Purpose:

To offer the rare and deep knowledge and practises for transformation to leaders who are dedicated and intrigued by leading purposeful organisations.

Structure:

A one-year programme consisting of three workshop modules, monthly individual coaching and working with a personal project.

Created and offered by The Mind at Work’s founding directors Darren Rudkin and Pascale Ascher.

Participant Background:

This programme is for senior leaders interested in:

• Moving beyond the fundamentals of working with purpose in The Mind at Work’s organisational or open programmes.  
• Significantly expanding their capacity and capability to realise substantial purposes, create remarkable results and find meaningfulness in their careers.  
• Working with the invisible elements of transformation.

In addition, the programme is for those leaders who have a curiosity for the unknown, an inclination for the non-conventional and an appetite and willingness to learn and grow.     

Programme Overview:

The Alchemists programme offers the experience, knowledge and practises that inspire, embolden and equip leaders to be a source of excellence, inventiveness and the remarkable in life and work.

The focus is on developing leaders as catalysts for transformation by working with shifts in perception, inhabiting a state of creativity, generating a deep willingness to adventure and risk, and building a robust wisdom to work with forces that both limit and empower. 

These faculties will be discovered and practised during the year. In addition, the workshop modules are a unique, experiential learning opportunity that offer:

• Transformative tools which elevate teamwork, problem-solving, innovation and delivery.
• Development of instinct and intuition.
• Working with invisible forces that liberate, focus, strengthen and foster remarkable results.
• Engaging with dilemmas and strengthening decision-making capability in new ways.
• A cross-organisational community with substantial and unique support and experience.
• Knowledge gained from varied disciplines including psychology, systems approaches, diagnostic tools, philosophy and innovation.
• Rare counsel for organisational and personal dilemmas. 
• Strengthened confidence to pursue purposes whilst meeting challenges and difficulties.
