About This Course

Great leadership is about how you show up.

Your tone, reactions, and presence shape how your team thinks, feels, and performs. Under pressure, that impact becomes even more important. Burnout isn’t a weakness, it’s the result of sustained stress, and when leaders are depleted, communication, patience, and connection suffer.

This 2026 course explores the link between mental well-being and leadership effectiveness, and why psychological safety is essential for strong team performance.

Participants will learn how stress and dysregulation influence leadership behaviour, and how to shift toward calm, clear, and connected leadership using simple models and practical tools.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
