Transforming your managers into leaders.

Our Mission

At LeadMe Academy, we believe that great leaders don’t just build successful companies – they create environments where individuals thrive. When leaders grow, their teams flourish, and the entire organisation prospers.

Our mission is to cultivate smart, self-aware leaders who drive smarter businesses, foster positive workplace cultures, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. We help people become the best leaders they can be, because better leaders mean better companies and better communities. 

Our Vision

We aspire to be the go-to partner for leadership development across South Africa and beyond. Our vision is to set the standard for leadership excellence – empowering leaders at all levels to drive meaningful change and build high-performing organisations.

In the years ahead, we aim to expand our reach globally, impacting millions of individuals. By consistently delivering quality and value, we’re working toward being recognized as a leading name in leadership transformation worldwide. 

Our Values

Connection

Strong leadership starts with strong connection. We help leaders build the kind of trust and relationships that make teams feel seen, supported and ready to grow.

Collaboration

We’re not here to hand over a model and walk away. We work alongside you to shape solutions that actually fit your context. 

Continuous Learning

 Learning isn’t a box to tick, it’s a mindset and part of the way we work. We ensure teams stay curious, challenge old patterns, and stretch into what’s possible.

Our Team

The LeadMe Academy team includes organisational psychologists, experienced business leaders, program managers, and a network of accredited coaches and facilitators around the globe. We collaborate with coaches who bring expertise in everything from executive leadership and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) to change management and wellness coaching. This allows us to match each client with the best-fit coaches and content for their needs.

Every member of our team shares a common passion: helping others grow. We live by the same principles we teach: collaboration, continuous learning, and a commitment to excellence. Whether you interact with our client success manager, a facilitator, or online coach, you’ll find a genuine dedication to your growth and an approachable, supportive style. We like to say that we’re not just vendors, we’re partners in your leadership journey. 

Our Story

LeadMe began with a simple insight: traditional leadership training wasn’t meeting the needs of modern organisations.

As a qualified NeuroLeadership coach and OD consultant, Jackie spent years coaching executives and saw three consistent challenges: coaching was powerful but hard to scale, leadership training often taught skills in isolation, and short workshops rarely created lasting change.She imagined a better way: an ongoing learning journey that combined coaching, community and on-the-job application.

That vision became LeadMe Academy: scalable, affordable and rooted in real behaviour change.

Founded in 2020, we started with a flagship 12-month programme blending coaching and e-learning, designed to make high-impact leadership development accessible to companies of all sizes. As results rolled in, word spread — and in 2023, early client Analyze Consulting came on board as a strategic partner, helping us grow our reach and impact.

Today, while our roots are in Cape Town, our work spans industries and countries. What hasn’t changed is our focus: developing leaders at every level. Jackie’s background in neuroscience, psychology and mindfulness continues to shape our approach. We’re still small enough to personalise, yet experienced enough to scale — bringing a thoughtful, practical touch to every partnership.
