Overview
In this first session of the Aspiring CEO Programme, we explore the crucial early steps on the path to CEO leadership. You’ll gain practical insight into how to present yourself externally as a credible candidate, while also identifying the common areas of development that new CEOs often overlook. We’ll discuss how to navigate executive and governance relationships, assess your own readiness to take the leap into a CEO role, and learn how to approach internal conversations about your ambitions with confidence and clarity. This session is designed to give you the tools, awareness, and perspective to move from aspiration to action in your CEO journey.
