Kimberley Leadership Adventure – Choose Growth

Kimberley Leadership Adventure – Choose Growth

LET OUR EXPERIENCE SHAPE YOUR EXPERIENCE

“This was an experience of a lifetime.” – Fred Steer, Brookfield Rail

We invite you on a journey of a lifetime.

By deliberately creating physical activities which challenge the individual in a team environment, we can fast-track personal growth and development, compressing major gains in leadership development into a relatively small period of time.

Experience 10 challenging but rewarding days in the Australian outback digging deep and getting out of your comfort zone. Learn how to perform under pressure. Understand how your leadership style impacts others. Build an instant personal and professional network with leaders from around Australia. Do it all while trekking, caving and abseiling in the majestic Kimberley region, home to magnificent gorges, caves and waterfalls 2 billion years in the making.

This program is designed to take your leadership skills to the next level. We’re all about the PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THEORY – this is the opportunity to put everything you know about leadership theory and apply in real time, with real consequences, and receive real and valuable feedback in real-time. This is NOT classroom or workshop based.

It is challenging and it can be confronting… but it is not ‘Survivor’ or ‘Boot Camp’. It is not our intention or purpose to ‘break you’. There’s no humiliation or role play – just ‘real play’, where decisions you make can mean the difference between sleep or no sleep, success or failure. You will be challenged in a safe and supportive environment, and it will stretch you to reach your potential if you want to get there. There’s no greater value than a leadership development program that accelerates your self-awareness, expands your network and provides practical and sustainable leadership skills that can be utilised immediately.

It is Australia’s MOST EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM and designed to ensure you take back and apply lessons learned to the real world, for immediate application. Coaching pre-program and post-program supports your ability to make real changes where you need to, and ongoing mentoring supports you through the change journey.

Whether you seek to find your calling, advance in your career, get through a major life transition or just seek to challenge yourself, the Kimberley Leadership Adventure will provide you with the skills, tools, knowledge and support to make the changes you want.

FIND YOURSELF in the Kimberley.
