GUTSY Culture

We're not here to tell you the basics of leadership. This program is solutions focused and provides the leaders within your business with an opportunity to step back and challenge their thinking. It delivers sustainable and measurable change to align teams and support the growth of your business.

The world is facing some challenging times right now and we're all doing our best to adapt. Leaders are being faced with difficult decisions and sudden changes to their teams and work arrangements. People are working from home for the first time, and juggling new Government guidelines, parenting responsibilities and challenging restrictions. We get it - and we're here to help.

Now more than ever, it's important for your Leadership Team to feel supported and armed with the best knowledge and tactics to deliver outcomes and nurture your culture. So how do you harness your culture's power? The answer lies mainly with you and your leadership team. But knowing how to shape a constructive culture and finding the time to do it are significant challenges for leaders today.

Tactician's Gutsy Culture workshop can help - and it's a great team building exercise in the process.

GUTSY Self

Challenging the stigma of mental health, the personal and group guidance we offer in Gutsy Self will challenge organisational norms and shrinking beliefs.

Gutsy Self is suitable for anyone: leader, team member or teams who are looking to improve the quality of their professional lives.

Building your fitness for what matters.

Mental health affects everyone in some form or another, yet there's still a stigma attached to it - and we're here to quash that. It's time to have healthy conversations about our mental health and challenge the social norms. Our health and wellbeing is, after all, so important - and when we're struggling and not talking about it, the long-term effects can really take their toll.

Gutsy Self is our resilience program. It helps people at all levels to be more effective by becoming more self-aware, managing their mental health and insecurities better, and learning techniques to build resilience at work.

We've adapted it to include the challenges of remote working and other current issues.

Suitable for absolutely anyone, the Gutsy Self program looks at your fitness in seven areas that impact both your personal and professional life.

GUTSY Influencing

Suitable for anyone who doesn’t want to be walked all over and deliver nothing.

Practical skills to get your message across clearly, persuasively and constructively, negotiate with the best of them and come to mutually beneficial agreements.

It's time to take control of the conversation.

We know that influential people have two things in common:

  1. They've learned the skills and tactics to build compelling propositions, understand their audience and handle objections, and (most importantly)
  2. They had the guts to confront their fears and build their confidence by taking action.

Our Gutsy Influencing program will give you simple tactics that can be applied immediately and you'll get results in your interactions the very next day.

GUTSY Presenting

For the high-stakes communicators, who need to creatively and persuasively present their case, or for those who are just plain terrified of getting up and speaking in front of a group.

The guidance will begin from your very first introduction and you’ll leave a different presenter than you came.

Guaranteed.

Being a capable presenter is a learnt skill.

To learn how to develop and deliver a great presentation, you'll need the right guidance. Someone who'll challenge you and build your confidence. And finally, you need a safe environment to learn. Because it's going to get messy before the magic happens!

We've created one of the most powerful presentation skills programs that delivers just that - Gutsy Presenting.

Even GUTSIER Presenting

Building on from where Gutsy Presenting left off, we'll focus on the art of stagecraft and the use of emotion to lift your presentations from effective to inspirational.

Walk away with the ability to take charge of and positively influence your audience.

You've got a message that you're eager to share with others - perhaps it's your team's roadmap for the future, your organisation's vision or something very close to your heart like inspiring social change.

You want others to be as excited about your cause as you are. In fact, you want to enlist their help in making this change happen.

When you present your message, you look into the audience and notice a sea of blank faces - along with the odd person "catching up on emails" on their smartphone.

Are they not seeing the big picture? Where is the excitement in the room?

That's when the fear sets in and the realisation that perhaps you're standing alone in your vision.

You need to pull some real pizzaz to build an emotional connection with the room.

Tactician have created one of the most powerful advanced presentation skills programs - Even Gutsier Presenting - for those who are dedicated to moving from being a great presenter to an inspirational one.

GUTSY Leadership

Not your average leadership program. Designed for those who really want to be courageous, to create great teams and enviable cultures. This gets to the guts of leadership and tackles the areas most leaders struggle with and often avoid.

It's time to relook at our approach to leadership.

Let’s face it. Leadership development over the last decade has missed the mark. Ourselves included.

So much of the focus has been on methodologies and frameworks that we've somehow missed the true essence of leadership - i.e. how to create a team of decent people that all support each other and are also really good at getting the job done. You know, all that basic human stuff that we seem to forget when the pressure is on.

If these core elements aren't addressed, leadership development will be superficial at best. If there is no trust and respect, for example, you can kiss all those conversation skills you’ve learnt goodbye. You’re wasting your time.

Tactician's Gutsy Leadership gets to the true essence of what it means to be a modern leader.

"I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. The sessions were candid and direct, and afforded the opportunity to be self-reflective. Tactician’s style challenges you in a positive and constructive manner."

Client Manager

I really enjoyed the session and felt empowered today to test a few techniques in my team meeting.

Caroline B, Qld Govt

"The difference in the way I approached my work after a handful of sessions with my Tactician is a credit to his skills and insight."

My Personal Tactician Member

ANZ Community Business

"The Gutsy Pitching program was fantastic. The theory was helpful to reframe how I thought about pitching, and the practice sessions were fantastic at helping me to refine the art of pitching. The masterclass helped me to notice ways to improve all the small elements from the way I spoke to my presence in the room."

Luke Freeman

Macquarie Incubator

Tactician's Leadership & Culture program is one of the most interesting training programs I have ever been through.  It has given me tools to become more effective in every area of life whilst reducing stress and improving relationships across the board.  I would recommend it to any company that understands the value of good culture in an organisation!"

Ben Holt

Greenline

"I would highly recommend the Gutsy Culture program, it takes all the fluff and bubble out of "culture". As a team we've got a much tighter grip on what a great team culture really looks like and are on the right track now to implementing some actionable steps. I've personally gained a lot out of the program; the direct feedback received from the surveys and the A-grade coaching has really helped me. I've also seen our team grow a lot under this program, everyone is pulling towards a common goal and taking on more leadership responsibilities. An accurate measure for me if a coaching program is worth it, is how the team responds, and the response has been fantastic! Thanks again."

Tony Cartwright

Utemaster

"I am always one to be a little nervous and hesitant from that coming into situations and workshops where I have to open up and expose myself. Even if was still a little shaken from pushing myself, I felt so much better off for facing that fear and a lot more confident in myself, not just pitching."

Senior Manager

FDC Construction and Fitout

"Rod’s mastery of the art of presenting was evident both in the delivery of the workshop and tactful tutelage of participants."

Senior Leader

Queensland Government

"I found the Gutsy Presenting program both challenging in terms of looking within and how I communicate (the video doesn’t lie) and rewarding in terms of my learnings."

Senior Project Manager

Queensland Government

"I just wanted to share how much of an impact the program had on me. It really was probably the most impressionable professional development course I have done, and I have your techniques constantly on my mind."

Senior Manager

Queensland Government

"I had the pleasure of engaging in a coaching relationship over the past 12 months and cannot speak highly enough of the experience. The sessions were candid and direct whilst at the same time afforded the opportunity to be self-reflective, my Tactician’s style challenges you in a positive and constructive manner."
