Making Meetings Meaningful
One of the conversations we frequently have with leaders and team members relates to the number of meetings they “have to attend”, how time consuming these meetings are and, in many cases, how irrelevant much of the content is to what attendees see as the meeting’s goals. We all know the feeling of arriving at [...]
Leadership and Emotional Health
‘Leadership’ has become a holy grail of the last decade or two. Scores of books, journal articles and research papers have been dedicated to the task of trying to understand what great leadership is and how it might be replicated. There are countless ‘shopping lists’ of outstanding leadership characteristics, with the implication that all one [...]
External brand and leadership brand. How well do yours mesh?
There seems to be a disconnect between the public experience of the Olympic Games and the IOC’s jealous guarding of their symbols.

This usually means breaking away from the ‘standard’ approach to workshops and conferences, and instead giving leaders both time to reflect and time to be heard. To this end we often, within our leadership programs, use a framework called the 'Thinking Environment' to give leaders the opportunity to reflect and be heard on an issue of their choosing.
Why we choose our remote locations
With our next Tetepare Leadership Experience now only a couple of months away, I thought it might be a good time to address one of the most common questions we get about all our leadership experiences. That question is: “Why are these programs so remote?” A frequent related question is “Hasn’t the whole outdoor leadership [...]
