A unique Approach

The Method
MENTupLEADup® Leadership Model
A Unique Approach

Built by a founder who has lived every stage of business leadership.

Our Founder and Executive Chair, Michelle Lestas, champions one of the most powerful approaches to small business strategic leadership to emerge this century — "In Business With Yourself" (2021), Orpen Press.

The resulting MENTupLEADup® approach transcends industries, placing Business Leadership Training, Coaching, Mentoring and Consulting at the heart of business success — for leaders of every type:

Introduced Through the Business Support Sector

MENTupLEADup® is often introduced through organisations operating within the business support sector, including business development organisations, enterprise programmes and leadership initiatives working alongside small business leaders.

These organisations use the MENTupLEADup® leadership model to provide a consistent, credible framework for leadership development, helping to establish shared language, standards and expectations across programmes and contexts.

Through this route, individuals are introduced to a structured leadership model that can be engaged with directly and sustained over time, while organisations benefit from an approach that supports continuity, quality and long‑term leadership capability without reliance on one‑off interventions.
