Leadership Education
Identify where plans might go wrong before they do
Support, training and advice for boards and leadership teams of purposeful organisations
For more than 15 years, Simon has been designing and delivering engaging leadership education programs that build strategic capability, strengthen decision making and provide leaders with the clarity to move forward with confidence. His programs have supported boards, executive teams and senior leaders across sectors, drawing on deep experience working with private, for-purpose and public sector organisations.
The learning experiences Simon provides range from one-off workshops through to 12+ month Strategic Leadership Programs. Regardless of the length of engagement, all of Simon’s leadership development activities have an acute focus on practicality and applicability. He strongly believes these are the core ingredients that make learning meaningful to participants and valuable to the organisation.
If your leaders are struggling to focus on the strategic rather than the operational, feeling overwhelmed by increasing uncertainty, or you need proven approaches to build shared understanding and improve collective decision making, take a look at some of the options Simon provides or get in touch to have a conversation directly.
A sample of recent learning experiences and programs include:
- A 12+ month program to drive cultural change within a premium building supply organisation
- Facilitating the strategy component of a public sector executive leadership program
- A 12-month strategic leadership program building strategic awareness and decision quality with an energy retailer
- A series of workshops to support strategic awareness and future-focused project prioritisation within a local council

Working with Simon was a wonderful experience. He gained trust and built rapport with our leadership team very quickly and his knowledge and process had us all deeply engaged. The outcome was also very powerful in reinforcing our future direction and the possible additional actions we need to be ready to take.

The Scenario Planning Guide is great and even for someone who’s been doing scenarios for years, it prompted some serious thinking. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the way you’ve made complex concepts accessible. I love the models and the layout. The whole book is exceptional!Â

Working with Simon is an incredibly enlightening and rewarding experience. His foresight and ability to distil complex information into an engaging story that resonates with the audience is exceptional. Every conversation with Simon takes you on a journey that has many forks in the road and it’s this skill that challenges and develops our strategic thinking. I highly recommend Simon Waller to any organisation.

Simon did a brilliant job of finding the balance between challenging and reassuring us, enabling us to be comfortable with being uncomfortable – to rise to the task of leadership in times of high uncertainty.

I would happily recommend Simon if you are looking for someone who will encourage you to expand your imagination, to get you thinking on another level, to consider new ideas, to think outside the box. Simon is engaging, interactive, and challenges your way of thinking. He is professional and creative, down-to-earth, and a likeable character who will help you get to where you need to be.
