Great leadership =
Great human connection =
Great outcomes and results.

Making a difference through human connection

For over 20 years JUNO have sought to develop people who can see beyond their ‘four walls’ to the more adaptive challenges and opportunities that exist in the world.

We know that in an increasingly complex world the boundaries between organisations, communities, markets and the environment have dissolved. Great leadership sits at the heart of human connection, and great human connection sits at the heart of organisational success. Great leadership and great human connection in organisations has never been more important than now.

At The JUNO Institute we are passionate about great leadership and great human connection in organisations. Leadership, not in the trite, slogan-y or aphorismic sense, no, at The JUNO Institute leadership is a way of being, it is a social process, it is about having a lasting positive influence on others. Great leadership leads to great results.

We live our leadership passion through our Community and NGO Partnership programs, transforming the lives of those in sectors of society often forgotten and neglected.

We are also set up to work in partnership with Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Resources, and other Leadership Teams on Organisational-Leadership and we work intensively and extensively with individuals on Self-Leadership.

At JUNO we create learning contexts that are unique, challenging yet manageable. Our workshops are live learning spaces and support experiences that quickly apply into the work context. We adopt a learning process that both challenges and empowers individuals to work with greater purpose, passion, flexibility and risk.

Our Philosophy:

We believe that when you clarify your life purpose and become more conscious you are in a much better place to bring your whole self to work and optimise your leadership effectiveness. Through gaining self-awareness, exploring life and leadership purpose and clearly understanding behaviors and motivations individuals are able to ask tough questions and master their own thoughts and behaviours and consequently, leadership style. A key learning for individuals is to develop flexibility in thinking and doing and learn how to more effectively engage and motivate others.

Adaptation takes time and persistence. It is not just the bringing to “awareness” of what needs to change, but also the development of new capacities and shifts in mindsets. The learning journey is structured to allow participants the time it takes to think through layers and make the changes that will “stick”.

Our Learning Model:

The JUNO Institute seeks to develop people who can see beyond their ‘four walls’ to the more adaptive challenges and opportunities that exist in the world. We know that in an increasingly complex world there are no longer any boundaries between organisations, communities, markets and the environment.
Fundamental to our learning design is the requirement to create learning contexts that are unique, challenging yet manageable. Our workshops are live learning spaces and support experiences that quickly apply into the work context. At JUNO we adopt a learning process that both challenges and empowers individuals to work with greater purpose, passion, flexibility and risk.

Our programs teach and explore:

  • the adaptive leadership model
  • complexity and uncertainty
  • community and cultural awareness
  • working with diversity
  • self-awareness and clarity of purpose & values
  • resilience and confidence to lead in unfamiliar circumstances – “the leadership terrain”

JUNO’s interventions are supported by the approach that organisational change requires developing groups of individuals to work with purpose, to take responsibility beyond their formal authority, and to provide them with the skills, capacity and resiliency to operate and thrive in challenging and uncertain environments.

People are invited to come into the program as learners, not experts, and to be open to having their values questioned and challenged. In an environment of stark contrast with the structures and demands that pervade most of our everyday working lives, the program provides participants with a good opportunity to remove the masks and be open, generous, adventurous and vulnerable.

Testimonials

"I can’t speak highly enough of this program. It is challenging and will force you to think very differently. It challenges your leadership style, and it will push you well outside your comfort zone and encourage you to work closely with people you haven’t met before."

Darius – Chapter Lead, ANZ Banking Group

“For me, it proved an invaluable perspective into my own shortcomings as an employee, friend and leader. It provided me with a ‘safe space’ to allow myself to be vulnerable and develop a new set of leadership skills. I can’t recommend it enough.”
