WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE ELP
WHY CHOOSE THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME?
EXPERTISE YOU DON’T COME ACROSS EVERY DAY
The Executive Leadership Programme has assembled a diverse range of speakers who are leaders in their fields. This is not a run-of-the-mill leadership programme!
PEER LEARNING AT ITS MOST POWERFUL
Stimulating, dynamic and interactive peer learning enables participants to distil what they have heard from industry experts, share experiences, hear from others, and then apply the insights to their own leadership context – for the benefit of you, your people, and your business.
A FOCUS ON TURNING INSIGHTS TO ACTION
Our process focuses on turning the insights gained by participants into tangible business outcomes. Each session will conclude with participants reflecting on what they have learnt from the session and identifying what actions they intend to take as a result. In the subsequent session, participants will be held accountable by sharing the progress on their actions and the impact those actions are having. This process is reinforced through the personal executive coaching sessions. As the sponsor of your participants, you can expect to see a positive impact and a clear, tangible, return on your investment.
WORLD-CLASS EXECUTIVE COACHING
Participants will have three one-hour one-on-one executive coaching sessions at the beginning, middle, and end of the programme to ensure they get the most from their professional development experience and apply what they learn to their own leadership and strategic organisational context.
A FORMAT BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE AND WORK COMMITMENTS
Over 26 weeks, participants will attend ten scheduled half-day expert-led, peer learning sessions and three one-hour one-on-one executive coaching sessions via Teams at a time that suits. This enables participants to fit the Executive Leadership Programme in and around their existing life and work commitments and apply the learning progressively in real time during and beyond the programme. Pre-work is kept to a minimum, and there are no assessed projects or extensive reading required.
TWO FORMATS, SAME CONTENT
Our face-to-face programme format is delivered in Auckland. For those outside Auckland who are unable to commit to regular travel, we intend to introduce a hybrid programme that mixes face-to-face and online virtual classroom delivery. If you are interested in the Executive Leadership Programme (hybrid), please contact us to register your interest.
BECOME A MEMBER OF THE WEAVE® COMMUNITY
While undertaking the Executive Leadership Programme, participants become members of the Weave® Community. The Weave® Community brings together Business Leaders Group members, speakers, and Executive Leadership Programme participants and faculty for occasional networking and keynote events.
