Elevate in 90 Days is a highly practical leadership program that will elevate the way you lead and manage your team, develop greater self-awareness through feedback, drive your career and brand forward, and establish key systems to be more proactive, organised and strategic.

"Rachael, I really loved the program. It has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and to have a growth focus as I continue my leadership journey."  Shelley Raleigh, Area Manager

Are You Ready to Fast-Track Your Leadership, Brand and Career?

Imagine being a leader who:

• Is recognised as someone who confidently drives your own career and leadership development, rather than holding back and playing small
• Earns the respect of senior management, peers and team members, rather than wondering how others do it
• Builds a personal brand that positions you as a go-to leader, attracting other to work with you and for you
• Gets tapped on the shoulder for opportunities, rather than watching others get ahead
• Leverages feedback to accelerate growth, rather than assuming or second-guessing about critical growth opportunities that will make all the difference
• Operates in a strategic, planned and organised way, rather than being stuck in operational and reactive mode
• Works smarter (not harder), collapsing time by leveraging systems and tools, rather than being busy chasing your tail 
• Looks back in 12 months proud of your growth and achievement, rather than feeling frustrated as another year flies by and you know you're capable of more

If you’re tired of wasting time and your potential, this is the moment to take action.

Hi, I'm Rachael Pickworth, founder of MAD Leaders (Make a Difference Leaders). 

With over 20 years as a career and leadership coach, I’ve worked with thousands of leaders, from Team Leaders to CEOs. I’ve witnessed what accelerates leaders forward—and what quietly holds them back.

I’ve distilled these insights into my Elevate in 90 Days Fast Track Program, designed to elevate your personal brand, accelerate you growth, enhance your leadership effectiveness, and progress your career.

This isn’t just another leadership course. It’s a highly practical, action-driven journey that empowers you to take control of your own leadership and career development, driving ongoing growth and elevation over 90-day cycles.

"This has been the most learning I have done in a long time, I feel that has helped me to grow so much and I am already introducing and using my new skills with my team. Thank you Rachael, best training received!!"  Mariel Ceballos

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rachael (for multiple years) for the in-house delivery of the Elevate in 90 Days program. Rachael provides exceptional service by way of participant support, program design and continuous improvement. While the Elevate program is offered as a public program, Rachael works very hard to make the learning experience effective is relevant to our unique needs as a Department. Rachael’s passion for leadership and practical approach in building leadership capability, is what makes her a brilliant practitioner to work with."  Danielle Fancellu, Senior Organisational Development Consultant Leadership, Leadership and Talent Development, Department of Transport

I know you're a busy leader.

The last thing I want is to overwhelm you with a long, theory-based program that you’ll never have time for. 

Elevate in 90 Days provides short, practical lessons that are action-focused, allowing you to apply what you learn immediately and see results.

 "As someone fairly new to a Team Leader role this course provided an amazing opportunity to focus on improving my skills rather than getting stuck on the daily ‘hamster wheel’. The tools and systems provided during the course were great and will help me be more strategic in future meetings and discussions. The course is structured in short sections over a number of months, which gives participants the chance to implement and reflect. Reflection on my own strengths, career goals and areas of development was key to the program with the structure resulting in more constructive discussions with both those in higher level management and those in my team. Unlike many courses where you attend and then put the booklet aside afterwards this is one course where I can see myself continuing to implement my learnings far into the future." Tamara Scenna

Stage 1. Purpose & feedback for growth

Purpose, Why Statement & Goals

The work we do in the first lesson will provide the context for the program.

What are your values? What lights you up? What are your leadership and career goals?

Your new Why Statement will be the compass that guides your career and leadership forward.

Self-driven 360-degree feedback and development planning

You are in the driver's seat

This unique feedback gathering process will likely be the most valuable part of the program. You will have powerful feedback conversations to share your goals and Why Statement, and identify exactly how you can grow from their unique view points. You will strengthen your brand and relationships with people around you and ultimately develop a highly relevant development plan.

"I was pleasantly surprised to understand how my team views some of my key strengths. I feel more confident in acknowledging that I have some great skills in leadership and that these will help to build a good culture around the team."  Steven Morrow

 "Thank you for a very informative and brilliant course. I was actually reflecting on one of your sessions the other day when I felt guilty blocking time out of my already busy calendar for leadership and team planning, however as I face a mountain of work this financial year, I am very grateful I took the time as it led to a successful pitch for more resourcing where I would have been typically on the back foot."  Stephen Trevillian, Manager, Melbourne City Council
