Practitioner Academy

Virtual Events take place starting June 4th through to October 15th 2025

See below for up-coming dates and prices

The Pioneer & The Liberator

The next in our Visionary Series is our Practitioner Academy, where you can become accredited in one or both of our award-winning programmes, The Pioneer and The Liberator.

Step 1 is The Pioneer … which is all about developing yourself.

You deepen your Self-Awareness, your Personal Power, Emotional Intelligence, Negotiating Style, and a range of other skills needed to transform your life and career.

Delivered over 6 x 2hr weekly online sessions

Commencing June 4th 2025

Step 2 is The Liberator … which is all about developing others.

You learn The Mindset, Process and Skills adopted by the highest performing leaders of people, enabling massive performance improvements and highly engaged, productive teams.

Delivered over 6 x 2hr weekly online sessions

Commencing September 10th 2025

By becoming accredited in the programmes, you will be licensed to deliver them to your clients or internal staff. And you will become part of our supportive, engaged Global Practitioner Community.

What’s included?

Each programme comes with an Amazon best-selling paperback book, with becomes the course manual, plus handouts, practitioner guide and a set of powerful online questionnaires.

The online questionnaires add significant weight, as they help individuals and leaders assess their current state, at each stage of the process, and understand how to adapt their style for increased effectiveness.

Leaders and teams love these questionnaires, because they make sense and they can see where to make changes in their style. Some of the questionnaires can also be used for powerful 360 feedback.

And once Accredited, what happens?

You will ….

  • have access to these online questionnaires for your clients or internal staff, by signing up to one of our Practitioner Packages. We have a Package to suit all – and you will know which package is right for you.

  • be given an option to customize the questionnaires and book covers to reflect your own branding, which our Practitioners love. It helps build confidence, credibility and attraction.

  • be invited into the Community Portal where all your resources can be found: Practitioner presentations, handouts, helpful video interviews and connect with and learn from other Practitioners

  • be qualified to sign up for our CPD and other exciting Practitioner events – which are held throughout the year.

You will love this end-to-end process which leaves nothing to chance. It helps bring greater success for you, your clients and people.

For returning Practitioners:

If you would like to experience the flow of the new programmes and have a refresh of the models, we have a special price to cover your new book, practitioner guide, updated handouts and questionnaires. Also, you will experience the in-built 1:1 coaching and reflective learning – which wasn’t available previously.

This will help build your confidence, knowledge, passion and success.

Step 1 – The Pioneer: £575 + VAT // Step 2 – The Liberator: £575 + VAT

If you sign up for Steps 1 & 2 at the outset, the combined cost reduces to £805 + VAT

[Squishy: as a general rule, for statements like this, please put on one line or spread more evenly over two lines – having ‘VAT’ on its own on a line doesn’t look great!]

If you are accredited in one programme but not the other, please talk to us, so that we can advise accordingly:
