Relational Leadership & People-Centred Change

Lead Your Way With collabbWAY

From leadership development across Geelong and the Barwon South West, to national work in organisational design, systems and change, collabbWAY creates the space for leaders and teams to think differently, build real confidence, and shape impact that actually sticks.

Leadership isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. At collabbWAY, we work alongside you, blending evidence, lived experience and practical tools to support ways of leading that make sense for your context, culture and purpose. You know your world best, and that knowledge is at the forefront of everything we design with you.

We co-create practical, people-centred services that meet you where you’re at and grow with you over time. Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time, strengthening the heartbeat of your team, or steering through complex organisational change, we help you lead with clarity, courage and steady intention.

It’s leadership that’s real, relational and built to last.

Leading your way doesn’t mean doing it alone; it means having the right frameworks, tools, and support to lead with intention and make change sustainable. This is how we lead the collabbWAY.

We help you:

  • Strengthen individual and collective leadership capabilities, from emerging leaders to senior management teams, by developing confidence, self-awareness, and influence.

  • Provide 1:1 leadership coaching that supports leaders to reflect, build confidence, and create practical strategies for growth, performance, and wellbeing.

  • A full suite of leadership practices you can tailor to your organisation. The I2A Leadership Method is a behaviour-driven leadership approach.

  • Deliver leadership training workshops that build the skills and mindset needed for today's leadership, from feedback and communication, developing relational people management skills, to change and culture.

  • Lead change with focus and engagement, supporting employees through transitions with people-centred approaches.

  • Build confident leaders who can have the hard conversations, provide feedback, and balance performance with genuine care.

Here’s the new way to lead in modern workplaces - The Relational Leadership Micro-Skills Method

Where connection becomes leadership practice.

Why 1:1 Leadership Coaching?

Leadership is personal. It’s not just about managing others; it’s about understanding yourself, how you lead, and the impact you have on those around you. At collabbWAY, our 1:1 leadership coaching provides leaders with the time and space to reflect, build confidence, and cultivate the habits that foster lasting change. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, leading through complexity, or simply ready to grow, coaching helps you find your direction and lead intentionally and together.

Our approach combines evidence-based frameworks, such as the Life Styles Inventory (LSI 1 & 2), with a relational coaching style that addresses today's challenges. Every session is designed around your goals — practical, reflective, and grounded in your everyday leadership context.

Through coaching, we help you:

  • Build confidence and self-awareness as a leader

  • Strengthen communication and feedback skills

  • Navigate conflict and lead through change
    Clarify priorities and make confident decisions

  • Create calm and consistency in how you lead.

We also offer specialised coaching for women returning from parental leave, supporting their transition back to leadership with confidence, balance, and clarity of purpose.

1:1 coaching, the collabbWAY isn’t about quick fixes or generic models. It’s about building the insight, confidence, and capability to lead your way with intention and impact.

Leadership Assessment

Leadership and Team Development with LSI

Human Synergistics - Life Styles Inventory (LSI)

Unlock growth at every level — individual, team, and culture.
At collabbWAY, we utilise the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) to help leaders and teams gain a clearer understanding of themselves, build on their strengths, and shift patterns that hold them back.

LSI 1 – Self-Insight for Leaders

LSI 1 is a self-assessment that helps leaders understand their thinking and behavioural styles. It shines a light on how intentions drive actions and where growth can unlock new impact.
- Build awareness of personal leadership patterns.
- Identify strengths and opportunities for change.
- Create a practical development pathway.

LSI 2 – Feedback that Fuels Growth

LSI 2 complements LSI 1 by gathering feedback from colleagues and direct reports. It bridges the gap between how you see yourself and how others experience your leadership.
- Gain a 360° view of your leadership impact.
- Turn feedback into actionable growth steps.
- Strengthen trust, credibility, and influence.

LSI Group – Team Development

Teams don’t just perform, they also form patterns. LSI Group brings team members’ styles together into a shared map, showing how the group’s behaviours shape performance.
- Make invisible team dynamics visible.
- Improve collaboration and communication.
- Build accountability and shared direction.

Culture Building with LSI

When individual and team insights come together, they create the foundation for culture change. With LSI, we help organisations shift from reactive habits to constructive cultures.
- Align leadership behaviours with organisational values.
- Strengthen psychological safety and trust.
- Build a culture where performance and wellbeing thrive side by side.

Supporting Leaders & Aspiring Leaders Returning from Parental Leave and Those Balancing Work & Family Life

Step Back. Lean Forward.

At collabbWAY, we support women and parents returning from parental leave, as well as those already balancing work and family, in rediscovering their confidence as leaders.

We know returning to work isn’t just about picking up where you left off. It’s a new season of leadership, often marked by competing priorities, high expectations, and the constant juggle of work and home life.

Why collabbWAY

collabbWAY is a leadership platform for people and organisations ready to lead differently, with boldness, bravery and a practical commitment to collaboration that creates real impact.

We’re here to shift the way leadership is experienced, not just learned. Because in today’s workplaces, managing people and change without clarity, connection, or confidence doesn’t hold.

We need leaders who can set direction, listen deeply, navigate complexity, and co-create outcomes with their teams.

At collabbWAY, bold leadership means making clear decisions, holding space in uncomfortable situations, and staying grounded in purpose. Brave collaboration means creating environments where honest conversations occur, trust is built, and people, not just processes, are at the centre of the work.

Through coaching, capability building, facilitation and service design, collabbWAY brings a grounded, people-centred approach to the everyday realities of leadership, in teams, in services, and across systems.
