Whether your looking for personal of professional development, learning to be an Upstander is crucial for your workplace and business success.

Whether you are leading or part of workplace culture this course is tailored to meet your needs.

I had a lot of people reach out sharing their desire to build more positive work cultures but unsure if their organisation or business would adopt a culture change program or in-house face-to-face workshop.

This course allows you to purchase access to the content individually but also for your workplace or team.

The Upstand Academy content is at a fraction of the cost of an in-person workshop.

We offer fixed-price cost to access all the content from the leisure of your home or office.

Cost is $499 + GST per user

Your password and access will be delivered straight to your inbox upon signing up. You can work through the content at your own leisure. For ultimate effect, I recommend you do a module/topic a week (some modules are short 5-minute videos while others have worksheets and reflections)

We are all busy, so the course is designed with busy people in mind.

I recommend you set aside one to two hours per week (although some people prefer to set out more time and complete the course within a short time frame)
