About Us

The Brave Change Academy brings together specialist practitioners across Organisational Change Management, Enterprise Change, Learning Design and Development, Cynefin, Anthro-complexity, Team Dynamics, Leadership, Visual Communications, Applied Strategy, Human Centred Design, Facilitation and Change Communications.

The Brave Change Academy brings together training and education in skills beyond basic models and frameworks and opens up new pathways to creatively approach change in your business.

We came together to make those new pathways accessible, exciting and a whole lot less scary.

Our Facilitators

With decades of experience, our facilitators are some of the best in the business.

What sets them apart is their desire to work with leaders and change practitioners to build unlimited mindsets, using creative approaches, the latest research and unexpected facilitation techniques.

You won’t find this combination of skills, experience and unique training approaches anywhere else – what brought this group together is a true desire to shake up change and transformation education!

5/5

I had the absolute pleasure of coaching with the fabulous Leigh Ross in Brisbane. This was a two day intensive for a new Change Practitioner. Leigh shared her wisdom of over 15 years experience as a Changemaggedon expert. 

If you are new to change, or thinking about best of breed practices in the change space, I would highly recommend giving Leigh a call. I walked out ready, willing and able to forge ahead with the massive transformational project I have ahead of me.

Peter Phan is a high-energy, dynamic and inspiring virtual facilitator who makes the art and science of storytelling about change through the use of cartoons and animations so accessible.

His workshop was so fun, and immediately applicable to my work and play.

Peter embraced the impromptu participation of my teenage daughter into the session which created a really special experience for us to share. Thank you!

Official Charity Partner for Girl Shaped Flames Patron of Fire

To date Girl Shaped Flames has inspired and empowered almost 2500 teenage girls across Queensland by connecting them with over 200 extraordinary women, to develop their self-confidence, life skills and mental and emotional resilience.

For us, empowering future generation of leaders is as important as supporting leaders within our client organisations.

We believe embedding brave change in our society starts with ensuring the skills to lead bravely are given to those who will see us into the future.

The message of Girl Shaped Flames has always been to harness the passion and fire within our next generation to meet these challenges, and we feel strongly that this mission is needed now more than ever.

Girl Shaped Flames is poised to continue delivering the skills needed for our next generation of leaders to not only meet the challenges of our current crisis, but to grow in new and unexpected ways.


Leadership is not a gendered role, neither is being a Patron of Fire.

The Girl Shaped Flames Patron of Fire initiative gives the opportunity for both women and men to directly impact the lives of our future female leaders, entrepreneurs and adventurers.

We challenge our colleagues and clients to come onboard with Valiente to build the skills of future leaders to make brave change a certainty for tomorrow.
