Our new Leadership in the Age of Disruption micro-credential is unlike anything we've offered before. It's designed for leaders who want to understand AI not as just another tool, but as a catalyst reshaping how we think, decide, and lead, alongside practical frameworks that work under pressure.

What does it take to lead real, lasting change? 

For Kristi Palmer, the journey began with academyEX's Postgraduate Certificate in Leading Change for Good. After tricky past experiences with study, taking the leap was a challenge. But with encouragement from a friend, it turned into a rewarding experience that built confidence, resilience, and self-belief.

What does great adult learning look like? For senior training and learning practitioner Everlee Thao Nguyen, it means moving beyond tick-box training to create real change. She works with organisations across sectors to design learning that adults want to take part in.

For Jaydee “Jae” Modina, leadership starts with service and heart. Guided by the Pasifika and Māori concept of Fakafekauaga (servantship), Jae believes workplaces should be spaces where people feel safe to show up as their whole selves. That belief has driven a career dedicated to People and Culture, Learning and Development, and building communities grounded in trust, empathy, and connection.

If there is one event to add to your business calendar - this is it. In our fast paced world the only constant is change. You can either move with it, or let it pass you by.
