Who is it for?

Typically, participants come to the course:-

• As part of a company management development plan.
• To meet a specific individual training or development need.
• Because they are seen as having significant potential and “headroom” in the organisation.
• To find out more about how we work and see if we are as good as we say we are.

Duration

The course begins on Sunday afternoon and ends at 1.00pm on Friday.  The hours are long with evening work on most days, but we normally have Wednesday afternoon free for reflection and recreation.  The duration and the intensity are a key part of why the course has the impact it does.

Numbers

We limit the number of participants to 12, and we have 2 trainers actively involved throughout.  This creates an intimate environment which helps people get the most from the course.

We are unusual

Our participative and challenging methods quickly create an appetite for self-discovery and we do a few interesting things:

• We ban people from talking about their jobs and organisations, until the end of the course.
• We work with the heart as well as the head.
• We get people working for 12 hours a day and enjoying it.
• We have a highly flexible approach – using a core framework and varying the specific content to meet group and individual needs.
