Relational Leadership & People-Centred Change

About collabbWAY

Born from lived experience and built on deep operational insight, collabbWAY brings clarity, connection, and courageous action to complex environments. From leadership development in Geelong and the Barwon South West, to national work in organisational design, change management, and systems change, we create space for leaders and teams to think differently, lead with confidence, and co-create lasting change.

At the heart of collabbWAY is a belief in people’s potential and the understanding that transformation doesn’t come from force or pressured leadership, but from collaboration, trust, and authenticity.

With two decades of experience behind its creation, collabbWAY understands the realities leaders face: self-doubt, stretch, complexity, and pressure to perform. We’ve been there and we’ve designed a way forward that’s practical, powerful, and real.

We work especially closely with middle managers and frontline leaders, the cultural drivers and connectors inside every organisation. Through honest conversation, reflective learning, and practical tools, collabbWAY equips leaders to show up boldly and bravely, in ways others want to follow.

When organisations need clarity through change, leadership that delivers, and collaboration that works, they walk the collabbWAY.

Connect with collabbWAY

collabbWAY exists on the belief that when leaders and teams connect in relational, human ways, culture and performance naturally improve.
When people feel seen, supported, and safe to show up as themselves, they don’t just comply, they contribute.

ARCA+ Professional 1:1 & ALIGN Feedback Model:

Developed by collabbWAY

The ARCA+ Professional 1:1 Framework and ALIGN Feedback Conversation Model, developed by collabbWAY, are practical, structured tools designed to bring consistency, depth, and practical application to reflective supervision or 1:1 meetings across people-centred sectors.

ARCA+ provides a clear and adaptable framework for leaders to support and guide employees in developing their capabilities, mitigate work stress and burnout, and integrate reflection into their everyday practice and work context. Paired with the ALIGN Feedback Model, organisations can create effective conversations that foster psychological safety, alignment, and accountability while supporting employee wellbeing.

We are currently offering partnership opportunities for organisations seeking to test and implement these practical, evidence-informed models, building a reflective, high-performance culture grounded in realistic, people-centred approaches.
