Rising Leaders
Organisations face three challenges in regard to this:
How to attract great people;
How to keep great people; and
How to grow your people so they become great.
Answering this requires an understanding of three principles:
Not all leaders look the same;
Everyone has an inherent ability to lead; and Strengths and abilities can be developed and accelerated with the right support and empowerment.
A reimagination of leadership is essential to solving 21st Century challenges. Leadership is not positional. It should not look and sound a certain way.
This is why Rising Leaders was developed.
Imagine your organisation full of people who bring their energy, their heart, and their smarts to solve important problems and make things better. People leading with authenticity, vision, responsibility and meaning.
For business to remain relevant, attractive, and profitable, it is essential for this type of leadership to arise in as many people as possible.
Rising Leaders is an online learning experience to achieve this.
It is for organisations and people hungry to evolve their ability to lead with impact. Created and delivered by Cathy Burke, Rising Leaders empowers present and emerging leaders to take action in the most effective way possible. It provides an environment for individuals to become aware of their mindsets, create a vision of what type of leader they could be, learn how to express this, and channel this understanding into powerful, effective action.

”“Rising Leaders champions talent, challenges assumptions and expands potential in organisations. In today's war on talent, particularly in mid-senior management - nothing retains people more than opportunities like Rising. Rising guides you through challenges and encourages meaningful growth.”
Angela Walsh, Talent and Inclusion, Beam Australia
Why Rising Leaders?
”"Rising has been an absolute game-changer for the way I lead and the challenges I take on. I now put myself forward for opportunities I would have waited another few years to even consider. In doing so, I have accomplished and excelled at the task at hand. I learned it wasn’t a lack of the technical skills, but rather it was leadership skills I was missing, which through working with Cathy in Rising I now have."
Georgina Davies
”“Cathy has been instrumental in implementing a mindset change across my Leadership Team. Her on-on-one mentoring lifted our executives to a new level of confidence and effectiveness. We continue to work with Cathy to help guide us through this mindset journey for our next level leaders."
Nick Nairn, CEO, Stuart Alexander
The Rising Leaders Program
Rising Leaders is an online learning program, typically delivered over 4-6 months.
Rising Leaders is grounded in real world experience. It breaks down old ideas on what leadership looks like, and empowers people to design and step into their unique leadership abilities. It elevates courageous and innovative action for the people who participate.
Rising Leaders is a proven and practical pathway for your people to rise and fulfil their potential. It is based on the 9 Steps Cathy Burke observed in her work at The Hunger Project, and wrote about in her book Unlikely Leaders: Lessons in Leadership from the Village Classroom.
These 9 steps have been successfully adapted for organisations worldwide. Which makes sense. At the core of this approach is a fundamental belief in the leadership humans bring when empowered – despite the circumstances.
In these times of mass disruption and uncertain futures, organisations still need to fulfill their mission. Rising Leaders gives you the ability to bring more people forward to do just that.
