Next25 Leadership is a proven, impactful, and time-optimised course developed exclusively for parliamentarians.
Delivered in partnership with Corporate Evolution, a world leader in values-based culture and leadership consulting, this innovative and challenging course draws on international best practice from parliamentary and corporate leadership programs.
Facilitators create a safe and trusting environment for a transformational experience. To create an open learning environment, the course is held under the strictest confidentiality.
By uncovering and deeply understanding their values, we help parliamentarians to understand their power, not only as individuals in the system, but as individuals who can improve the system. Through Next25 Leadership, they become more empowered, effective, courageous, inspirational, and authentic leaders, representatives, and parliamentarians.
Why participate?
Next25 Leadership was designed with input from parliamentarians. It is based on the latest leadership research and values-based methodology and is delivered by facilitators with 30 years of industry experience.
This exclusive course for parliamentarians of all political parties will strengthen participants’ capability to respond to the challenges of the 21st century, hone their leadership style, and expand their influence through the exploration of values and purpose.

Please see our course offerings for 2024 below. Our courses will be delivered in-person and online to provide as much flexibility as possible. Our experience during 2020/21 showed that the online format allows for just as much engagement and learning as the in-person program.

Testimonials
“There are very few leadership programs directly targeted for MPs. I found this extremely beneficial in enhancing my awareness and guiding me to confidence to be the leader I know I can be and have a positive impact on my State.”
“I’ve never attended a course where there was such willingness to share openly with colleagues from across party lines and State lines, as well as by facilitators.”
“An engaging and challenging course that stimulated deep thought and meaningful change. Highly recommend for anyone seeking to enhance leadership skills – but also for personal development.”
“A fantastic opportunity to see yourself in a new light which enables you to think differently about the decisions that need to be made.”
“It was an insightful course that challenged and inspired me. It has equipped me with some high level deeper theories about my leadership style as well as practical tools to support me to become a better leader. Thank you.”
“Other development programs examine an MP’s relationship with others around them, whereas this course looks at how MPs can improve themselves to make them better at their jobs. I found it extremely useful and would recommend it to any MP.”
