About Me
Hello and welcome. A few things you should know about me. I'm a former primary teacher specialising in student leadership development. I'm better known as the author of 12 parenting books and as a keynote speaker and presenter at parenting conferences worldwide. But for over 30 years, I've also worked in student leadership, working with students, teachers and principals. I've designed and written many programs that teachers can use to help their students develop agency and leadership.
“For more than three decades, Michael Grose has been at the forefront of supporting educators, parents, and young people. His Young Leaders Program is a fabulous foundation for a new generation of Australian leaders.”
— Dr. Justin Coulson, Director of Happy Families
What people are saying
The Young Leader’s Program’s framework is comprehensive, the activities are practical and fun, and teachers are skilfully guided from start to finish. I would have loved for both of our children to have had access to this program.”
— Dr. Jodi Richardson, Author, Educator, Podcaster
“It’s astounding that so many schools reinvent the student leadership wheel when a resource like the Young Leaders Program is readily available. Michael Grose’s work has long been the benchmark for building leadership skills in all students, not just those who wear a badge.“
— Adam Voigt, CEO Real Schools
“There’s been a huge improvement in our senior students’ leadership since we began using the Young Leaders Program. The framework is terrific, allowing us to build a strong student leadership culture at Mackellar PS.”
