The PD Training (PDT) Leadership Development Training course in New Zealand is a practical course that provides participants with an impactful learning journey that develops insight and skills to develop as a leader, and teaches functional management skills that are core competencies needed by people in leadership roles.

The PDT Leadership Development Program utilises a system of activities that has been scientifically proven to provide leaders with improved levels of agility, resiliance and improved communication skills.

In this dynamic, 2-day professional development program, you'll learn how to become an effective leader who is self-aware, builds trust, and can inspire a high performing team. You'll also learn management skills such as problem solving, decision making, giving feedback and performance management.

During this Leadership Development course you will complete the REACH Personality Profiling tool, which will provide you with insight into your preferred communication style and how best to communicate with others. This newly found awareness will empower you with the ability to connect better with others and can provide you with an improved level of interpersonal communication and leadership skills.


This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences, and provides participants with tools they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.


There are no prerequisites for this course.

The PD Training Leadership Development Training Program in New Zealand has been highly praised by our business clients as providing the essential skills required to be a talented leader are presented in a format that is both informative and empowering at the same time.

Through patience, persistence and hard work, anyone can become a highly effective leader. The responsibility is on you to implement the strategies taught in this course and to identify and correct changes in certain behaviours which may be quite difficult. The skills required to be a great team player are not always the same skills required to effectively lead the team. This is why Executive Leadership Development is so highly sought after by most successful companies.

The primary role of a leader also requires a thorough understanding of the team’s needs, aspirations and concerns, so it is important to have excellent listening and facilitation skills as well as highly developed abilities to coach and mentor others. This Leadership and Influencing Skills Training Program will teach you that effective leadership starts with a thorough understanding of oneself, which then allows you to support and lead others towards stated organisational goals.
