura. Mahi tahi tātou. Let’s work together.

"Trust is not a soft, ‘fuzzy something’ that you either have or don’t have. Trust involves tangible, actionable behaviours that can be evidenced in our everyday interactions." – Covey, 2006

Why it works

In 2024, leaders rated their learning experience with us as 96.97% impactful. With the Leading Adult Learning (LAL) team, you’ll receive tailored professional learning designed to fit the needs of you, your team, and your learners.


This programme is about more than leadership skills - it’s about enabling real, sustainable change for the learners in your school or kura. When adults grow in confidence, collaboration, and the quality of their conversations, ākonga benefit.

This programme goes beyond leadership development - it empowers you to drive meaningful, lasting change for your school or kura. As leaders grow in confidence, collaboration, and the quality of their dialogue, ākonga thrive. Be part of a dynamic network of leaders creating the conditions for powerful learning - for themselves, their teams, and every learner they serve

Join a network of leaders committed to creating the conditions for powerful learning - for adults and for every ākonga they serve.
