Most people spend years learning maths, reading and writing, but very little time learning how people work. Yet understanding people is one of the things we use most often in everyday life.

Every friendship, disagreement, group project, sporting team, classroom discussion and family conversation depends on it. Leadership Launch gives students the chance to explore these ideas in practice.

Over two highly interactive days, students participate in activities, games, challenges, discussions, roleplays and team experiences designed to place them right in the middle of the action.

Because the better we understand people, situations and ourselves, the more choices we have in how we show up in the world. 

Have you ever noticed:

Why does that happen? What are they doing differently?
Can those skills actually be learned?

The answer is 'yes'.

And that's exactly what Leadership Launch explores.

Most leadership programs focus on telling students what good leaders do. And they're often taught in short presentations, where the students passively listen. 

At Leadership League, we're interested in helping students understand what's happening underneath - why people behave the way they do, how groups form, how influence works, why communication succeeds or fails. We help them learn how confidence is created and how misunderstandings happen. We help them consider what makes people trust, cooperate, contribute, resist, connect or disengage.

And where we're different is that we get them doing and experiencing so they can develop their expressive skills in real terms. 

Along the way, students begin to discover something important:

There isn't one fixed way to be, but there are rules, patterns and laws of communicating that can help to guide the way.

Different situations call for different responses. The way you speak to a friend isn't necessarily the way you speak to a teacher. The way you contribute to a team isn't necessarily the way you handle a disagreement. The most effective people aren't always the loudest, funniest, smartest or most confident. They're often the people who can read what's happening around them and know how to adapt.

That's one of the central ideas we explore at Leadership League, and we give them the key to mastering this kind of dynamism.

Parents often tell us they want their children to:

Leadership Launch develops these skills through experience. Students don't spend two days listening to principles and theory. They learn by participating, trying, observing, experimenting, making mistakes, reflecting, and by trying again. 

Parents also tell us that they:
