PROVEN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
OVER 4000 PARTICIPANTS HAVE EXPERIENCED OUR LEAD THE ENDURANCE: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. MORE THAN 95% WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO A FRIEND OR COLLEAGUE.
Typically, companies are not capable of creating leaders and efforts to “teach” leadership often fall short. Rapid leadership development requires insight and practice in actual situations. Our Lead the Endurance leadership development program has helped countless companies instill the core elements of leadership into employees. Your team will learn and practice the extraordinary leadership traits of Sir Ernest Shackleton, resulting in increased workplace engagement, improved morale and bankable assets.
Experience The Greatest Leadership Challenge in The History of Humankind – Join Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary expedition as the crew aboard the Endurance, stranded in the harshest environment on earth during this one-of-a-kind employee development program.
This leadership development program is based on true events and over 100 years of history. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew set sail aboard the Endurance to voyage from England to Antarctica. Encountering ice in the Weddell Sea, also known as the harshest waters in the world, the Endurance pressed on to Antarctica, eventually getting stuck in the ice.
Despite efforts to free the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew spent 10 months stuck in the frozen water, with morale and spirits kept up by their leader. Through Shackleton’s exceptional leadership, his crew remained optimistic and hard working, despite the harsh conditions. Eventually, after more than 2 years, he led them to safety using life rafts. The ship was ultimately lost to the cold waters amidst the thick ice in the Antarctic.
Almost as a testament to incredible leadership and communication, the Endurance was found over 100 years later in March 2022. With this ship found, we can more greatly appreciate the tenacity and enduring commitment Shackleton had to his crew and learn his leadership traits to build great teams today.
History comes alive in this immersive leadership experience. Captains and their crew will learn effective communication and enhanced leadership using the same techniques that Sir Ernest Shackleton used to lead his crew to safety over 100 years ago. Designed to deeply engage leaders in an exploration of their personal leadership, Lead the Endurance™ refines your leaders’ ability to recognize and share insights about leading themselves, their teams, and the organization as a whole.
Experience the cold darkness of Antarctica first-hand, and understand the leadership required to overcome such a profound challenge as surviving the harshest climate on earth! In this leadership development workshop, the teams face the harsh circumstances along with Sir Ernest Shackleton, complete with lanterns, videos, seal, and penguin meat, as part of the Lead the Endurance leadership challenge.

There are many factors at play in determining the overall cost of running this program.

It also depends on the amount of work you and your people do versus us and our team. Contact us for a free consultation and we can determine what you need to best achieve your desired outcomes.
We have had great success with many clients choosing maritime museums as a backdrop for this wonderfully engaging program. If you are looking to customize the experience without additional location costs, we have also created arctic environments right in the boardroom for past clients.
Air conditioning is blasted the day before the event to create sub-zero temperature and a chill experience your team is not soon to forget. If Mother Nature is feeling cooperative, we are not averse to throwing open the windows and letting the weather play along. One of our most memorable sessions was run in the middle of blizzard! We are willing to work with you to maximize this experience for your team on your terms!
As with most elements of our leadership training programs, we can tailor the length of the challenge to meet your needs. Officially, we recommend 3 hours minimum for Lead the Endurance and ideally 5 to 6+ hours as a stand-alone program. Learn2 designs all experiences to be modular so most can fit your timeframe or expand with additional learning and application when you add time.

Participants receive access to post-experience videos to reinforce the main learning concepts. Your team can immediately apply their new leadership skills to their current business challenges and goals.
92+% of our work comes from existing and past participants who refer us. Our clients prefer to achieve actual business goals and apply their learning during LIVE sessions. Their feedback is clear: one-offs rarely work and smart commitments over time always prove to achieve better ROI. We listened and are happy to now offer clients the option of a Smart Buyer’s Card, which gets you 4 live sessions for the investment of 3.
Our clients have found that learning is the best way to transform their business results. We’ve seen our smart buyers experience dramatic increases in their business numbers. To make business results happen you have to advise what numbers you want to move, then we build a unique leadership development plan to make that happen for your team. The clearer you are with the business goals you wish to achieve, the better our design and the greater your impact.

Currency doesn’t just drive urgency—it also creates the feedback loop to help participants reflect on their performance. Feedback is a crucial part of learning, and currency provides a natural mechanism for participants to understand how well they’re doing and adjust their strategies accordingly. Again, feedback matters because participants move through “learning about” into a performance […]
Currency naturally complements participant-driven design by ensuring learners are at the heart of the experience. When participants are given a form of currency to manage, they are empowered to make choices, strategize, and reflect on the consequences of their actions. This shifts the focus from passive learning to active engagement, where learners have a stake […]
Today I’m excited to explore one of my favorite concepts for instructional designers—currency—and how currency can bring your learning experiences to life. First, let’s take a step back and consider what makes any learning design truly effective: participant-driven learning. Clients want lasting behavior change to improve results. Participant-driven designs cause ownership of the insights so […]
