YOUR INSTRUCTORS - DARREN & ANDRÉ

André Alphonso

Sydney, Australia

"I remember feeling anxious, overwhelmed and completely underprepared when I first became a leader. That is why I have created this program with Darren. My desire is to better prepare new, and experienced leaders to navigate their leadership role. I do this by helping them develop the necessary skills, adopt the right mindset, and apply proven tactics so they develop the confidence, capability and desire to be great. Having trained over 30,000 people in leadership skills, selling skills, and professional and personal development skills in organisations all around the world, I am now eager to bring all that knowledge and experience to you. I am also a leader and currently lead multiple businesses and teams when I am not teaching others. I get what it is to be a leader of people."

Darren Bagshaw

Calgary, Canada

What drives me is seeing the ripple effect great leadership can have—not just on business results but on people's lives. That's why I created this program with Andre. Together, we've distilled our extensive experience into practical skills for those stepping into leadership roles. Over 30 years, I've worked across industries—from finance and healthcare to natural resources—helping leaders develop the leadership acumen needed to lead high-performing, resilient teams. I've always focused on connecting leadership behaviour to measurable business outcomes and witnessed firsthand how the right approach transforms both results and organizational culture. I'm excited to share proven frameworks, tools, and strategies that have helped thousands of leaders worldwide grow with clarity, confidence, and genuine purpose.

SOME QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

  • VALUE FOR MONEY: "US$456 seems expensive for just 3.5 hours of content. Is it worth the price?"

    "While the program is priced at US$456, it delivers far more than just 3.5 hours of content. You’re gaining insights and practical skills that have been refined through years of leadership experience from experts. The downloadable resources also offer continued learning and application beyond the video lessons, making the investment pay dividends over time in your leadership success."

  • DURATION OF CONTENT: "3.5 hours of video doesn't sound like enough time to cover such comprehensive leadership training."

    "Although the course includes 3.5 hours of video content, it’s condensed to respect your time while delivering powerful and focused lessons. The real value comes from the practical exercises, real-world scenarios, and downloadable resources, which will help you immediately apply what you learn. The content is designed to be efficient yet deeply impactful, avoiding fluff while delivering substance."

  • TIME COMMITMENT: "Will I be able to absorb all the content in just 16 video lessons? Will I need more time to fully develop the skills?"

    "The program is designed for busy leaders. The lessons are bite-sized, allowing you to fit them into your schedule without overwhelming you. While the content is concise, it’s structured to ensure you can quickly integrate the knowledge into your leadership role. You can learn at your own pace and revisit the material whenever needed."

  • FORMAT: "Is a conversational podcast style the most effective way to learn leadership skills, or would a more structured approach be better?"

    "The conversational podcast style is meant to make leadership training accessible and engaging without sacrificing depth. Leadership is often learned through shared experiences, and our expert instructors bring their personal stories to life. This approach also helps make the lessons relatable and memorable, driving better retention and application in the real world."

  • REAL-WORLD APPLICABILITY: "How do I know the exercises and scenarios will be relevant to the challenges I face in my specific industry or role?"

    "The exercises and scenarios have been crafted based on real leadership challenges across industries. No matter your sector, the core principles of leadership—emotional engagement, mindset, and practical skills—are universally applicable. You’ll also have downloadable resources that allow you to tailor the lessons to your specific leadership context."

  • ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION: "Will the fun and engaging format make the content too light, leading to a lack of depth in the material?"

    "While the program is fun and engaging, it doesn't compromise on depth. The personal stories shared by the instructors illustrate real challenges they've faced and how they've overcome them, giving you valuable lessons you can directly apply to your leadership journey. The blend of enjoyment and learning ensures that the lessons stick with you."

  • SELF-DISCIPLINE REQUIRED: "Will I have the discipline to go through all the content on my own, without the accountability of a live course or community?"

    "We understand the challenge of self-paced learning, but that’s why we’ve designed the course to be both concise and engaging. The lessons are structured to maintain your interest and momentum, and the practical exercises give you immediate results to keep you motivated. Plus, our downloadable materials serve as tools to help you stay on track and measure your progress."

  • LEARNING STYLE COMPATABILITY: "Will the podcast-style approach work for my learning style? I prefer more hands-on, interactive methods of learning."

    "We’ve found that the conversational podcast style appeals to a wide range of learners by making leadership concepts accessible and relatable. However, if you prefer more hands-on learning, the course includes practical exercises and downloadable resources, which offer you the opportunity to engage actively with the content and customize your learning experience."
