about the program

“After more than 22 years consulting to business leaders on the link between strong leadership and business results, we created Obsidian Leaders in response to a need for more structured development for Executive Leaders. Obsidian Leaders delivers a comprehensive program built around the core competencies of Executive Leadership facilitated by a CEO with extensive leadership experience and incorporating personal profiling and development planning. This combination of structured learning and peer learning delivers exceptional opportunities for Leaders to accelerate their personal growth and career development."

program structure

Year One of the Program commences with the completion of a Behavioural Profiling exercise and one-on-one debrief to review the results and commence your personal development plan.

This is followed by ten facilitated group workshops discussing the topics outlined here.

At the completion of the ten workshops a follow-up one-on-one session updates on the progress of your personal development plan.

Year Two of the Program continues with a further ten facilitated workshops delving further into critical areas of Executive Leadership as well as exploring increasingly complex topic areas.

Members are invited to continue into Years Three & Four where they will work together to solve the most critical issues they are facing in increasingly complex times.

At each stage of the program the structured learning will be complemented by formal and informal networking opportunities both within their own cohorts and with the broader Obsidian Leaders community.

All members will be invited to participate in a number of different networking events held througout the year in both Sydney and Melbourne. We also encourage informal communication and connection between workshops between members of a cohort to share learnings and support one another to problem solve current challenges.
