The Adaptive Leadership Program is built around a gap, between what a plan says on paper and what a team can actually bring itself to do.
You've sat in that meeting. Everyone nods along to the plan. Three weeks later nothing's actually moved, and nobody can quite say why.
Somewhere in the room, someone already sensed what came next would cost something: a hard conversation, a change nobody asked for, a step outside how things have always run. So the room found a quiet way around it. Another working group. Another meeting about the meeting.
We've done it ourselves. It's a very reasonable thing for a room to do.
Over three days in Melbourne, with 23 other people working on the same thing, you'll learn to spot that gap before it stalls your team again, and how to hold a room through the discomfort of closing it.
Delivered by The Equality Project (EQPR), in collaboration with the Centre for Civil Dialogue (CCD), and led by facilitator Taryn Sexton.
"I was sceptical at first, thinking it would be another set of empty leadership slides. I was wrong. The biggest shift for me was learning to slow down, step back onto the 'balcony', and diagnose what was actually happening. It completely changed how I approach team dynamics and what gets us stuck in a complex environment." – 2025 program participant
