What is 'TRAILblazers'?
TRAIL blazers is an eight day residential program designed specifically for established leaders. It is for leaders who have been engaged in a range of roles for a significant period of time and have worked in complex contexts.
It provides an opportunity for established leaders to reflect and expand their leadership capacity in the company of like-minded peers.
It provides a structured collaborative space for leaders in one industry across the supply and value chain, or across sectors, to build new relationships and frameworks to resolve complex and dynamic issues for rural Australia.
What does TRAILblazers offer?
During the program, TRAILblazers participants will have opportunities to:
- Expand their leadership frameworks, concepts and strategies for a more resilient and robust approach to handling complex issues;
- Establish new relationships and networks with other leaders across sectors and regions; and
- Develop a fresh perspective and focus for their ongoing professional development and contribution to rural Australia.
Who is TRAILblazers for?
It's a higher end leadership program for experienced leaders.
It's for established leaders who need a time-out to reflect on their own leadership skills, abilities, and capacity for influence and impact.
It's an opportunity for experienced leaders to network and engage with similar leaders from around Australia, developing a cohort of peers as sounding board, resources, and support.
It is for leaders who want to engage in discussion about advanced leadership approaches and theory to develop new frameworks for solution-finding, strategic thinking, and global influence.

TRAIL Blazers Curriculum
The program has long-reaching practical effects. Here is an unsolicited testimonial from 2010 participant John Harrison:
"My personal challenge during the course was to grow membership. And we did the reverse goals task. Well the two pieces of paper [from the Masterminding session] are still on my office wall and I think I have created a monster! Thanks guys. Membership has grown from 130 in July 09 to about 330 as of today... you should be careful of what you ask for (ha ha)." - John Harrison, Executive Officer, Professional Fishermen's Association
