All about challenge
Leadership comprises many elements and we challenge these from the theoretical to the practical. Programs are tailored to each group allowing challenges to be set outside of comfort zones.About
Beyond Leadership provides effective, field tested leadership training custom-made for different contexts.
Leadership opportunities provided to students in our schools have the potential to shape the future leaders of the world, but are we challenging them enough? Are they learning enough? Are they reflective enough? Are they resilient enough?
Educators assume the burden of preparing adolescents for uncertain times when they leave school. Most educational systems are grappling with decisions around what content will be relevant for the school leaver in the early to mid 21stcentury and how best to deliver that content.
Most schools provide leadership opportunities for their students and with those opportunities comes a range of tasks to plan, prepare and execute. Often, there can be less time to reflect and strategize about how to have the most significant impact as a leader.
Using psychological constructs based on extensive research, Beyond Leadership provides students with scenarios that allow for high level experiential learning. Our workshops help to provide guidance for strategic and operational planning relevant to the leadership role the person holds. Simultaneously, we challenge participants to reflect inwardly as we explore negative self-talk and the behaviours we exhibit that either take us away or move us towards being the leader we want to be.
Our workshops explore psychological concepts to help understand how people think and then how that influences their behaviour. We use practical experiences in a variety of settings that provide real time opportunities to develop communication skills, different leadership styles, creativity, and an understanding of social cognition and influence.
