In February 2020, the world changed forever. Almost without warning, our attention moved from focusing on our own lives, families, communities and businesses to witnessing countless tragedies, setbacks and heartbreaks. We shifted from living in our own bubble, to hanging on to every word, announcement and email from our leaders. Their leadership was placed under the microscope, and it still is.
Now, every leader’s decision is openly scrutinised. Every word is studied, gesture noted and their ability to find practical solutions is constantly tested. Their relevancy is questioned, performances graded, allegiances discovered and outcomes judged.
The value of every leader is now exposed. Smiling Tiger Group believes that in these times of extreme scrutiny, division and change, an extraordinary opportunity awaits leaders who are willing to embrace this new reality. Willingness to develop a new mindset, replace habits that are no longer relevant, initiate new solutions to new problems and reimagine their role as a leader is the new normal.
The evolution of leadership is here.
At Smiling Tiger Group, we are determined to be part of this evolution.
Smiling Tiger Group is an ever-growing team of leadership specialists, company directors, MBA leadership project managers, corporate trainers, academics, experienced small business owners and executive coaches. The Smiling Tiger Group board members have more than 75 years’ experience and our vast resource team is eager for assignment.
What we do
We take leadership development personally. In a world besotted with going digital, sometimes ‘going human’ delivers the best result. Smiling Tiger Group makes this option available to you. We provide our keynotes, workshops, boardroom seminars and executive coaching sessions in a live, personal arena if that is your preference. Live interaction often enhances the ability to discuss critical topics, discover solutions
and raise difficult issues in confidence. Open communication, whether online or in person is essential for developing the self-mastery that leadership requires.
We understand the extreme pressures of leadership. Mental health is crucial in determining accurate decisions and procedures. Being fully present and able to focus on important duties requires an inner peace which is elusive in a noisy, distractive and problematic environment. Our mental strength programs are designed to reach two objectives. Firstly, to provide you with the tools, habits and structure required to develop an ‘unfettered mind.’ Secondly, to teach your team how to build a workplace environment which cultivates mental health and achieves greater productivity.
We are willing to challenge you. Our only loyalty is to your growth. New leadership paradigms are emerging throughout the global marketplace and the process you
have always used to analyse information and determine decisions may no longer be your best option. A fresh perspective may provide you with the clarity and direction you need. As a result, we do not offer echo chambers, yes-men or lap dogs.
We are aware that the habits, mindset and character of a leader are often sharpened during the early years of adulthood. Our ‘Young Leader’ programs on critical
thinking, sustainability, value-added leadership, entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship have been developed from our 20-year experience of working with MBA students. Being able to challenge and alter one’s own confirmation bias and unconscious prejudice is a high value skill for today’s leader.
Our Culture
Smiling Tiger Group strives to create a humble, diverse and positive team culture. We believe that clarity, collaboration and focus are powerful tools that benefit our colleagues, our customers and our community. We also encourage each other to share unique experiences and original learning perspectives to deepen our understanding of the world we share.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is our passion: To help leaders evolve, exceed their potential and remain relevant in a world of continual change.
