PROVEN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
OVER 4000 PARTICIPANTS HAVE EXPERIENCED OUR LEAD THE ENDURANCE: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. MORE THAN 95% WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO A FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE.
PRACTICE THE CORE ELEMENTS OF LEADERSHIP
Typically, companies are not capable of creating leaders and efforts to “teach” leadership often fall short. Rapid leadership development requires insight and practice in actual situations. Our Lead the Endurance leadership development program has helped countless companies instill the core elements of leadership into employees. Your team will learn and practice the extraordinary leadership traits of Sir Ernest Shackleton, resulting in increased workplace engagement, improved morale and bankable assets.
EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES ABOARD THE ENDURANCE
Experience The Greatest Leadership Challenge in The History of Humankind – Join Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary expedition as the crew aboard the Endurance, stranded in the harshest environment on earth during this one-of-a-kind employee development program.
THE HISTORY OF ERNEST SHACKLETON AND THE ENDURANCE
This leadership development program is based on true events and over 100 years of history. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew set sail aboard the Endurance to voyage from England to Antarctica. Encountering ice in the Weddell Sea, also known as the harshest waters in the world, the Endurance pressed on to Antarctica, eventually getting stuck in the ice.
Despite efforts to free the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew spent 10 months stuck in the frozen water, with morale and spirits kept up by their leader. Through Shackleton’s exceptional leadership, his crew remained optimistic and hard working, despite the harsh conditions. Eventually, after more than 2 years, he led them to safety using life rafts. The ship was ultimately lost to the cold waters amidst the thick ice in the Antarctic.
FINDING THE ENDURANCE
Almost as a testament to incredible leadership and communication, the Endurance was found over 100 years later in March 2022. With this ship found, we can more greatly appreciate the tenacity and enduring commitment Shackleton had to his crew and learn his leadership traits to build great teams today.
A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DEEPLY ENGAGE LEADERS AND HIGH POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES
History comes alive in this immersive leadership experience. Captains and their crew will learn effective communication and enhanced leadership using the same techniques that Sir Ernest Shackleton used to lead his crew to safety over 100 years ago. Designed to deeply engage leaders in an exploration of their personal leadership, Lead the Endurance™ refines your leaders’ ability to recognize and share insights about leading themselves, their teams, and the organization as a whole.
A UNIQUE TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY TO IMPROVE LEADERSHIP
Experience the cold darkness of Antarctica first-hand, and understand the leadership required to overcome such a profound challenge as surviving the harshest climate on earth! In this leadership development workshop, the teams face the harsh circumstances along with Sir Ernest Shackleton, complete with lanterns, videos, seal, and penguin meat, as part of the Lead the Endurance leadership challenge.
