The Other Leader

Leadership can be a challenging and elusive concept for many, but The Other Leader program is here to change that.

Whether you're currently in a secondary leadership role or aspiring to take on a more prominent role, The Other Leader is designed to empower you with the tools and confidence you need to step up to the table and take the lead.

The program is built around 12 pillars, which cover everything from self-discovery and personal growth to creating ecosystems for others to thrive and designing high-impact solutions.

The Self pillars aim to provide insights into one's leadership identity and cultivate disciplined thinking habits. 

The Other pillars concentrate on honing skills that elevate others, such as constructing supportive environments, fostering the growth of future leaders, and preserving the respect and honesty of those around you.

The Ecosystem pillars focus on building and designing interdependence, creating high-impact solutions and building communities.

With a flexible approach, you can choose to focus on the pillars that are most important to you, and the program can be customised to meet your specific needs.
