Elev8

A uniquely tailored leadership development program to stretch the minds and actions of Level 8 high performers.

Workplaces today are undergoing constant change. We are managing increasingly unpredictable and rapidly changing environments that require more agile and adaptable responses. Research shows leaders need new capabilities for these challenges that expand their mindsets, behaviours and actions.

Elev8 is an 8 month leadership development program designed to establish these capabilities in high performing Level 8 (and equivalent) WA public sector employees.

Participants gain essential insights into leadership for now and into the future, crafting their own learning journeys to meet their individual needs. They create relationships with other high performers across the sector and establish opportunities to collaborate. They also have access to local and global leadership experts to stretch their insights and receive individual guidance.

Elev8 challenges assumptions and explores new ways of leading. It supports participants to become influential leaders of leaders well equipped to transition into the next tier of senior executives.

Elev8 is included in the Learning and Development Prospectus which sets out an innovative suite of programs created specifically for WA public sector staff.

Who is Elev8 for?

Elev8 is for high performing Level 8 (and equivalent) leaders in the WA public sector.

They are expected to lead in multiple directions at once, manage up to their managers and executive group, manage sideways by influencing peers, and also manage and lead a broad range of teams while interpreting and executing strategic directions and priorities.

These leaders usually feel conflicted about priorities and have difficulty distancing themselves from the operational aspects of their previous roles to move into a more strategic mindset.

What is the cost?

The cost of $7,250 covers all aspects of the 8 month program:

  • 4 core experiences
  • 4 group exploration sessions
  • 3 virtual immersion workshops with personalised learning tools or assessments
  • 2 immersion coaching sessions
  • Artificial intelligence coaching to help achieve individual goals
  • Resources to support and embed the learning

The cost is met by the participant’s agency.

Testimonials

Here is what some of our graduates are saying about Elev8:

“Elev8 promised to challenge me, expand my thinking and profoundly change my approach to leadership. I had to earn a place in program through a selection process which was personally very affirming. With a multi-pronged approach, fantastic presenters, individual and group learning experiences, and an amazing group of fellow Elev8 peers, the program has genuinely helped me develop leadership capabilities that I desperately craved and needed for the future. Elev8 in one word – transformative.”

J. Bontempo, Manager International Education, Department of Education

" Elev8 has been a great opportunity to reflect on and challenge the way I think about leadership. Over the course of the program I’ve been supported out of my comfort zone and have explored a range of practical strategies that I have been able to take back to implement with my team. An added bonus has been the fantastic networking opportunities with colleagues from across the public sector, enabling the discussion and workshopping of common issues we all encounter."  

J. Drew, Director, South Metropolitan TAFE

"Elev8 isn’t your traditional leadership course – it’s a holistic and immersive experience covering a wide range of content. It is designed to better equip participants to take that next step in their leadership journey. It provides a mix of learning opportunities, combining core modules with participant selected immersions as well as one on one and peer coaching. Most importantly for me I’ve appreciated having a platform to engage with my peers throughout the entire process. If you want to be challenged to think outside the box and broaden your horizons consider applying for Elev8."
