People leave a bad boss, not a bad company
Yet 85% of managers get ZERO formal training
Management as we know it is broken - we’re fixing it
Welcome to Fresh Leadership World
Welcome to Fresh Leadership World. We’re changing management.
When employees are happy, their productivity goes up by 20%. We know a manager plays the most significant role in influencing this happiness, yet 85% of new managers receive no formal training at all.
We're building a world where everyone loves the work they do, by equipping managers with the knowledge and skills to become leaders who leave a lasting positive impact on their teams and businesses.
At Fresh Leadership World, we’re not just giving you a platform and community - we’re leading a movement. A movement to eliminate micromanagement, reduce workplace anxiety, and create leaders who embrace tough conversations, learn from failure, empower their teams and drive their businesses forward with them.
There are so many ways you can get involved, from subscribing to our newsletter for weekly leadership tips to joining Fresh Start, the ultimate course turning new managers into highly respected and confident leaders over 6 weeks.
Let’s change management, together.
Welcome to Fresh Leadership World—where everyone can love the work they do.
Meet our founder, Heather Elkington
From her early days as an Assistant Manager on the shop floor at Harrods, to building and selling a tech company, and eventually rising to a Director role at a FTSE-100 corporation with 11,000 employees, managing five different teams.
Through her experiences, Heather witnessed firsthand the contrast between teams with strong leadership—where innovation thrived and success followed—and those where leadership was lacking, resulting in low engagement and high turnover. She realised that effective leadership makes or breaks a business.
Inspired by her own journey and the impact strong leadership can have, Heather founded Fresh Leadership World. Her mission is to teach new managers across the globe the unique principles that fueled her success and to build a world where everyone can truly love the work they do.
We’re already seeing companies starting to do it differently.
Over the last year, Heather has worked with huge clients from the Ministry of Defence to American Express, and is now a TedX public speaker.
Heather has directly trained thousands of workplace leaders, and reached 10s of millions with her work.
