Why Leadership Development ...

Then this site offers something a little different because it brings you the self-leadership side of leadership development. Everything on this site will boost your personal growth and effectiveness.
My name is Ross Judd and I’m the author of Listening. As a leadership coach, trainer, and facilitator for over 30 years I’ve seen the profound impact that the concepts we teach in leadership workshops can have on people’s lives. Time and again, I’ve seen people turn our leadership development insights into self-help and personal growth. I’ve heard great stories about how people have applied these ideas at home with their families and achieved remarkable personal development. Their stories of transformation have been exciting and inspiring.
It’s those experiences of self-leadership that have fuelled my passion for working in this field and inspired this site.
Whether you’re navigating difficult conversations or striving to enhance your personal development, you’ll find these ideas simple, practical, and easy to apply. They’ve been meticulously tested and refined for over 30 years in workshops and one-on-one coaching. I know they work.

“In a way this is like a textbook of what I teach to my Registrars. It’s well thought-out, organised, and researched. It’s a book you can, and should, go back to repeatedly!” Dr Manjul Agarwal, MBBS, FRACGP
Listening
Listening is a great example of how you can benefit from the concepts we teach in leadership development workshops. It was developed through decades of experience teaching people to listen more effectively as leaders and colleagues.
That experience was poured into a book that will help you support the people you love when they are feeling vulnerable, worried, upset, or even scared.
