Programme Modules

The Leadership Blueprint runs over nine months. Each module gives you time away from the day job to think clearly, test ideas and plan your next move, alongside peers who understand your world.

It runs as an all-day event at an inclusive space in central London. Lunch and refreshments are included, so you can give your full attention to the work and the conversations that matter.

The programme uses blended learning and between sessions, you’ll take what you’ve learned back to your organisation and use the diagnostics, templates and action plans from each module. That way your progress keeps building throughout the nine months, not just on module days.

With the full investment of £1,495 (+VAT), you’ll join 40+ senior leaders from membership organisations and non-profits.
