Common Questions
What is the Lead the Endurance leadership experience?+
Your leaders take the roles of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Senior Advisors, stranded on a polar ice floe after the ship Endurance is crushed. The plan they arrived with is gone, and every call they make carries a consequence for the crew. It is Learn2's flagship leadership experience: over 4,000 participants, and 95% recommend it.
How long does it run, and could it sit inside a longer program?+
It runs as a two-day or three-day offsite. It also works as the opening or closing module inside a longer custom program, because it gives everything around it a shared reference point your leaders lived through together. A design call with Learn2 program leaders sets that fit before the dates get locked.
Is this the same as the Shackleton leadership work on leadtheendurance.com?+
Same experience, different question. This page helps you decide whether Lead the Endurance is the right fit next to Learn2’s other experiences. If what you want is the Shackleton story itself — the decisions he made on the ice and how they land with a leadership team today — that is covered in depth at leadtheendurance.com.
Who is it for?+
Leadership teams that have to make hard calls together, high-potential cohorts moving into bigger roles, and executive groups that need one shared picture of the plan. It suits a group that already works together and needs to work together better, more than a room of individuals who will never meet again.
Could it be customized to our organization?+
Yes, and every delivery includes a design call for exactly that. Learn2 maps the expedition's decision points onto the real calls your leaders face, so the debrief speaks in your language and your context rather than a generic one. Partners who deliver it inside their own custom programs use that call to align it to their client's stated outcomes.
What actually changes afterward?+
Participants leave with a High Impact Project — a real 90-day challenge they own and measure at 30, 60, and 90 days. That is what turns two days into a business result rather than a good day out, and it is what the 4-10x ROI guarantee is measured against.
