Leadership Emotional Agility Program

A one-day professional development program ideal for leaders and emerging leaders who want to upskill themselves and their teams in emotional agility, adaptability, and reflective leadership.

People who join this program come together to share wise practices and lived insights about what it means to lead with awareness, composure, and integrity in changing times. Through practical tools and shared reflection, participants explore how to navigate complex emotions, manage reactivity, and bring more authenticity, balance, and flexibility to their leadership — and their lives.

Developed and facilitated by Andy Roberts, founder of Breathe Australia, this program draws on over 18 years of experience in leadership and emotional agility training. Andy trained directly with Dr Susan David, world expert and author of Emotional Agility, and has been MSCEIT-accredited for emotional intelligence assessment for 18 years.

Andy has delivered individual and group programs across sectors including government, environment, and mining, working onsite and remotely with teams at all levels. His work with South32’s Mine Site Leadership Program demonstrated how emotional agility can strengthen team connection, reduce conflict, and build more adaptive, human-centred leaders in demanding environments.

At its core, the Leadership Emotional Agility Program equips people with evidence-based strategies to:

• Recognise and navigate difficult emotions without being overwhelmed or reactive
• Build psychological flexibility and stay grounded in values during uncertainty
• Communicate with clarity and composure, even in challenging conversations
• Strengthen focus and presence, supporting better decisions under pressure
• Create authentic, adaptive cultures where people can learn, grow and perform

Practical, Evidence-Based and Immediately Applicable

Participants leave the program with tools they can apply right away — personally and professionally. The approach blends neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and real-world leadership experience to create lasting shifts in mindset, focus, and connection.
