ABOUT MARG
Meet Marg Lange
Business Strategist. | Educator. | Connector.
After spending years helping organisations grow through business development and relationship strategy, Marg returned to schools in 2024 after 30 years in the business world to better understand the challenges facing today's young people.
What she discovered was a growing gap between academic success, emotional wellbeing, and workplace readiness.
Get the Lead was born from a simple belief:
Young people deserve more than academic knowledge alone.
They deserve the confidence, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and human connection skills needed to thrive in life, work, and relationships.

The Workforce Is Changing
AI is reshaping how work gets done.
At the same time, employers are reporting increasing challenges attracting, onboarding and retaining younger workers.
Your technical skills matter.
Human skills matter more.
Helping organisations bridge the gap between digital capability and human capability.
The Challenge:
Many organisations are discovering that Gen Z’s technical competence alone is no longer enough.
Communication, collaboration, confidence, relationship-building, emotional intelligence, and professional presence remain essential workplace skills.
Gen Z on the other hand missed these vital soft skills that are normally learnt working full time in an office having graduated during COVID and then thrown into hybrid working environments.
The Solutions
There are human soft skills that Ai cannot replace. As AI automates more transactional tasks, human skills are becoming the new competitive advantage.
The ability to build relationships, communicate effectively, demonstrate emotional intelligence, influence others, navigate workplace dynamics, and create trust will increasingly determine who thrives in the future of work.
Workshop and Professional Development Training
Get the Lead at Work helps organisations develop these capabilities in emerging talent,equipping young professionals with the confidence, communication skills, and professional presence needed to succeed in an AI-enabled world.
