Leadership. Collaboration. Lasting impact.

In an uncertain world, leading successful projects and change requires resilient leaders and collaborative teams. Process and methodology only get you so far.

After that, the ability to step up to courageous, decisive and strategic leadership makes the real difference. Transitioning from task-doer, to manager, to exceptional leader requires a focused attention to personal and team growth.

Trusted by some of the biggest and most innovative clients in project delivery, The Project Academy has the track record to succeed.

What our clients say

Senior leaders on critical change initiatives, in their own words.

“Project Academy continues to provide an excellent service, and their staff bring a wealth of PM experience to bear.”
“An amazing inspirational experience, that I wished I'd conducted much earlier in my career.”
“Fantastic coaching, it has really been powerful, it has helped identify some key things that were holding me back (without even realising it), it has given me tools and approaches that I will continue to use.  I have gained so much from this experience, thank you!”
“Genuinely transformational. I may have walked away from the opportunity of a senior role thinking I was not capable. I may also have seen myself signed off with stress again in a matter of months without the coaching tools and techniques I have gained.”
“I have found the leadership coaching to be extremely valuable. Through awareness, reflection and constructive challenge, I have increased resilience and confidence, which I have used in my career.”
“I have the cycle of imposter syndrome, which hindered me from achieving my true potential. Only to say a huge thank you to my coach - a truly life changing experience.”
“Outstanding and more valuable than the technical course - the coaching has changed me as a person and impacted on interactions professionally and personally.”
“Improved the culture of my team and relationships with stakeholders.”
