Coaching & training
As a technical leader, you know your craft from a technical perspective but what about all the other aspects of leadership? You're likely facing challenges related to stakeholder management, peer communication, team engagement, and strategic thinking. These are all critical skills for successful leadership as it involves navigating a whole range of important relationships and conversations. However, many leaders lack the support they need to develop these skills to become more self-aware and skilled leaders.
We help you break down any leadership barriers you may be facing. Whether you're looking to improve your stakeholder relationships, strengthen peer communication, or develop a more effective leadership style, we have the tools and resources you need to succeed. We provide expert guidance and support to help you grow your authentic leadership style. We understand that becoming an effective leader requires a combination of technical knowledge, people skills, systemic thinking, and longer-term vision.

Workshops
Delivering highly-effective, proven, in-demand training experiences with hands-on practice for everyday application
Blackmill training is the first time that I've undertaken formal leadership training in my career, and it blew me away in terms of the breadth, depth, and quality of the content that was covered in such a short space of time. It brought together all of the key points, tools, ideas, and mindsets that I had slowly experienced over the years, as well as introducing me to new frameworks and tools that will greatly enhance my leadership abilities. Elle and Lachlan facilitated the sessions in a guided insightful fashion that drew out excellent conversations, perspectives and insights from our cohort.
This workshop provides new leaders with the mindset, insights, and a practical toolkit to kick start their leadership journey with confidence, insightfulness, and empathy. For experienced leaders it provides a valuable overview of leadership, and plugs gaps that may exist or have formed in their leadership style. Reminding them of areas they may be neglecting and giving them insights they might not have had. It provides everyone with a modern well researched toolkit to act immediately with.
