A Sanitarium and Dale Carnegie partnership

Personal Leadership Development Program

At Sanitarium Health Food Company, we believe passionately in the potential of everyone. A core priority in living and breathing Sanitarium's values is building towards a culture where we all own our learning and career journey.

This professional development training has been carefully curated for your benefit. It supports a progressive growth mindset approach, to effectively develop your knowledge and skills. The learning opportunities include a mix of in-person and online sessions with relevant and useful practical application to tap into your own creativity and leadership style.

Leadership From Within

Step into a journey of personal leadership, where we dive into Sanitarium's values, boost emotional intelligence, foster collaborative creativity, and master the art of impactful communication. It's not your typical professional development program - it's personalised with hands-on, practical learning, leaving you feeling connected, empowered and influential.

To maximise your experience, it's been designed as a 3-day in-person program with supporting online check-ins.

What Participants Are Saying

Everything about this program was really good and helpful. It gave us the space to participate, be vulnerable, and understand that even the little things about our behaviour can affect others. This program gave us the tools to explore how to be a good leader and set an example for others.

The practical side - presenting, feedback sessions etc. the imposter syndrome reframe module was also fantastic.
Australia Cohort
2025
I like the practical tools we learned and that we got to practice them in short sessions during the training. I also like how interactive and how animated the trainer is. It kept me focused and engaged the entire time.
Australia Cohort
2025
The in-person days were extremely valuable. The tactics were put in such a simple and effective way, that it will hopefully be easy to implement in my day to day work.
Australia Cohort
2024
The training is very informative and eye opening. It gets you out of your comfort zone but in a good way by challenging you. I highly recommend this training course as it will give you the tools to succeed...
New Zealand Cohort
2024
Super engaging course, with practical examples of how we can implement certain strategies. We discussed not only the theory behind all the learnings but actually practiced them too to see what worked best for each individual. :)
New Zealand Cohort
2024
This course opens up leadership for learning and discussion in a very honest and engaging way. It's outline takes real world objectives and and breaks them down into smaller and more manageable, easier and very fun sessions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for leadership skills..
