Leading the Way - GeeseA year-long talent development opportunity for your high potential staff to stretch themselves and develop new skills and confidence. Often ambitious, young and impatient to progress, HiPo provides a perfect opportunity to develop and recognise the talent of the high potential people who could be your future managers and leaders.

“I strongly recommend HiPo. Individuals explore their strengths and weaknesses in a safe, constructive environment and take something away from every well-managed, engaging activity or discussion. [HiPo has] … given me the determination and confidence to make a difference and facilitate positive change”   (AM)

“It’s hard to articulate just what a difference this program has made to me, both in and out of work. All our training days were in every way fantastically organised – everything from paperwork and equipment to outdoor activities and catering was spot on. We got honest feedback, situations that stretched our abilities, opportunities to push our boundaries, lots of challenges to our normal ways of thinking, sound strategies and guidance for making changes both in work and in our personal lives” (RH SunGard)

“[You have] a wonderful ability to listen to people and empathise with their situation which when applied with your training knowledge is an incredibly powerful tool towards helping people reach their goals”  (JW)
