A 4-month structured journey combining leadership content, practical application, expert coaching and a peer network with C-level guest speakers.
Most leadership training fades within weeks. Next Gen Leadership is built differently — structured across 4 months so skills are practiced, tested and embedded in real situations.
Lasting behavior change, built over months — not a one-day high. Between sessions, participants apply new approaches with their actual teams and bring the results back to the group.
Practice with real teams between sessions, then bring it back to the group. The GROW coaching model, DiSC dynamics and executive presence are all practiced in your real working environment.
A peer group and access to senior leaders that outlasts the program. Participants consistently report that the connections made during the program become lasting professional relationships.
The program runs in two phases, each designed to shift behavior not just understanding — with fieldwork between every session so new approaches are tested in real situations before the next session begins.
Between sessions: Participants complete structured fieldwork assignments with their real teams — then bring back what happened to the group. Three virtual coaching sessions (2h each) provide additional reflection and support between the in-person days.
