Ethical, values-driven leadership.
The Leadership Sphere is an Australian leadership development consultancy helping leaders, teams and organisations strengthen leadership capability and achieve sustainable performance.
Founded by Phillip Ralph in 2007, we deliver tailored leadership development programs, executive coaching, team development and assessment solutions across Australia and internationally.
What We Do
The Leadership Sphere provides leadership development, coaching, team development and assessment services designed around the needs of leaders, teams and organisations.
Leadership development
We design tailored leadership development programs for individuals, teams and organisations, helping leaders strengthen capability and apply practical leadership skills in the workplace.
High performance teams
We work with leadership teams to strengthen trust, alignment, communication and the behaviours that support sustained team performance.
Executive coaching
Our executive coaching supports leaders to build self-awareness, address development priorities and strengthen their effectiveness in their role.
Assessment and profiling
We use leadership assessments and profiling tools to help individuals and organisations understand strengths, behaviours and areas for development.
What kind of leader do you want to be?
We often hear answers like these.
Wholehearted. Brave. Successful. Inspiring.
But that’s not always what we see.
We see teams that are good, but not yet high performing, because they’re more ‘nice’ to each other than honest and clear.
We see leadership teams that can’t achieve big goals together because everyone focuses on leading their own portfolio, not the whole enterprise.
We see teams undermined by favouritism, conflict avoidance and slow decision making because people don’t trust each other.
We see great technical performers struggling to succeed as people managers because their organisation has no leadership training plan.
Our Solution
We work closely with clients to understand their leadership challenges, organisational context and desired outcomes before recommending a program or development approach.
Our tailored programs can combine workshops, coaching, assessments, blended learning and practical application, depending on the needs of the individual, team or organisation. We use evidence based methodologies and impact mapping to connect leadership development with meaningful workplace outcomes.
Our approach is designed to strengthen:
Clarity
Helping leaders understand priorities, expectations and what effective leadership looks like in their organisation.
Capability
Building the practical skills, confidence and behaviours leaders need to perform effectively.
Contribution
Supporting leaders and teams to apply what they learn in ways that create value for their organisation.
