Wavelength's application, thinking and diversity of learning from leaders was transformative. Our peer group on the USA programme was first class and relationships were built across the globe. The application of what we learnt at an executive and board level was invaluable.
World-class executive education and leadership development programmes
We opened our doors for business back in 2008, with an event which brought together the best of the world’s leaders from cross-sector organisations: Wavelength100.
Now, we are one of the world’s leading providers of immersive leadership programmes. Our participants come from different sectors and industries to learn together and from each other.
Every year in June, Wavelength USA takes 20 corporate executives inside the likes of Airbnb, Microsoft, Four Seasons, Google and Silicon Valley’s hottest start up’s and for curated introductions to the leading VC”s, top executives and thought leaders.
Wavelength Inspire is our digital only programme designed to enable clients to bring the outside world in at scale and provides live, monthly facilitated access to some of the world’s most admired organisations and accomplished leaders – Apple, Southwest Airlines, President of Four Season and CEO’s of IKEA & Unilever have all spoken.
Wavelength Connect brings together 60 leaders from a broad array of sectors for a nine-month curriculum focused on The Future of Business underpinned by three pillars – Inspiration, Connection and Application.
Wavelength’s Power of Purpose Programme provides leaders with the opportunity to travel to India, to go inside The Aravind Eye Care System in Madurai, India – and to find and explore their own personal purpose and embed it into their leadership.
Inside Alder Hey provides a bespoke opportunity for small teams of leaders to visit to one of the UK’s most inspiring, innovative organisations, Liverpool’s awe inspiring Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. Participants will learn about excellence in innovation, customer (patient) centricity, operational efficiency and social inclusion.
We are a for-profit, but not profit-maximisation, organisation and through our cross-subsidy model we enable leaders from charities, social and public sectors to participate in our programmes.
Leaders we've inspired
For me, the most significant impact has been a personal one. I have never felt more inspired by the experience and many have observed a huge lift in my confidence and leadership presence.
The USA programme worked extremely well and gave my team and I a great opportunity to connect with many entrepreneurs, businesses and ideas. We now approach innovation differently at Tesco from both an organisational and cultural perspective.
Adrian worked with us to deliver a virtual session covering the traits of high performing businesses and lessons from the Wavelength 10 with a group of our senior leaders and talent from 20 countries.
The content is like nothing else - I've never worked with a presenter that has so many brilliant stories and examples from a who's who of the world's best businesses. Our people came away inspired and privileged in equal measure to have got so much insight from so many iconic brands.
The delivery also worked fantastically well and transferred seamlessly from stage to online (using our own internal virtual classroom platform via Google). The slides and content bring the whole thing to life and Adrian's passion and engagement get people hooked. If anything, the virtual setting works even better as it feels more intimate and enables people to engage and debate rather than just watch - which is perfect for this subject.
An awesome session, delivered flawlessly in the virtual setting by an absolute rock star of leadership development.
Adrian really engaged and inspired our leaders. Along with the support he has provided through Connect and Wavelength USA this has moved on our thinking about leadership and purpose massively. He did a tremendous job at bringing together lessons from a really broad range of highly successful leaders. The blend of examples and stories helps people to absorb the ideas and think about application. And the session was also really entertaining!
Adrian managed to engage the entire team spellbound for about 90 minutes with fascinating case studies from Silicon Valley, Asia, Europe and other markets. His stories are awesome, his insights fascinating and his presentation very energetic. He helped us to connect the dots between banking to biotech to robotics to space, and took us on a roller-coaster ride through different industries and countries. I would highly recommend Adrian as a motivational speaker at corporate meetings, customer presentations and strategy offsites – he is guaranteed to send pulses racing and get ideas bubbling!
Adrian will inspire your colleagues, ignite your organisation and instil a sense of urgency and transformation. He has his finger on the pulse of the world’s best organisations and he will get you very close to their beating hearts!
Adrian’s presentation to my top team was truly excellent. He speaks with such authority, gravitas and insight about the key issues in leadership and business - service, innovation, disruption and resilience. The leadership team at Metro Bank are very busy people - so if we give up our time to listen to an outside speaker it better be good. And Adrian was very good indeed.
Adrian - You are indeed the biggest champion and understand what we are doing more than many others in the company. You live it and breath it. To now make the knowledge available to many others, and hopefully create the momentum for biggest change is a very noble cause. Thanks for doing that. Purpose is indeed closely linked to wellness and not many people see this yet. Again you are a pioneer here. You will enjoy the challenges and opportunities and you are well prepared for it. We will see each other still but already thanks for all you have done for this great institution. We will benefit from it for years to come.
