2-Day Masterclass · Melbourne
Lead through complexity without losing yourself in it.
Confidence in leadership is dropping, not rising — even among the most capable people in the room. This is two days to close the gap between the leader you're being asked to be and the one you actually trust yourself to be, using the framework from The Map Gap.

Most leadership training gives you more theory. This gives you a working map.
Why this, why now
Recent research on women in leadership across Australia is blunt: confidence has fallen, and a growing share of capable people are opting out of leadership altogether — not from lack of ability, but because the return has stopped feeling worth it. That's not a mindset problem you fix with a motivational keynote. It's a mapping problem. This masterclass teaches the same framework from Ami Cook's book The Map Gap: the tools to see clearly where your read on a situation has drifted from what's actually happening, and to act from a position you've chosen rather than one you've defaulted into.
The Framework
The Meaning Making Model®
Every leadership decision runs through the same six-stage process, most of it unconscious. We slow it down and put it in your hands.
01
Stimulus
What actually happened — event before you added anything to it.
02
Selection
What you noticed, and — just as tellingly — what you filtered out.
03
Interpretation
The meaning you assigned, often in under a second.
04
Conclusion
The story you built from that meaning.
05
Position
The stance you took as a result — chosen, or defaulted into.
06
State & Response
How you showed up, and what you did next.
Two Days
The agenda
Day One
Building Awareness
See your own Map Gap — where your read on people and situations has quietly drifted from reality.
Focusing Attention
Learn the 4D Scan and Framing tools to direct your attention on purpose, not by habit.
Cultivating Accountability
Own your part in the gap, without collapsing into blame — of yourself or anyone else.
Day Two
Developing Agility
Practise the Alignment Process — Accept, Appreciate, Act — on real situations from your own leadership.
Empowering Actualisation
Turn insight into a decision you'll actually carry back into the room on Monday.
Inspiring Artistry
Build your own version of the toolkit — the one you'll keep using long after the two days end.
