Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL)

Most leaders know that change is coming. Few are building for it.

By 2027, over 40% of leadership roles will be fundamentally reshaped by AI and automation. The organisations that will navigate that shift aren't the ones with the best technology; they're the ones who started building their human capability now.

The IECL Future of Leadership Summit APAC 2026 is where that work begins.

Two days with a capped group of CEOs, CPOs and senior leaders who are ready to stop talking about the future of leadership and start designing it. 27–28 October 2026 (Sydney + Virtual)

SUPER EARLY BIRD PRICING NOW OPEN:

From Day 1 to Day 3, the shift is real.

“The program has been extremely valuable in helping me gain critical coaching skills that can be applied both professionally and personally. I feel much more comfortable on Day 3 than I did on Day 1.”

One of the most consistent things we hear from participants is how quickly confidence builds when coaching is practised in a structured, supportive environment.

At IECL, our Level 1 program is designed to move beyond theory, helping you develop practical coaching skills you can apply immediately in your work, leadership and everyday conversations.

If you’re looking to build confidence, capability and a coaching mindset, this is where it starts.

Announcing the IECL Leadership Summit APAC 2026.

27–28 October 2026: The Fullerton Hotel Sydney + virtual attendance

Leadership feels different today. Many of the leaders we work with are navigating complexity that simply didn't exist a decade ago, faster change, greater uncertainty, higher expectations from teams and organisations.

The traditional models don't always give people what they need.

What we're seeing is a shift in how leadership is practised, and in what leaders need to develop. That shift is exactly what this summit is built around.

Across two days, leaders, coaches and organisations from across the region will come together to explore the future of leadership and the growing role of coaching in how leadership capability is developed.

🌟 Super early-bird tickets on sale 31 March!

If leadership is evolving, the question becomes: how do we evolve with it?

More details coming soon.

Great coaching starts with how you listen, not what you say.

Our Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification is designed to build the foundations of impactful coaching, helping you develop the skills to create space, shift thinking, and support meaningful change.

07–09 April 2026 | 9:00am – 5:15pm (UTC+10)

“When we ask rather than tell, we empower people to find their own solutions.” – Alex Mason-Jones, Director of Client Development at Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL)

Alex brings a deep understanding of how coaching shifts mindsets and creates lasting change, not just in individuals, but across whole organisations.

Great leaders don’t give all the answers, they create the conditions for others to discover their own. This is the essence of what we mean at IECL when we talk about Leader as Coach.

If you’re looking to scale internal coaching, grow leadership capability, or build a learning culture, get in touch with Alex to explore what’s possible.

Meet Alex Mason-Jones, Director of Client Development at Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL)

Alex has spent years partnering with a wide range of organisations, from top-tier banks to government agencies, to co-design learning and coaching solutions that do more than tick the box.

What drives Alex?
It’s not just delivering a leadership program. It’s building long-term partnerships that create a real, sustainable impact, aligning leadership development with strategic organisational goals.

“What I’ve seen repeatedly is that true transformation doesn't happen through one-off events. It happens when learning is embedded over time, connected to strategy, grounded in behavioural change, and scalable across leadership levels.”

That’s why Alex takes a systemic approach, co-creating coaching initiatives that embed capability into the culture of how leaders lead and how teams collaborate.

Alex’s approach is deeply informed by her own coaching journey:

💫 Completed IECL Level 1 in 2017 and again in 2022
💫 ACC ICF-accredited coach and AIECL credentialed
💫 Completed Level 2 – twice – deepening impact and reflection
💫 Believes that while giving answers can feel helpful, asking powerful questions builds capability

“When we ask rather than tell, we empower people to find their own solutions. That’s how we build not only leaders but learning cultures.” Alex Mason-Jones

Whether it’s enhancing leadership skills, scaling coaching across your organisation, or creating cultures of growth and feedback, Alex is your go-to partner.
