Small-cohort intensives run in Victoria for leaders who already have the title but want sharper instincts, better decisions and teams that actually follow through.

Our approach
Every program follows the same structure because it works. Participants move through four phases with the same group of eight to twelve peers. No drop-in sessions. No passive webinars. Each phase builds on the last, and the work between sessions matters as much as the sessions themselves.
We interview each participant, their direct reports and one board-level stakeholder. The resulting profile maps blind spots, communication defaults and decision patterns before the first group session.
Weeks two through five use scenario-based exercises drawn from real crises in Australian organisations. Participants make calls under time pressure, then debrief with the cohort. No case studies from textbooks.
Weeks six through nine ask each leader to run a change initiative inside their own organisation, with fortnightly coaching check-ins. The cohort holds each other accountable for progress.
The final three weeks repeat the diagnostic from phase one. Participants see what shifted. We produce a written development brief that their organisation can use for the next twelve months.
What we run
For leaders in their first two years at C-suite or GM level. Covers stakeholder mapping, board communication, and the shift from managing functions to leading an organisation. Runs quarterly, twelve weeks per cohort.
Next intake: March 2026 · 10 seats
Designed for executives with five or more years at senior level who are leading a restructure, merger integration, or market pivot. The cohort is capped at eight so the work stays specific to each participant's situation.
Next intake: May 2026 · 8 seats
A bespoke engagement for an entire leadership team. We run the twelve-week program inside your organisation, with sessions tailored to your strategic priorities. Minimum five participants from the same company.
Scheduling by arrangement · Custom pricingMeasured outcomes
We survey every participant at the end of the program and again six months later. Their direct reports complete a separate feedback instrument. These figures come from the 2023-2025 cohorts (147 participants across 16 groups).
Six members of the executive team completed the board-team intensive during a period of significant service restructuring. Within four months, the group had reduced their average meeting cycle from fortnightly three-hour sessions to weekly 75-minute stand-ups, while maintaining decision quality scores above their pre-program baseline.
The newly appointed COO joined our quarterly cohort eight weeks into her role. Her 360-degree feedback at program end showed a 31-point improvement in "strategic clarity" as rated by her five direct reports. She credits the pressure simulation exercises with forcing her to articulate priorities she had been leaving implicit.
Common questions
Eight to twelve participants per group. We cap enrolment deliberately. Once a cohort fills, the next available intake opens roughly ten weeks later. This keeps the group small enough that every person gets direct facilitator time during each session.
In-person sessions run at our training space in Oliverstad, Victoria. Coaching check-ins during the live application phase happen over video. The board-team intensive can be delivered at your premises anywhere in Australia.
Plan for one full day per fortnight during phases one and two, plus roughly three hours of between-session preparation. During the live application phase, the commitment drops to a 90-minute coaching call every two weeks, though the real work happens inside your organisation.
Yes. We offer group pricing when three or more leaders from the same company enrol together. If five or more are interested, the private board-team intensive is usually a better fit because we can tailor the scenarios to your specific strategic context.
Full refund if you withdraw more than 21 days before the cohort start date. Between 21 and 7 days, we refund 50%. Inside seven days, no refund, but you can transfer your place to the next available cohort at no extra cost. Details are in our terms of service.
