Four days away: the Master Graduate and Heart of a Samurai programs

The Master Graduate Leadership Program is an immersive, four-day retreat-style course. According to the company, graduates leave with leadership tools for getting the most from their own potential, keeping attention on positive outcomes and building high-performance teams, both at work and in their personal lives. Heart of a Samurai is presented in the same terms: a four-day retreat-style program with the same stated goals.

Game Changer for people who want to shift relationships

Game Changer is a two-day experiential program. It uses a series of videos and is led by facilitators whom the company has certified itself. The company says newly trained participants learn to improve their relationships and situations by accepting personal responsibility for their professional, relational, financial and physical wellbeing. It adds that past graduates can use the course to renew their commitment, while newcomers learn to challenge the status quo.

Cougar Quest for teenagers

Cougar Quest is a four-day leadership program for young people aged 13 to 17. It combines classroom sessions with outdoor learning, and asks teenagers to step outside their comfort zone, stay focused on outcomes and take responsibility for their choices.

Coaching and the Givers Gain route

Alongside the group courses, the company says it specializes in one-to-one guided life coaching, designed to help a person raise their own game. Graduates who want to go further can join the Givers Gain Program, which lets them take part "on team" for classes they have already attended, helping the training team deliver programs to new participants.

How the company talks about its approach

The firm's own language centers on choosing new behaviors when the current ones are not producing results, staying focused on the outcome and acting without delay. Its site also invites people to nominate a friend or colleague for the training and to start with a free trial.
