Expertise you don’t come across every day
The Weave ELP has assembled a diverse range of speakers that are leaders in their fields. This is not a run of the mill leadership programme!
Peer learning at its most powerful
Stimulating, dynamic and interactive peer learning enables you to distil what you have heard from industry experts, share your experiences, hear from others, and then apply the insights to your own leadership context – for the benefit of you, your people, and your business.
A format built around your life and work commitments
Over 26 weeks, you will participate 10 scheduled half-day expert-led, peer learning sessions and three one-hour one-on-one executive coaching sessions via Teams at a time that suits you. This enables you to fit the Weave ELP in and around your existing life and work commitments and apply the learning progressively in real time during and beyond the programme. Pre-work is kept to a minimum and there are no assessed projects or extensive reading required.
World-class executive coaching
You will have three one-hour one-on-one executive coaching sessions at the beginning, middle, and end of the programme to ensure you get the most from your professional development experience and apply what you learn into your own leadership and strategic organisational context.
