  It provides an opportunity for established leaders to reflect and expand their leadership capacity in the company of like-minded peers.

  It provides a structured collaborative space for leaders in one industry across the supply and value chain, or across sectors, to build new relationships and frameworks to resolve complex and dynamic issues for rural Australia.

  During the program, TRAILblazers participants will have had opportunities to:

  • Expand their leadership frameworks, concepts and strategies for a more resilient and robust approach to handling complex issues;
  • Establish new relationships and networks with other leaders across sectors and regions; and
  • Develop a fresh perspective and focus for their ongoing professional development and contribution to rural Australia.

  Who is TRAILblazers for?

  It's a higher end leadership program for experienced leaders.

  It's for established leaders who need a time-out to reflect on their own leadership skills, abilities, and capacity for influence and impact.

  It's an opportunity for experienced leaders to network and engage with similar leaders from around Australia, developing a cohort of peers as sounding board, resources, and support.

  It is for leaders who want to engage in discussion about advanced leadership approaches and theory to develop new frameworks for solution-finding, strategic thinking, and global influence.
