Leading others through change is hard.

Leading others through change when you’re the one running on empty?

That’s a recipe for burnout, bad decisions and resentment (and a lot more unnecessary spot fires to put out).

In this 3-week online course, we bring together the best of neuroscience, psychology and behavioural science to help you understand stress — not just as a vague feeling, but as a biological force that can hijack your judgement and sabotage your leadership.

You’ll learn how self-neglect doesn’t just hurt you — it bleeds into your teams, your home life, your purpose.

The good news?

There are ways to disrupt the spiral and rebuild resilience without becoming a green juice zealot.

What We’ll Cover

Week 1: The Science of Stress
How your brain and body respond to change, threat and uncertainty — and why this matters more than you think.

Week 2: Bad Decisions and Rotten Eggs
The brutal truth about what survival mode does to empathy, clarity and judgement (and why your worst meeting moments are probably not character flaws).

Week 3: From Reactivity to Recovery
Tactics and tools for regulating stress in the moment — and designing long-term strategies that stick.

What You’ll Walk Away With

• Practical tools to prioritise your own wellbeing — even when everything feels urgent.

• Strategies to maintain emotional energy through times of uncertainty and upheaval.

• A framework to rediscover what really matters when life throws curveballs.

• Techniques for recognising and interrupting your stress responses before they derail your day (or your team).

• Who is this course for?

  • Change leaders, managers, team leads — anyone holding space for others while life or work feels messy.

  • People who’ve mastered “high-functioning anxiety” but would rather not wear it like a badge.

  • Anyone who suspects “resilience” means more than just not crying in meetings.

• Why does a course like this matter?

  59% of Australians experienced a major personal stressor in the past year.
  75% have lived through at least one traumatic event.

  In short: stress is not the exception. It’s the backdrop.
  And if you're leading others — especially through change — your wellbeing isn't just a nice-to-have. It's the operating system.

  Sometimes, we don’t have anyone else to lean on.
  This course helps you become that person for yourself — with skill, with science, and with a little less self-judgement.

  Because of the small size, sessions book out quickly!

  If the current round is full or the dates/times don’t quite work for you, we can pop your name on the waitlist for the next cohort. But fair warning: we only run this course a few times a year.

  So if you’re even thinking about joining — better to grab a spot now. Future You might send you a thank-you card.

• What if I can't join each week?

  We understand that sometimes life gets in the way and other things need to take priority. That's why we record all sessions and make them available on a private viewing link.
