Leaders often face immense pressure. Store management teams are responsible for hitting KPIs, hiring and training the right people, and maintaining high standards both front and back of the house. They also need to deliver a consistent customer experience, all while ensuring compliance and inspiring visuals.
​
With so much on their plate, it’s easy for management to fall into patterns of silent, aggressive, or passive leadership.
​
Now, imagine a leader who is mindful—someone who observes, listens, and recognizes when support or further development is needed, both in others and in themselves. This is the essence of self-leadership, a journey that requires daily practice. It’s not something you can master overnight; it’s a lifelong commitment to growth.
​
In my workshops, we explore why embracing discomfort is essential for leadership growth. Growth only happens when we step outside our comfort zones, and that change always begins with us.
Soft skills training is key to unlocking your team’s full potential and empowering them to be their best.
When leaders operate with mindfulness and confidence, the entire team benefits, as do your customers.
Our Leaders Who Inspire Change Workshop with The International Retail Academy is a transformational workshop designed to peel back the layers of your current or future leaders. In an industry with high turnover rates, it’s crucial to champion talent and provide ongoing personal development.
​
Soft skills are vital for relationship management, handling conflict, inspiring change, and keeping teams focused on their objectives. Our soft skills development workshop will help your leaders move from self-doubt to self-mastery, accelerating their impact in Retail or Corporate environments.
Workshop
Overview​
Activity 1​
Brainfog to Brainfab
Team Bluesky Session
​
​
Emotions are simply energy in motion
Feeling happy? You probably move lighter on your feet!
Feeling nervous? You probably tiptoe around, not drawing attention to yourself
We explore the cause/effect of the most common daily emotions and how this totally dictates the rhythm of the day.
If the leader is feeling frustrated and angry - guess what happens to the team.
Activity 2
Triggers: Self-Discovery and unpeeling the layers of self destruction
​
This activity will get everyone thinking on a very deep-level about who they are and how they lead.
In order to grow, we must reveal the truth of our own subconscious - as this controls everything.
​
Awareness of leaders direct influence and impact onto team and customers.
Activity 3​
Owning your new - self
​
Writing down the new and improved version of yourself.
How do you show strength and compassion.
​
How will the team feel about this new leader.
The more we visualise and imagine the future successful mindful leader, the closer we become to actually being it!

Our full-day soft skills workshop combines individual and group work, allowing leaders to experience the impact of both good and bad leadership. Through statistics and anonymous case studies, they’ll see how their actions and words carry real power.
Leaders will learn to use their influence for the team’s benefit and recognize when they’re acting out of frustration versus service. Self-awareness, while challenging, is the most rewarding gift for both themselves and their teams.
If your team has previously completed a personality (DISC) workshop but saw little change, this workshop will provide the strategy and skills needed to truly level up in their roles.
We focus on enhancing active listening, mindful leadership, and emotional intelligence—essential traits that can be difficult to assess until tested. Our workshop educates leaders on these critical skills.
The session can be delivered in-store with a small group or in a central office with a larger audience. The success of the workshop depends on the openness of the group, but don’t worry—we’re experienced in working with all types of personalities. We also offer one-on-one coaching if preferred.
Two weeks after the workshop, we follow up with attendees as part of our after-care service. We’ll review their progress, changes, and commitments moving forward, providing you with a full report.

"Spending days with Kayleigh in the field was nothing short of fantastic. Kayleigh listened to my challenges and helped me to get clear on what I needed to focus on. We visited several stores together and what I noticed was that Kayleigh made time for everyone, which was massively needed and appreciated. During the days we got to understand and feel how important we are to the business and that every action we take contributes to the business. A real mindset shift!"
