| Success Is Not By Accident

 

Many Kiwi Business Owners and Leaders have found success.

Not flash-in-the-pan, easy come easy go, overnight success - the real kind.

It wasn’t brains. Or beauty. Or luck. Or God-given gifts.

It was grit. And grit pays off.

Eventually, that grit asks ‘what’s next?’, how can we go further?

That's where The Icehouse comes in. Supporting Kiwi businesses to learn from the best, and from each other and keep succeeding. 

As we’ve seen from the more than 4,000 Kiwi Business Owner Managers and Leaders who’ve experienced The Icehouse since 2001, when they come together in this way, they go on to unlock potential that existed within themselves and their business.

Capability Development Programmes For

Owners of Kiwi Businesses

As a Kiwi business owner, you’re probably used to doing most things yourself. Overseeing every aspect of your growing organisation is exhausting, demanding and can be a lonely experience. However, one day you just have to hold up your hands and say: ‘I can’t do all this myself’.

There are countless courses, qualifications, and online capability development tools such as automated software solutions for accounting, sales and marketing teams to skill up and learn, and make the daily grind more bearable. But where can owners turn for advice and education?

The best owners are objective and agile; quick-thinking enough to understand that there are smart ways to fix problems, and that obstacles are easier to overcome with a little bit of assistance. They also understand that seeking advice is a positive step in the ownership journey.

From topic specific workshops to transformative business development programmes and customised business coaching, it can take new skills, clarity and support to achieve your goals.

Capability Development Programmes For

New & Established Leaders of Kiwi Businesses

Kiwi business leaders are understandably more receptive to learning when the textbook they’re reading from is their business. Applying what you’re learning as you go – implementing these ideas into your world is the best case scenario.

Furthermore, you need refreshers to reflect on what worked well, to question old ideas, and to have your assumptions constantly challenged.

Introducing new skills and frameworks to apply to the business can weigh heavily on leaders, but reflection, reassessment and rethinking is a critical part of the process in creating habit-forming behaviours, so making difficult decisions comes as second-nature – and make you a better leader.

Advice is out there for leaders, but sometimes it’s difficult to know where to look.

Leadership Development Programme

 

Our flagship capability development solution for Kiwi Business Leaders

The programme allows you to take seven days away from the business over three months, so you can reflect and learn. In a unique practical learning environment, you’ll develop yourself, refine your skills as a leader, and focus on what drives success in your role, your team and the business.

On the programme you’ll refine your leadership style, complete a project to add real value to your business, and build a strong network of other senior leaders from a range of industries. You’ll develop your personal and business skills, and become empowered to play a greater role in the growth and direction of the business you’re working in.

The Leadership Development Programme is designed specifically for managers in privately-owned businesses who want to refine their leadership skills and contribute more to the success of the business.
