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 parliamentary and corporate leadership best practice.
Facilitators create a safe and trusting environment for a transformational experience. To enable open learning, 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.

Testimonials
“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.”
“The program is one of the only fully inclusive and transformative programs I am aware of. It teaches real skills needed to navigate the complex workplace that parliament is and the many complexities of the role of a parliamentarian. It provides life-changing, practical skills.”
“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.”
“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.”
“A fantastic opportunity to see yourself in a new light which enables you to think differently about the decisions that need to be made.”
“This course provides a rare opportunity to remind yourself why you are in parliament, in a neutral context.”
