Senior leaders within organisations often feel isolated and unsupported.  They are frequently the people who others look to for the 'answers', and as a result they seldom feel they have the flexibility to experiment with new and innovative ways of working or to display uncertainty at times of crisis. 

In response to this, the Hillary Leadership Programme is constructed to provide a forum where these senior leaders can let their guard down, ask difficult questions, explore novel ideas and practice new behaviours.

Real change in your leadership thinking and action doesn't happen by looking in the mirror or just within your own backyard. In stepping out of your everyday context, new light can be shed on challenges and fresh insights gained from other participants who share similar leadership responsibilities but within very different industries and organisations. 

However new insights mean nothing unless they are acted upon. This programme has been designed to walk alongside you in your own leadership context. In this sense, it is not 'just another commitment to fit in' but is intentionally weaved into the work that you are already doing within your organisation or community in a way that transforms the way you see and enact leadership. 

The programme is very purposefully named after Excelerator's patron Sir Edmund Hillary in order to encourage you to take courageous risks, break new ground, sustain a commitment to working with complex challenges and create impact beyond your immediate environment.
