HOW WE BUILD LEADERS

Scaling is not growth.

Scaling increases output faster than resources.

Scaling demands Elevating Leadership.

Growth adds resources to increase output.

of scaling organisations stall due to decision bottlenecks, slowing execution and accelerating talent attrition (McKinsey). As companies scale, pressure, complexity, and visibility intensify.

Leadership behaviours that worked in early stages become constraints.

Testimonials

The Elevated Leadership Training on stress management, boundaries, energy sustainability, and decision-making was transformative. Key benefits: to better understand my energy levels, strengthen boundaries, and make more self-aware decisions, both internally and externally. The practical tools I gained have already made a significant difference in my daily leadership approach and my ability to sustain energy in demanding environments. A huge benefit was the interactive format and the genuine, professional coaching from the hosts. Bahar, Mantas, Joe, and Inga brought a wealth of expertise and empathy, making the experience deeply impactful. They not only taught us skills but also connected with each participant, creating a supportive learning environment. Thank you to each of them for an incredible experience that I believe will bring long-term benefits to my career and well-being.

We are proud to have Joe contribute to our team at EY and would fully endorse him as a contributor to your team too. Joe's passion for building leaders and teams perform their best is contagious. During a training session he led for our Senior technology leadership group that was truly global in nature (as we had people from all over the world visit), Joe's energy for sharing stories and lessons from his Olympic success established a positive connection with our leaders that is still in place today. The key themes and challenges that we are faced with namely long term vision focus, dealing with large scale disruption, leading and managing change were all dealt with Joe's ability to connect the dots resonated very well. Throughout his program, Joe framed his elite experience paddling rivers as an innovative metaphor for helping our team to overcome obstacles and improve performance.

Like-minded people who's ready to make a change in their own leadership - an extremely high value that this course provided. On top of that - high performing coaches, coming from diverse professional experiences and backgrounds make this program easy to relate, to learn new ways of thinking and to challenge ourselves in the best way possible. I had an amazing chance to re-think the ways I operate and approach life's challenges thanks to this course.

I was in a weird place mentally when I started the program, and I didn't expect anything in particular, beyond the hope that ELI would help me get unstuck. It's the whole sum of impressions, insights, and live experiences that did it for me, including after the program ended. It takes time, but it's also effortless, and it works. Trust the process.
