Programme Summary

C  CHALLENGE

E  EXPLORE

O  OPPORTUNITY

  • Do you want to challenge yourself further?
  • Are you ready to explore your next level of leadership potential?
  • Are you ready to take this opportunity of self-discovery?

If you are ready for this journey of leadership self-discovery and growth, we are here for you.

No-one is born a CEO!

Limitless is purposeful in providing an opportunity for CEOs in the High-Performance Community to unlock and maximise their potential. To be even more effective, authentic, purposeful leaders who can strategically and impactfully drive a world leading organisation for their sport and/or nation.

 

Our focus and aim of the programme?

  • Every individual in their leadership competence and impact
  • Each individual on the programme is better equipped to navigate the ‘VUCA’ world of Volatility – Uncertainty – Complexity – Ambiguity
  • Each individual builds a personal network of trusted connections within our community

 

Who is the programme for?

Whether you aspire to be a CEO and have 3-4 years senior executive experience, are just starting out as a CEO or looking to reinvigorate yourself as a CEO, this programme is aimed at all CEOs.   If you are looking to be better than your current self and want to have even more impact, this programme is for you.

The programme focusses on three key areas which increase a CEOs ability to lead their organisation to greater success…the ‘Me - Leading self, the ‘We’ – leading others, and the ‘Us’ – leading organisations with professional magic moments interjected throughout, tailored for the CEO role.
