Leading Edge “challenged me to look at my leadership through a broader lens and given me practical ways to evolve. The balance of validation and stretch has been powerful. I’m walking away not only with more confidence in who I am as a leader, but also with a clearer view of where I can continue to improve and how to get there”.

YOUR LEADING EDGE JOURNEY
Setting out
The journey begins with a launch that sparks inspiration and introduces Leading at the Edge®️ and an opportunity to meet your fellow leaders and guides.
Preparing for the Climb
Personal reflection, taksk and diagnostics help each leader set a true learning purpose and define the change they want to create.
Residential Program 1
A two-day immersive retreat provides the leadership foundation and skills needed to tackle the learning and challenges ahead.
Residential Program 2
The second two-day residential retreat is designed to build on the skills developed in Residential 1 and extend your knowledge for greater impact.
Guided Support
Along the way, personal coaching sessions keep leaders focused, supported and challenged. Your personal coach focuses on your specific goals.
The Summit Challenge
Practice and refine your new leadership skills on a real-world challenge project for a charity partner with a small team of peers from the program.
Sharing the Story
The Presentation Skills workshop is a unique component that prepares leaders to inspire others by presenting the charity project to an audience.
Celebration
The journey culminates in a celebration event that recognises achievements and showcases the change created via the presentation of the Charity Project.
Legacy
While the expedition may be over, the leadership journey is not. Leading Edge alumni continue to provide impact inside the Leading Edge community and beyond.
