Welcome to Politics at Ground Zero

Politics at Ground Zero is a leadership development centre for aspiring, emerging and maturing political leaders.

We provide the resources for individuals to explore the options, develop the skills and prepare their whole person for authentic political leadership.

The forum we provide fosters open discussion of ideas and approaches. Our members are diverse in their political persuasions, and united by their desire to serve society in a constructive and humane way.

The tools we provide encompass the practical and the big picture; the immediate and the long-range; the active and the reflective.

Our Vision

Political leaders live authentic lives and are recognised for their congruent, courageous and transparent leadership in a world that respects and honours humanity and our living planet.

Our Mission

Through customised practical down-to-earth authentic political leadership development we bring about fundamental change in how:

  • Individuals prepare themselves for political leadership,
  • Political leaders connect with their authenticity and inner wisdom to bring new solutions to local, national and global challenges,
  • Political leaders strengthen their inner conviction and confidence to stand up for what matters, irrespective of the consequences,
  • Political parties and individuals of differing political orientations work together for the greater good of humanity,
  • Political leaders navigate complexity and operate in local, national and global political environments of uncertainty and radical change with ease and confidence.
