Imagine a world consisting of emotionally intelligent workforces, full of resilient and confident leaders.

The EDGE develops and nurtures people to help them thrive, lead and deliver top performance, even in the face of uncertainty and instability.

Here's the truth.

The world around us is changing at an incredible speed.

 

And as leaders, we need adaptable & agile businesses.

But this can only happen if we have adaptable & agile people.

So how exactly are successful leaders upskilling their teams to develop the mindset, skills and capabilities required for a rapidly-changing future, while continuing to lead their business?

The solution.

The EDGE: a transformative development journey, built around your team’s busy schedule, that drives behaviour change, improves performance and enhances impact.

Take your talent to the next level, in an affordable & scalable way.

The EDGE is a fully interactive, live 10 month online programme that empowers corporate managers to take control of their own development, creates accountability and encourages community, to make growth happen FAST.

Measurable Gains

Designed for a modern workforce facing real-world challenges, The EDGE will measurably increase your team’s performance within 6 months, with noticeable improvements after just 4 weeks. You'll receive regular quarterly reports so you can keep informed of your team's engagement and performance.

Hands-on, interactive and practical learning with dynamic, inspirational and highly-effective training and resources curated by top experts, including the core skill sets needed for emerging leaders to thrive in 2024 and beyond.

“This is not just another leadership program. The EDGE program covers the aspects of an individual self-management. You need to be able to lead yourself before you can lead others.”

Freedom for leaders:

  • 2-5 hrs of time back per week due to fewer requests for 1 to 1s.
  • A more independent, influential team who need support only on the big stuff.
  • Focused people who manage themselves and their time, bringing you decisions rather than open questions.
  • Creative problem solvers who can reframe setbacks into opportunities to always move projects forward.
  • A team that is more productive and self-regulating under pressure.
  • Peace of mind that your team are getting the support to become better business leaders.

“The EDGE helps round off the average workers edges and gives them the tools to become a valuable asset.”

Profile photo of Damian Kula"The EDGE is a worthwhile program for a multitude of reasons. Some being that it takes people out of their comfort zones and asks for participation. They preach for involvement and praise the willing for doing so. It's important to understand that you will only get out what you put in and with the diverse trainers having all sorts of backgrounds it makes it easier to relate or peak interest."
