Established in 1981 by Roger K. Deaner and Carolyn J. Barratt, LeaderVision has been in continual operation and expansion ever since. It was originally created as a business consultancy with the aim of assisting professionals and smaller companies to stay in business by using some of the principles of ultra successful big business.

Through these consultancies the founders quickly realised that there was a real shortage of advanced quality training programs and courses designed for business owners, professionals of all sorts and leaders of teams and organisations. While continuing with the consultancy arm, the company began to develop a series of diverse training programs for business professionals.

It also became apparent that an enduring transfer of these business skills was best achieved by equipping the students with a sound understanding of human behaviour, communication and linguistics. This was realised through teaching Neuro-Linguistic Programming and enhanced by the addition of the advanced organisational model, Spiral Dynamics integral.

LeaderVision’s students find that these teachings take them on a journey of self discovery as well as giving them powerful and dynamic skills to communicate, interact and understand individuals, organisations and society. The application of these skills to any field of human endeavour accelerates the achievement of excellence and means that the courses have drawn students from a diverse range of professions including business leaders and managers, scientists, engineers, miners, farmers, land owners, musicians, artists, writers, sports people, actors, teachers, lawyers, coaches, therapists and health industry workers.

It is however the application of these skills to business that creates the greatest impact and many corporate students have found that the courses have accelerated their capacity for excellence and leadership. For them this has opened up a whole new world of opportunity. It is this natural synergy between the teachings of NLP and business that has made LeaderVision’s courses very popular and relevant to the corporate market.

In 2004 Carolyn and Roger teamed up with Barbara and Alistair Wait of In Tandem Ltd, John Cook of 5 deep Limited and Rita Papadakis of The Holon Business Group Pty Ltd to form The Organisational Development Group Ltd. It is this company, TODG, incorporated in New Zealand, and marketed internationally, who in future will be providing a range of courses based on the applications of NLP combined with Spiral Dynamics integral.

As fore-runners in the teaching of NLP in Australia in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Leadervision has been delighted by the popularity and expansion of interest in NLP today. The large number of trainers and life coaches now teaching applications of NLP and the integration of NLP into business has been encouraging. Of concern however has been the tendency for some trainers to present NLP as a quick fix which can be learnt in very short courses. The difficulty is one which is fully appreciated by the directors of LeaderVision. There is a great temptation to bow to the demands of the public and offer courses which are easy to digest and don’t take up too much time. However to really learn NLP well, so that its wide ranging applications are available to you every minute of every day – on an unconscious level – NLP must be generic and learned epistemologically and for maximum behavioural flexibility – and this does take time. It’s the old principle of spending time to save time. If you really want to gain the immense advantages that come from applying NLP to the specific needs and requirements of your own life then it is worth taking the time to do it well. It is LeaderVision’s total commitment to excellence in teaching enduring and comprehensive skills that sets its programs apart from those of most other training organisations in Australia.
