about the Program
The Obsidian Leaders Program has been designed to maximise development through a combination of structured learning and fostering relationships and community.
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.
The investment required to become an Obsidian Leader and complete Year One of the Program is $15,000 + GST. The full amount is payable prior to the first session commencing.
