Energise and motivate your people to perform at their best
Develop a strong workplace culture when everyone is everywhere
"Overall I cannot rate this experience more highly and I feel that this is only the beginning of a journey, not only professionally but personally. There is still, of course room for self improvement, lots of it, but for me it's about accepting that I don't always need to get everything perfect and life is a journey."
— Claudia Haeger, executive at Tennis Victoria
Designed for high-achievers, backed by science
It's one thing to know what skills people need to succeed in the future of work. It's another thing to empower people with them. Our program has undergone rigorous testing and iteration to maximise outcomes for each participant.
5
Years of research and development
In our search for how to best teach people uniquely human skills, we tested online platforms, ran focus groups and researched, researched, researched. And we continue to explore new and effective ways of delivering the best learning experiences the world has to offer.
148k
Kilometers travelled
Old models of skill sharing didn't work, so we started searching for what did. We journeyed the world in search of the best advice on training design. We met with expert sources as diverse as MIT Media Labs, schools of the Nordics and the University of NSW. All to bring you a program that actually works.
16
Countries visited
If you want to change your perspective, you have to get out of your bubble. In designing this program, we realised how crucial diverse perspectives are to being better humans. So far we've visited 16 countries in our mission to build our global collective. And the search continues — 16 down, 179 to go.
400+
Participants graduated from the program
Our program is no first draft. We've run pilots and prototypes, constantly iterating wherever there's room for improvement. We've taken on feedback from senior executives and teams spanning countries, industries and sectors. Thanks to them, you can experience the program we have today.
Take your people to new heights
Your program has been crafted into three content streams based on the skills every leader or high-achiever needs to reach their full potential: adaptability, collaboration and building a global mindset. You're supported by expert coaches and a like-minded cohort every step of the way.
