 Leading From Purpose - Core Program

Evolve your leadership skills and create a plan for navigating the next normal in which people, planet and profit are the keys to sustainable success.

Leading From Purpose

This program is an evolutionary journey designed to foster the capabilities required to lead and impact teams and organizations during times of constant, complex change. Using our CLUETM process (Complexity, Liminality, Uncertainty, Emergence), participants are guided through personal liminal space to make the shifts characteristic of purposeful transformation. This journey invites leaders to ignite their high-impact leadership identity by discovering the power of purpose, and  then kick-starting change in self, team, and the wider organization.  Leaders will design practical prototypes in service of their specific team and organizational purpose as well as what is emerging  as part of their preferred future.

Class size limited to 08 - 12  participants - we are focused on your learning. Secure these benefits now!

Through a series of online instructor-led experiences over three months, leaders develop and refine their ability to find the awareness and clarity needed to embrace complexity and meet the emerging future.

There are approximately 2 weeks between each module to allow for learning, experimentation, conversations in Communities of Practice and Impact, coaching, and task completion before meeting again. All modules include practical work to be completed before sessions. A final presentation by participants will enrich and solidify learning.

*Larger cohorts may require sessions up to 3 hours.

Our Signature

Development Process

  • Propelled by Purpose – we believe when participants discover and unify their individual purpose with organizational purpose, they become well prepared to undertake the transformational journey that 21st C leaders must engage to lead in a turbulent and uncertain world. Such personal  transformations are a necessary precursor to any wider organizational and systematic transformation.
  • Transformational by Designwhile knowledge acquisition and skill-building are integral to the process, participants are guided to move beyond incremental, tactical changes to undertake the deeper self-reflection needed to traverse the liminal space which lies at the heart of the transformational journey. Course participants uncover and discover new ways of thinking and being that allow them to inspire, co-create and innovate for the emerging future.
  • Intended for Impact - participants encountering transformation through this process will  co-create prototypes specific to their organizational purpose, which are designed to make net positive impacts in their organizations and wider stakeholder ecosystems.
  • Tailored to You - our small group size and individual attention allows participants to receive the attention they need to support their individual transformational journeys.
