  • New skills, frameworks and tools to become a more effective leader
  • A broader outlook and a clear sense of direction and goals
  • A unique learning environment that enables implementation of skills in the business
  • Learn how to build trusting relationships based on clear expectations and support, that allow your team to perform at their very best

Structure & format

The programme consists of six half-day workshops, occurring fortnightly.

At the start and end of the 12-week programme, the owner-manager and programme participant meet with an Icehouse coach

The session format includes small and large group work, one-on-one discussions, a business simulation and guest speakers while working around themes of self-awareness, personal effectiveness, leadership & business understanding.

Facilitators & presenters

You'll have two programme directors alongside you for the duration of the programme.

In addition, we'll bring through subject matter experts, business owners, industry leaders and more to

Each block features an Owner Manager guest speaker. This creates an opportunity to share in another Owner Manager’s business experience and gain insights and learnings to apply to your business.

About the other participants

You'll be joined by up to 15 other managers at a similar stage in their journey as you. We'll make sure there are no conflicts in the room, meaning everyone can speak freely.

 

This also ensures the room is full of people from different industries, as often the ideas that create the greatest positive change come from places you wouldn't normally look.

"Because I want things to go right, I always want to have my finger in every pie. This programme reminded me that I need to remember my guys and subcontractors are good.

They can hold parts of the load to help get us to our shared goals and individual targets as well."
