Frequently Asked Questions

Who should participate in leadership development programs?

Our programs cater to all leadership levels including emerging leaders, middle managers, senior executives, and C-suite teams. We design each program to match the participants' experience level and organisational role, ensuring relevant challenges and appropriate development goals for everyone from first-time supervisors to executive teams.

Are leadership programs fully customisable?

Absolutely. Every program is tailored to your specific organisational goals, leadership competencies, industry context, and team dynamics. We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your needs, then design activities, coaching sessions, and workshops that address your unique challenges and objectives.

What is the ideal group size for leadership programs?

Most programs work best with 8-30 participants, allowing for meaningful interaction and personalised attention. Executive retreats typically suit smaller groups (8-20), while emerging leader programs can accommodate up to 50 participants with additional facilitators. We'll recommend the optimal size based on your program objectives.

How do you measure program effectiveness?

We use multiple assessment methods including pre and post-program 360-degree feedback, leadership competency assessments, behavioural observation, participant self-assessment, and workplace application tracking. We provide comprehensive reports showing individual and team progress, with recommendations for ongoing development.

What makes experiential learning more effective than classroom training?

Experiential learning creates memorable, emotional connections that accelerate skill development and retention. By placing leaders in challenging scenarios that mirror real workplace situations, they develop practical capabilities rather than just theoretical knowledge. The outdoor environment removes workplace distractions and creates psychological safety for experimentation and growth.

Do you offer virtual or hybrid leadership programs?

While our in-person programs deliver the strongest results, we offer virtual leadership workshops and hybrid options combining online coaching with condensed in-person retreats. Contact us to discuss the best format for your situation and objectives.

What's included in program pricing?

All programs include pre-program consultation and assessment, customised activity design, professional facilitation and coaching, all equipment and materials, program documentation, and post-program reports. Multi-day programs include accommodation, meals, and venue hire. Transport to locations can be arranged separately.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 8-12 weeks in advance for single-day programs and 12-16 weeks for multi-day retreats to ensure optimal venue availability and allow time for thorough program customisation. However, we can sometimes accommodate shorter timeframes depending on dates and locations.

What fitness level is required?

We design programs to accommodate all fitness levels. Most activities involve moderate physical activity like walking and team challenges, with alternatives available for different abilities. We'll discuss your group's capabilities during consultation to ensure everyone can participate fully and safely.

Do you offer follow-up coaching after programs?

Yes, we offer various follow-up options including individual executive coaching, team coaching sessions, progress review workshops, and leadership series programs with ongoing development over 6-12 months. Sustained development support significantly increases program ROI and behaviour change.

Can programs address specific leadership challenges?

Absolutely. We regularly design programs targeting specific challenges such as leading through change, difficult conversations, cross-functional collaboration, strategic thinking, innovation leadership, building high-performance cultures, or developing emotional intelligence. Share your specific challenges during consultation.

What industries do you work with?

We've delivered successful leadership programs across diverse industries including healthcare, finance, technology, manufacturing, professional services, retail, government, education, and not-for-profit sectors. Our facilitators adapt content and scenarios to your industry context and organisational culture.
