Pioneer 100 Programme

Every year, Pioneers of Change selects 100 talented individuals to join the exclusive Pioneer 100 cohort. This prestigious programme is designed to elevate participants' leadership skills, expand their professional networks, and position them as emerging leaders within their organisations. Through a combination of high-level executive sessions and personalised mentoring, participants gain invaluable insights and practical knowledge to drive their careers forward.

    Participants receive six hours with senior executives from renowned companies and thought leaders, offering participants the chance to learn directly from the best. These exclusive sessions allow participants to ask questions and tailor discussions to their own experiences in a supportive environment.

Conducted online in small groups, these sessions offer a personalised approach and foster a supportive community among cohort members.

FAQs

  • Yes, the sessions are confidential to ensure a safe space for open and honest communication. We only share evaluations as agreed with the partner organisation, unless the participant requests otherwise.

  • The first session establishes a solid foundation and sets the stage for future sessions. This includes getting to know each other, clarifying the boundaries of the coaching/mentoring relationship, setting expectations and goals, and agreeing on practical aspects such as the frequency and duration of future sessions and preferred communication methods. The participant may also be given tasks or reflections to work on before the next session.

    Based on the goals and discovery of development areas, we then create a development plan, with actionable steps. This plan is flexible and will evolve as the participant progresses.

  • Yes, we can extend support hours if requested. We also check in with our candidates to document both immediate impacts and long-term outcomes.

  • We ensure accessibility by offering captioning during each online session and providing transcriptions afterward. Our presentation materials use clear, large fonts and uncluttered slides. Sign language interpreters can also be arranged.
