Turning managers into leaders
You see it every day.
Current “leaders” are stuck in the operational grind. They’re putting out fires instead of coaching their teams to. Feeling too busy to have the conversations they need to. And the strategic future-focused work gets pushed further down the to-do list.
A job title on its own won’t unlock leadership.
We do it every day for organisations.
We’re experienced in delivering practical and translatable leadership programs from C-Suite groups of 10 through to 500 leaders across an organisation.
Our neuroscience-backed programs and Top Five Movement’s methodology support leaders at all levels to sustainably change their behaviour and elevate leadership.
Imagine what it would unlock in your organisation if your leaders were able to shift from:
Firefighting
Strategic Focus
Time for slowing down to go fast is replacing being stuck in the weeds.
Silos
Collaboration
Leaders now connect across teams and some even outside the organisation, rather than staying in their lane.
Avoidance
Courage
Leaders lean into hard conversations instead of holding back.
Control
Empowerment
Coaching, delegation and psychological safety are replacing micro-managing.
Second-guessing
Trust
Leaders moved from doubting themselves to trusting their judgment and their teams.
Cynicism
Purpose
Leaders are reconnecting with why their work matters, bringing energy back into teams.
At Top Five, we draw on neuroscience and behaviour change principles to deliver measurable and meaningful leadership programs that amplify your leaders.
Skills alone rarely produce sustained behaviour change. Ask any of your leaders. They often know what they should do (or where to find the answer) but struggle to do it under pressure.
And for leaders today, time is stretched and the pressure isn’t going anywhere.
Sustainable change happens when we shift how people think and act.
And turning managers into leaders starts with the practical application of neuroscience.

Client recommendations
Right now leaders need the ability to flex for the future. We need to support them with their mindset, resilience and how people think. Top Five Movement are the leaders in this space. Clare + the team are contemporary in their thinking and how they prioritise neuroscience, theory + practice.
In our Australian Red Cross leadership programs, Clare has equipped our leaders with repeatable tools and resources for challenging “old” patterns of behaviour, creating a culture of possibility and greater productivity, purpose and focus.
I would recommend Clare + the Top Five Movement’s coaching and training to any person or organisation looking to stretch themselves in ways they didn’t think possible.
As an individual, the impact Clare has had on me both personally and professionally is hard to sum up in words. The growth I have felt over the past year of my leadership coaching I would not have experienced anywhere else. Clare creates an environment where you feel you can safely challenge and push yourself in such a fun yet authentic way. Thank you Clare.

Top Five Movement has made a significant impact on our business. For five years your program has developed emerging leaders personally and professionally. You’ve change their mindset from “I can’t” to “I really can”, to build their confidence and to become the next generation of leaders in our organisation.
Your program continues to be the most effective leadership program I’ve seen in my many years of delivering these types of programs.
I’m in tears even thinking about the bravery of the leaders at the end of the program as they share the changes that they’ve experienced. It’s just extraordinary. We celebrate the change that your program brings into the lives of the participants each year, and the significance that brings into their future from that moment on. They’re different people and so I thank you and the team for what you bring through your program.

I brought my leadership team together for a lunchtime session with Top Five to help them improve their mindset and level of team support. Their style of presentation was excellent.
Following the workshop as a team we felt energised, engaged and focused. Our industry is all about service and the tools Top Five shared will help us create a better team and customer service environment.
As a result of our work together the team are committed to lead by example and be more helpful, productive and encouraging with their team communications.

As a management team we needed to regroup following some organisational challenges. We planned two days together and to help us get the most of our valuable time together, Top Five kicked us off with a session on mindset. After this session our team felt excited, grounded, positive, equipped and ready to focus on recovery.
The framework Top Five shared added to our planning sessions and has since become part of our ways of working – it has already been used by our HR and Corporate Affairs teams.

As CFO, it is my job to research. I spent a day and a half researching for a company who could help our team build resilience ahead of some exciting growth. I looked at various companies but I kept coming back to Top Five Movement.
Our program was even better than I expected and I was surprised that every member of the team responded well. Top Five Movement’s work is helping our team to be more productive, aid transition to change, have better communication and open discussion and build a renewed willingness to assist each other. I’ve never seen the team working so well together. We look forward to working with Clare + the Top Five team further.
Chris Anderson
Former CFO, Retzos Group
Top Five came highly recommended and we liked their easy, friendly and fun approach. The Top Five team has now worked on three engaging, relevant, interesting, and thought provoking projects with our team – opening our global Women in Leadership Forum, running a mindset workshop at our head office and creating an online goal setting and mindset program which we delivered to team members across 40 countries. Their work really hit the mark and translated well globally.
Our team feel like they have tools to help them understand issues through a different lens, create a better work environment for everyone by raising the bar, solve problems they haven’t been able to solve and have clearer perspectives on how to encourage change.
