Many practice owners have spent years becoming technically excellent.
Then they've developed the skills to become trusted advisors.
But leading other people through that same journey requires another shift entirely.
Leadership means helping others build confidence.
Creating consistency.
Developing judgement.
Providing coaching instead of answers.
Creating systems instead of dependency.
That's what this programme is designed to help you do.

The programme is delivered across practical phases, each building on the last to help you develop the skills and confidence of a trusted advisory team leader.
Develop the leadership skills needed to build an empowered advisory team that performs without depending on you. Learn how to delegate effectively, coach advisors, maintain quality and consistency, lead through change and create a scalable advisory function within your practice
Learn how to identify, recruit and develop the right people for advisory roles, while creating a motivated, engaged team that delivers consistent value to clients. You'll also discover how to successfully lead your firm through the transition from compliance to advisory
Discover what it takes to thrive within a collaborative advisory team. You'll learn how to work confidently with colleagues, coach clients through change, communicate consistently, exercise professional judgement and contribute to an exceptional client experience as part of a united advisory team.


Who is this programme for?
This programme is ideal for..
You've completed the Technician to Advisor Programme
You're leading a team delivering advisory
You want advisors to think for themselves rather than relying on you
You want greater consistency across every client conversation
You'd like to delegate more advisory meetings with confidence
You're building a business that grows beyond one person
The Leadership Programme is included as part of the APX Advisory Teams Mentorship and forms the second stage of your advisory learning pathway.

Designed for Learning and Implementation
Watching training is not the same as changing the way a firm operates.
The mentorship combines flexible learning with live support so that you can understand the principles, apply them in your own practice and build them into the way your team works.

A membership gives you access to content and resources to work through at your own pace. A mentorship combines those resources with a structured learning pathway, live workshops, practical implementation, expert guidance and ongoing support to help you apply what you learn and achieve real results. At APX, we focus on transformation, not just access.
No. The pathway supports people moving from technical delivery into advisory, as well as established advisors who now need to build capability across a team.
Yes. The practice owner or leader completes the programme first to understand and implement the APX methodology. Team members then join and follow the learning pathways relevant to their role.
You attend weekly live implementation workshops designed to help you work through the APX pathway, apply the learning and maintain momentum. Replays are available when you cannot attend live.
Cohorts are planned for:
September to November
February to April
May to July
Yes.. You'll have access to the full Programme and learning library, monthly Financial Strategy Sessions, community, Polly AI Coach and all resources. The live cohorts are designed to accelerate implementation, but the mentorship and support continue all year round.
Each month focuses on one practical financial strategy. You’ll complete the e-learning, attend a live workshop, implement the strategy and submit a case study to demonstrate your understanding. Successful completion earns you the relevant APX badge, certificate or accreditation.
Polly is the APX AI learning coach. She is trained around the APX methodology and can help you explore your learning, think through questions and prepare for implementation. She does not replace professional judgement or the live support available through APX.
It is a collection of client-facing business education courses that firms can make available to their clients. The library helps clients understand key business concepts, supports advisory conversations and reduces the need to answer the same foundational questions repeatedly.
The mentorship has an initial 12-month commitment. After that, it continues on a month-to-month basis.
Cohorts are three times a year and you are free to join any of these whilst your subscription is active. Replays are made available through the APX portal.
Yes the training programmes are CPD accredited
Yes. You can book a discovery call with Tim and Deb to discuss your firm, your goals and whether the mentorship is appropriate for you.
