A flexible and personalized leadership course that offers modular learning and development for established leaders.
Meridian is an experiential leadership programme for senior leaders.
Meridian develops leaders with the skills, networks and understanding to make an impact in their organization and across their city. The programme uses a real-world experiential approach. We convene leaders from every corner of the city to share honest accounts of their leadership challenges. We take participants to places and organizations where they can explore how leaders approach complex change in different contexts.
The learning process facilitates constant exposure to each other, to the guest contributors and to the experience of operating in very unfamiliar situations.
Spanning a five month period, Meridian offers a flexible modular format that means leaders can tailor it to meet their individual needs and to match their diaries.
The course includes three full days when all of the participants gather - at the start, midpoint and end of the course. In addition, each leader chooses from over 20 events to explore a huge range of real-life challenges - based in anything from a prison to a casualty unit; a trading floor to a production plant; a small business incubator to a radio station.
The learning process facilitates constant exposure to each other, to the guest contributors and to the experience of operating in very unfamiliar situations.
“I am certainly more self aware than I was at the start of the programme. I believe this will change and already has changed my interactions with people. I also see the world in a much bigger context. I have the drive to now dream big.”
Meridian is for established leaders who are already experienced at delivering objectives and managing people and priorities. It is ideal for leaders who are responsible for developing partnerships, engaging with internal or external stakeholders, working across several locations, divisions or countries or who simply need to broaden their horizons.
Meridian participants complete a minimum of 60 hours of learning. On each course day, the participants meet at a different venue within the area to give them a range of perspectives. On the three core days - at the start, mid-point and end - participants look at why, where and how they lead and at how their biases influence their leadership. Between the core days, participants select from a series of half-day modules.
Participants can choose to do some of their hours on a Meridian course in other international cities.
