Leadership Community
Relationships Matter
RelateFirst™ helps people develop the relational, emotional and leadership capacities to live, work and lead well.
Our definition
Leadership is relational before it is positional.
Leadership is the capacity to influence ourselves, our relationships and the environments for which we carry responsibility.
That means leadership is not reserved for titles or organisations. It is exercised by a parent at bedtime, a friend in a hard conversation, a manager under pressure and a volunteer in the community.
The framework
Five pillars of relational leadership
Every RelateFirst™ programme develops one or more of these five capacities.
Lead Family
Strengthen the relationships and leadership practices that shape family life.
Lead Relationships
Learn to build relationships characterised by safety, respect, connection and healthy communication.
Lead Work
Lead people and organisations with relational intelligence, clarity and responsibility.
Lead Community
Use your influence to strengthen others and contribute positively to your community.
