• Do you feel like a misfit, know that something is missing in your career but don’t know what?
• Are you pigeon-holed by your employer or industry – you know your skills can be better used but are stuck on where or how?
• Are you stifled? You know you have a powerful story to share but feel limited in how to construct your personal narrative?
• Do you know you have more to give to the world but you have not taken the time nor had the headspace to work it out?

Then, three days filled with learning, unforgettable experiences, positivity and a community of like-minded women from across the globe await you!

The ‘Crazy, Courageous & Catalytic’ programme is a specially-designed curriculum along with an Urban Retreat, which gives ambitious women the ability to cultivate their leadership skills and redesign their careers in times of unprecedented turmoil. Focusing on:

• Day 1: CRAZY - Seeing Who you ARE Clearly: Building Awareness & Calibrating Language
• Day 2: COURAGEOUS - Acting Strategically: Tools & Bold Moves
• Day 3: CATALYTIC - Leading Transformatively: Generate Authority & Construct YOUR Legacy

Why 'Crazy, Courageous & Catalytic'?

CRAZY:  You are a visionary, non-conformist, unwilling to accept the world as it is yet you are often criticised. This programme helps you reclaim every word that has been used to potentially contain you in the past.

COURAGEOUS: Strategic boldness is not recklessness, and today you need it more than ever. It is the deliberate decision to act, knowing the risk, because the goal matters more than the discomfort.

CATALYTIC: The highest form of leadership. Not just advancing yourself but also accelerating change in others. Catalytic leaders do not just walk through doors; they hold them open.

Held in the city that heralded civilization and which cultured the world’s leading thinkers, innovators, orators and storytellers, Athens, Greece, you will be immersed in and inspired by an experiential learning adventure like no other.

In this 3-day, intimate learning experience, you will discover the tools to help you take charge of your career and your destiny, in a time where the rules may be more unclear than ever.
