Discover Your Leadership Potential
Are you looking for a unique, inspiring and adventurous way to discover your strengths, core competencies and vulnerabilities? How can you apply your skills to adverse situations?
The Outward Bound Leadership program will put you on a journey of self-improvement and discovery. Using the outdoors as your learning environment, develop essential skills to best apply yourself in life, work and the world. Youll find youre much more capable than you thought.
Outward Bound Leadership is a 5-day program for emerging adults ages 16 to 24 years.
Discover Your Capacity to Lead
Discover your capacity for leadership in unusual environments, literally and metaphorically. Your capacity to lead involves making decisions under pressure, visualising the “end game”, maintaining situational awareness and communicating context.
Your group will need to work together while organising camp, cooking on fires, navigating through the wilderness, and summiting peaks. The individual challenges such as high ropes and abseil are supported by your two Outward Bound facilitators, who will expertly explore and discuss how to apply these experiences to your life back home.
Draw On Resilience and Rise to the Summit
Outward Bound Australia will facilitate your learning journey in the unique Australian landscape. Through some exhilarating experiences, you will be confronted with intensely challenging situations where you will draw on your resilience.
Make Lifelong Connections
Join a unique crew of up-to-16 young adults, all seeking the same goal as you. Experience a sense of camaraderie like you might never have experienced before, and make social connections you might even keep for life.
What are you waiting for? For a chance to meet like-minded connections and add a highlight experience to your resume, sign up for the Outward Bound Leaders hip program today.
