The Executive Exploration Programme
You have made the positive decision to take part in this Executive Exploration Programme because, although you are already towards the top of your particular tree, you want to challenge yourself and your thinking to achieve greater success. You have experienced a number of challenges along your particular journey. Now you are looking for alternative ways to accelerate your personal development, and continue stretching and learning in order to lead your organization on to the next level. Either way it will be rewarding.
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
It is often easier to stay where we are in life, even if we are not happy with our current situation. However to enable us to succeed we need to get a little uncomfortable and break away from the thoughts that limit us and cause us to question whether we can actually achieve far more in life.
The Executive Exploration Programme isn't only about tackling problems. It is about getting more out of life both personally and professionally, improving health, wealth and balance and enjoying the journey more.
Your Programme will take you through different stages using a significant initial calibration techniques to gain feedback from yourself and those around you that you value. 360° feedback is a well known tool however this will be constructed in a bespoke manner in order to deliver the greatest value.
Having agreed your individual goals, your Parallax Coach will use some of the most advanced techniques in Executive Coaching, including Neuro-linguistic Programming, attitude and behavioural remodeling, altered state techniques, visual and experiential metaphoric modeling and change work, to enable you to leave those limiting beliefs behind and move forward with greater choice and motivation.
As this is a significantly advanced and accelerated Programme, you will be involved in a number of experiential metaphoric interventions designed to give you a personal challenge, in a safe environment, in order that you can re-learn more about your own pressure points, your own personal edges, and explore in great depth but in a confidential manner how you can gain more by doing less!
Our learned behaviours are just that, learned and are retained in your subconscious - You don't hold every piece of information in your conscious mind all the time! For example, when you first learned to play tennis, play golf, or drive a car! You had to think about every movement, learning to holding the racket, when to throw the ball up in the air. How to hold the club, to address the ball. With driving too, how to stop start, accelerate, indicate etc. Not until you had placed your learning in your subconscious, did the processes and coordination come together. Do you think about every action now? No, it's now firmly established in your subconscious mind and you just do it. You learned to play tennis, golf and drive. While some of those learned behaviours are enabling, some are disabling but the control and the ability to change lies with you.
Having established your goals and completed your 360° feedback, the process of change is already underway, but to turbo-charge it we want to let you experience personal challenge and success, with an eye to the relevance to your business success. Hence you will have the opportunity of an extended half day session for the Parallax Personal Challenge Flight. Here you will learn about overcoming personal and corporate challenges, taking control, the role of preparation, and strategy, looking at your business from a totally different view. As well as gaining personal achievement and satisfaction, you will also be able to make a turn, climb and descend in a plane!
Additionally there will be a full day with your coach seeing at first hand your impact and approach in your business. Accompanying you for the day, and observing your personal behaviours in your corporate environment, is a powerful tool to thoroughly identify how your presence affects others. Allowing yourself to be open to the challenge of your style, impact and leadership under scrutiny, allows immediate and resourceful feedback and learning.
Finally there will be an additional full day (4 sessions) experiential stretch element you will have the option of taking either of these experiences to the next level, to notice what you notice about your attitude to risk, to face yourself with a different type of leadership challenge that will expose you to your own personal challenges, and help you identify the root causes of that which holds you back. Apart from your coach on the day, you will be ably assisted by the most challenging of critics - a horse - whose only interest is - "Who is the leader? - You or Me?"
The rest is up to you.
With your own Executive Exploration Programme you will learn to be a more positive person, the power of setting your own goals, how to become more confident, how to focus using imagery and visualisation and how to effect a change in mental attitude, leading to a more rewarding and challenging life.
Every Parallax Programme is individual and different from the next, because every person is different, and we look at the whole person. We take you from A to B via "A Different View" However the benefit of taking your own route is always the same ’Äì that of achieving a significantly improved personal performance both in the corporate world, and at home as they are inextricably linked, goals aligned and moving forward with renewed purpose and vigour on the way to the Masters Journey.
You have taken the first step to a greater level of success and choice. Enjoy this process, dare to dream, be bold, take risks in understanding yourself, reflect on your considerations, and take those learnings into your life from tomorrow...

Additionally there will be a half day (2 sessions) The Parallax Personal Challenge Flight. An experiential stretch element in a situation where you will have the opportunity to experience and re-learn taking control yourself, and making change happen. These sessions will take place at Kemble airfield, Wiltshire.

At the end of each session, a task will be set, encouraging you to adapt to your new learnings and thinkings and assisting you in gaining maximum benefit from the Programme. You will be encouraged to keep regular telephone contact with your Coach, sharing observations, ideas and awareness. In so doing, you will be developing a continuous learning and support mechanism.
