Leadership development for emerging talent
Right now, throughout our organisations, there are brilliant, determined and talented people who have the potential to become extraordinary leaders.
Here’s the question… how many of them will actually become extraordinary?
The fact is, if we continue to develop leaders in the way we always have, many of them will fail to fulfil their true potential, or will fulfil their potential elsewhere.
At Ivy House we are on a mission to change this. We believe there is a better path – a path that enables our best emerging talent to become the leaders they are capable of becoming and the leaders we urgently need.
Our alumni and scholarships have come from companies as brilliant and diverse as:

“How many extraordinary leaders do you know? Not many? Interesting, right? So why are we still taking our brightest, bravest emerging talent down the same path we took our current leaders? It’s time for a major change.”
ELKE EDWARDS
Founder of Ivy House
