Beyond Boundaries Program

The C-Suite is transforming. The definition of what it means to be an authentic leader has shifted. Every leader needs to build strategic relationships, hone agile skills, and be ready to successfully navigate the future. The business leader will need to look and move beyond prescriptive boundaries to drive success and growth through crisis moments and massive disruption across the globe.

Beyond Boundaries is beyond traditional leadership development and acknowledges the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and unique lived experiences of each participant. Our approach to the program is grounded in creating an environment where each participant can be seen, heard, encouraged to be curious and empowered to be brave in their interactions.

Capstone Experience

The Capstone Experience is a first of its kind, annual program, developed exclusively for cohort graduates. This personalized, immersive, and exclusive program is designed to crystallize the learnings and takeaways from the Beyond Boundaries (formerly HcEL) program and equip participants with insight to effectively utilize these tools. The Capstone Experience will be offered at end of each Beyond Boundaries program.
