Host, MC & Speaker
Andy Rolston
Co-Founder | Leadership Coach & Keynote Speaker

Andy spent over 20 years building and running his own businesses. Before that, he coached rugby across New Zealand, Canada, and England. Those two worlds taught him the same thing: when trust breaks down between a leader and their team, performance follows. He works with leaders who want to close the gap between what they intend and what their people actually experience.

See What a Live2Lead Day Looks Like

Five years. Hundreds of New Zealand leaders. One unforgettable day.

What You Will Take Away

Practical. No Fluff.

Every good coach sends their players onto the field with a clear game plan. You will leave with yours.

01

Fresh Perspective

New ways to approach the challenges already sitting on your desk. Sometimes the best move is to see the game differently before you change how you play it.

02

Practical Tools

Strategies, frameworks and ideas you can use with your team the very next day. Not theory. Not concepts. Real tools for real leadership situations.

03

Your Network

Connect with growth-minded leaders from across New Zealand. The best teams are built on strong connections. Live2Lead is where those connections start.

Who Should Attend?

From the Shop Floor to the Boardroom

Every great team starts with individuals who chose to grow. Live2Lead is for anyone ready to take that step.

Employee

Aspiring Leader

You are ready to step up and make your mark. You want to lead well before you have the title, because the best leaders earn it before it is given.

Manager

Team Leader

You are responsible for people and performance. Live2Lead gives you the tools to get more from your team and more from yourself without burning anyone out.

Leader

Senior Executive

You have done the work to get here. Live2Lead sharpens your edge, refreshes your thinking, and reminds you why the work matters in the first place.
