The Voyager Program

Transformational learning tailored for your organization’s top talent

River Run by Jim McManus, Mobius Featured Artist

Take your leaders on an extraordinary journey

Businesses need leaders who are purposeful and transformational. People who can impact their organizations and the world. Leaders who can face our uncertain world and disrupted industries with a steady hand, an inspiring vision, a clear strategy, an agility to adapt, and an authentic presence that holds diverse and virtual workplaces together. Business schools don’t prepare leaders to play this role. By and large, executive education programs don’t either.

We know that knowledge and skills can only take you so far. For experienced leaders to grow, they need respectful challenges to their assumptions, their modes of operation, their blind spots. Sometimes they need help to embrace their greatness. We also know that hypothetical, general examples don’t focus on the specific leadership characteristics that your organization needs to cultivate right now to achieve your business imperatives. The Voyager Program is co-designed with you to reinforce your company’s values and distinctive ethos while fostering the deep shifts your executives need to make to lead your organization into the future.

“The ‘voyage’ is a timeless motif for self-discovery and fulfilling your potential, both as a person and as a leader. As Voyagers we live in a state of  paradox. We need audacity and humility. The hunger to grow and acceptance of where we are now. The urgency to act and the patience to let  things ripen.”

~ ERICA ARIEL FOX, WINNING FROM WITHIN®

Transformational learning led by world-class faculty

  • A customized learning program co-designed with you for your top talent and closely linked to your organization’s values, vision, and business imperatives

  • The only leadership program available based on the New York Times best-selling leadership book Winning From Within, created by Erica Ariel Fox, the global thought leader who wrote the book and developed the proprietary Winning From Within® methodology. Led by the only faculty in the world trained by Erica

  • A strong focus on experiential learning, drawing on a wide set of “right-brain” modalities that bring insights to life and embed learning over time

  • A 3-4 day immersive workshop format that can stand alone, or can be coupled with small group coaching, digital learning or individual development

  • One-on-one expert coaching for each participant, as well as partner and group exercises, breakout groups, team dialogues, and very little lecture

  • Cohorts of between 12-24 people, with a high faculty-to-participant ratio

  • Typically delivered to your top 100-300 senior leaders

“Winning from Within offers a powerful and practical method for character development, a missing link in leadership development that is increasingly essential for new and seasoned executives alike.”
