What is the

Leadership in Action Course?

Here's what it is and how it works.

Leadership in Action Program
5 Clear Outcomes:
  1. Clarity – Identify the outcomes (the specific results) you want from the people you lead.

  2. Your team’s actions – Clearly understand exactly what each of the people you lead need to be doing to achieve the outcomes you, and they, want.

  3. Your leadership actions and behaviours – Know and master the leadership actions and behaviours that develop, support and drive your people to exceptional performance in their roles.

  4. Your leadership action plan – Nothing changes without action!  In this course we help you build and apply your leadership action plan that delivers results, fast.

  5. Embed & Sustain – Develop and build your leadership rhythm at your own pace, to ensure new behaviours (yours and those of the people you lead) stick.

With this Leadership In Action course, I work with you to give you the support you need, keep you on track, and help you on the “how to” apply what you learn to make a very real difference to your leadership capability and business results.

Who is this best suited for?

This Course is for anyone who leads people or is preparing to lead people.

The Course is based on the leadership fundamentals we have been sharing with and teaching to leaders at all levels across a wide and diverse range of professions, industries and businesses.  These fundamentals will help anyone leading people in a professional or business environment.

If you’ve come this far and are reading this, this is likely for you!

Who is this not for?

Not for anyone who isn't serious about becoming a more effective leader.  And it's not for anyone who isn't prepared to change - we’ll work out whether that’s a little or a lot of your actions and behaviours to develop your leadership capability.

Why do you offer this Course?

I enjoy working with anyone who wants to lift their leadership and/or sales performance. It’s what I do.

I spend the majority of my working time with leaders in a variety of roles – coaching, consulting, teaching, mentoring - and it keeps me pretty busy.

I’ve created this course in response to requests I get from leaders who simply want to know: “What can I do to be a more effective leader and get better results?”

This course answers those questions and equips leaders – new, established, senior, junior, leaders-in-waiting… – with the knowledge, skills and tools to make a real difference in a short period of time.

And it’s a way for me to help leaders make a difference by effectively leveraging my time.

 But I only have a limited amount of time (I’m still working with a range of clients around Australia), so I need to limit the number of participants in the Course each three months.

Simply put, this works.  And occasionally a leader will want more, or an ongoing relationship with my team and me beyond this three month Course. And if it’s a fit, and my schedule can accommodate it, I end up with a new client.  Good for business!

How do I know if this is for me?

Over the past 30 years, I haven’t worked with a leader (manager, business owner, supervisor…) that I didn’t add some value to. Sometimes a little, mostly quite a lot.

If you’re a leader (or preparing to lead), this Course will be of value to you.  It will make a difference.

And if you’re still not sure, let’s have a chat.  Just book a call with me (Greg Zimbulis), and I’ll answer any questions you have and give you a clearer understanding of how the Course will work for you.

What if I'm not a leader right now?

Perfect! I often work with people who are beginning their leadership journey.

It’s a good opportunity for you to get some perspective on not only the leadership opportunities ahead of you, but also on your current capability and, importantly, the actions and behaviours you can exhibit right now in your current role to demonstrate your leadership ambitions and capability.

If you would like to know how this Course will work for you, just book a call with me (Greg Zimbulis), and I’ll answer any questions you have.

What if I feel out of my depth as a leader?

You’re not on your own!  Leadership can sometimes feel a little overwhelming.  Over the many years I’ve been working with leaders, I’ve learned how to help them better understand what they need to do and help them apply a series of actions (along with tools and support) to help them overcome this “out of my depth” feeling.  Let’s work together!

I'm new to leadership, how will this help me?

Generally, the newer you are, the greater the required learning. When you are new to leadership (like pretty much anything) there’s so much to learn that it’s not surprising that many are overwhelmed by the task.

If you’re new to leadership, this Course will give you some early direction, answer some of your most pressing questions and help you set your development path.

And it will give some targeted questions you can ask (in your own way) your employer or boss, that will both help you clarify what’s expected of you and send the “right” messages to the people who are leading and managing you.

Why does leadership matter - why is this important?

Because leadership drives results. Nothing changes without leadership.

Every problem in business — people, performance, sales, culture, consistency — traces back to leadership. When leadership improves, everything else improves.

Good leadership turns instructions into action, plans into results, and employees into accountable team members. Without effective leadership, even great strategies stall.

When leaders are clear, consistent, and committed, their teams become focused, engaged, and reliable. And sales performance improves.

It’s not about being “the boss.” It’s about creating the clarity and confidence that make people want to do their best work.

Leadership sets the tone, the direction, and the standards that drive performance. Without it, teams drift, results drop, and accountability disappears.

Who have you helped before?

It's a long list…  I've worked with leaders from CEOs, managers, business owners, and sales managers through to, team leaders, foremen, master tradespeople, doctors, dentists, accountants, financial advisers, practice managers, and more. 

And I’ve worked in many, many industry sectors and professions, including: small & medium business, publicly listed companies, multi-national companies, start-ups, franchises, government organisations, not-for-profits, B2B, B2C, retail, wholesale, distribution, manufacturing, medical device sales, dental equipment sales, distance learning, education, and more…

What makes your approach different?

I work with leaders with a focus on action. 

Theory is a good start, but my real point of difference is that I work with leaders on developing actions and behaviours that can be applied - very quickly - to drive performance and results.  And I do it WITH you.  I work with my clients to put actions in place that are sustainable. 

Nothing changes without action!

Why should I trust your process?

Trust it because it works.  And, importantly, it will make sense to you.  There is no silver bullet or secret sauce to effective leadership, but there are a number of fundamental skills that need to be understood, learned and mastered to build consistent, sustainable leadership capability. 

It's not complicated (I don’t confuse simple with easy) but it's not difficult when you understand the fundamentals, make a genuine effort to apply the right practices and, importantly, have someone to help you - that’s what I do.

What is a With You program, and how does it work?

My With You program is just that - I help you learn and apply effective leadership actions and behaviours - I don't just give you the learning and wish you well, I work with you to develop the skills, establish a plan and implement the actions. 

My leadership With You program includes one-on-one support, group advisory sessions (I’ve done over 17,000 hours of in-person close-quarter support like this, it's really powerful) and a stack of ongoing support. 

How long before I notice changes?

The short answer is: immediately!  You will be able to begin making changes to your leadership behaviours, actions and rhythm straight away.  But real change takes time.  While there are some early changes and “wins”, sustainable change takes time, effort and consistency.

Realistically, over the first month or two, you will be a more effective leader and your results, and those of the people you lead, will reflect that.

Who are you anyway, Greg?

I’m Greg Zimbulis — a leadership and sales expert, coach, and author who’s spent more than 30 years helping business owners and managers get real results through better leadership. and better -killed and equipped teams.

I founded SAMES Professional Development and created the Bring Leadership To Life framework — a practical, no-nonsense approach that helps leaders turn good intentions into consistent action.

I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners, managers and leaders across a wide range of industries and professions — from dental practices and solar install teams to financial services and manufacturing, B2B, retail, wholesale, professional services... amongst others — helping them build accountability, clarity, and performance that lasts.

My style? Straight-talking, practical, and focused on getting things done.

My approach is simple: leadership isn't about titles or theory — it’s about actions and behaviours that drive outcomes.

That’s what I help you master.
