Leadership & Professional Development
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Harold R. McAlindon
Outward Bound Professional is invested in developing leaders and building successful teams through helping them realise their potential in an outdoor learning environment.
We believe the best leaders are those that continually strive to learn and build on the skills they already have and that this is the key to developing great, long-standing managers and strong teams.
Our facilitators are dedicated to helping your emerging leaders and teams increase awareness of their strengths and recognise their weaknesses and then giving them the skills to transfer this awareness into the workplace.
At Outward Bound Professional, we know the best way to learn about yourself and others is by doing. Our challenges use experiential education, teaching patience, listening skills and communication to develop leaders in the space of soft skills, away from the four walls of an office.
Our courses will give your emerging leaders insight into their own capabilities and management methods, empowering them to inspire their own teams to know what they are capable of.
Your staff will learn to think “we” and not “I” and understand that they must accept responsibility to make the team function. This is the philosophy that our courses follow, because at Outward Bound Professional, we know that to lead people successfully, we must learn to walk beside them.
What do we do?
Outward Bound Professional teaches the practical skills of leadership through action-oriented, outdoor based experiential techniques that can be transferred to soft skills within the office to develop effective leaders and high performance teams.

Tangible outcomes for your staff and business
Research suggests nearly 25 per cent of Australian employees will change jobs in any given year. And when you consider staff turnover costs can be up over 150 per cent of a person's annual salary it makes sense that staff retention should be a high priority for your business. There is a clear link between effective staff retention strategies and well-performing companies. If you can recruit and retain good people, you establish a strong competitive advantage. It’s important to take the time and energy to invest in keeping your staff happy, motivated and productive.
Poor management, inadequate training and lack of career development are often cited as reasons staff leave their current employment for better opportunities elsewhere.
