Leadership Training and Coaching in Brisbane

Many leadership training programs are delivered by companies that have never managed people in a real business. The content is generic, the delivery is standardised, and the practical application is left to the participant to figure out.

Brookvale HR Solutions delivers leadership training, management workshops, and executive coaching for Brisbane businesses. Daniel designs and facilitates every session personally, built on live employment-law cases and real workplace situations rather than slide decks from a training company.

Manager and team leader training

Training Sessions for Managers and Team Leaders

Group-based training sessions for managers, supervisors, and team leaders, developed for your organisation rather than delivered from a generic slide deck. Each session typically runs for two to three hours and is designed to build practical leadership skills that managers can apply immediately. Topics include:

  • Performance management conversations
  • Managing underperformance
  • Having difficult conversations
  • Psychosocial safety obligations for managers
  • Bullying and harassment prevention
  • Managing remote and hybrid teams
  • New manager foundations
  • Emotional intelligence in leadership
  • Building team performance

The most common gap I see is businesses with policies on paper but no manager training on how to implement them. A bullying and harassment policy is worthless if the manager receiving a complaint does not know the right response in the first 24 hours. Brookvale HR Solutions training is designed to bridge that gap with practical tools managers can apply immediately.

Sessions are delivered onsite at your workplace or via video for distributed teams. Daniel provides supporting materials, frameworks, and follow-up resources after each session. Multi-session programs are facilitated by Daniel from session 1 through session 8. That continuity is how managers actually change behaviour.

Executive coaching

Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders

Where group training builds baseline management capability, executive coaching works one-on-one with leaders facing specific challenges.

Staff turnover dropped from four departures in six months to one in the following twelve.

Executive coaching is a one-on-one engagement focused on individual leadership development for senior leaders, executives, and business owners. Unlike group training sessions, coaching is ongoing, personalised, and structured around the leader's specific objectives. Coaching sessions with Daniel cover:

  • Strategic thinking
  • Leadership style and self-awareness
  • Communication skills and critical thinking
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Managing growth and team development
  • Building organisational resilience

The focus is on achieving high performance as a leader, not just managing day-to-day productivity. Sessions are conducted in person in Brisbane or via video, with engagement length tailored to the leader's objectives.

Daniel brings the same depth of HR and operational experience to coaching that underpins every Brookvale HR Solutions engagement. Coaching is not motivational speaking or generic leadership theory. It is structured, commercially focused, and grounded in the realities of managing people in Australian workplaces. Executive coaching is scoped at $2,000 per session, with two to four-month engagements typical (4 to 8 sessions depending on cadence). Total engagement cost is agreed before commencement. Engagements typically run with fortnightly or monthly sessions depending on the leader's availability and objectives. Learn more about Daniel's background and qualifications on the About page.

Compliance training is not optional

Untrained managers equal regulatory exposure.

Training starts at $2,000 per session. Book a scoping call with Daniel via Calendly, or call 1300 23 44 23.
Compliance-linked training

Training That's Now a Compliance Requirement

Ask an employer when their managers last trained on psychosocial safety. The answer is usually "a half-day course three years ago that nobody remembers." That is not compliance. Psychosocial safety and positive duty obligations require training that is current, documented, and specific to the obligations your managers are expected to meet.

Many leadership training obligations are now tied directly to legislation.

  • Psychosocial Safety
    Psychosocial safety awareness is linked to WHS codes of practice via Safe Work Australia.
  • Positive Duty
    Positive duty obligations and sexual harassment prevention require proactive steps including training under the Australian Human Rights Commission framework.
  • Bullying & Right to Disconnect
    Workplace bullying prevention and Right to Disconnect awareness apply to many Australian businesses.

These are not optional sessions, and Daniel delivers them with the authority of someone who advises employers on these obligations every day.

For detailed guidance on psychosocial safety, positive duty, and other workplace compliance obligations, visit the Brookvale HR Solutions blog and compliance tools.

How to get started

How to Get Started

The Training Needs Assessment is an interactive, email-gated tool that delivers a tailored recommendation. Complete it for a written recommendation to share with stakeholders, or book a scoping call with Daniel directly via Calendly. For decision-ready visitors with a compliance deadline, the scoping call gets to recommendations inside 30 minutes.

From there, Daniel proposes a tailored program with recommended topics, session structure, and timeline. There is no obligation, and no generic proposal. Every recommendation is shaped by what Daniel identifies during the conversation. The businesses that get the best results connect training to a real situation in their workplace, which is why the first question Daniel always asks is what situations managers have struggled with in the last six months.

How is Brookvale HR Solutions's leadership training course different from off-the-shelf programs?

Every training course is developed by Daniel Holbrook specifically for the organisation. Course content is tailored to the industry, the experience level of participants, and the challenges the business is currently facing. There is no generic slide deck or standardised curriculum. Daniel designs, facilitates, and delivers every session personally, drawing on experience across dozens of industries to build leadership courses in Brisbane that address real workplace challenges.

Is leadership training a legal requirement in Australia?

Specific training obligations exist under WHS legislation (psychosocial safety awareness for managers), the Sex Discrimination Act (positive duty obligations including training on prevention of sexual harassment), and general workplace health and safety duties. Employers who do not train managers on these obligations are exposed to regulatory and legal liability. General leadership development is not legislatively mandated, but compliance-linked training topics are effectively required for Australian employers.

How long does a leadership training course typically take?

Individual training courses run for two to three hours per session. Many businesses engage Brookvale HR Solutions for a bundle of four or eight sessions delivered over a period of weeks or months, depending on scheduling and topic coverage. Executive coaching engagements typically run for two to four months with fortnightly or monthly sessions. Daniel works with the business to determine the right course structure and pace.

Can training courses be delivered across Brisbane and remotely?

Yes. Training courses and executive coaching can be delivered in person across Brisbane or via video for businesses located outside Brisbane or with distributed teams across Australia. The content, structure, and facilitation quality are the same regardless of delivery format. Daniel provides leadership training courses for organisations of all sizes, whether onsite at your workplace or through interactive video sessions.

What does leadership training cost?

Individual training courses are $2,000 per session. A 4-session bundle is $7,000 ($1,750 per session), and an 8-session bundle is $12,000 ($1,500 per session). Executive coaching is $2,000 per session, with 4 to 8 sessions typical across a two- to four-month engagement. All pricing is fixed and includes preparation, materials, and facilitation. There are no hidden charges. View the full breakdown on the Products and Pricing page.
