CELF Elevate Leadership Programme

ELEVATE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME "We believe in the positive impact that connected and responsible leaders have on their community."

Transforming - Leadership

Founders' Vision To build future leaders from all walks of life who can reimagine a stronger Waikato from a social, environmental, cultural and economic perspective.

These leaders take charge of their lives while influencing others positively, resulting in a significant contribution to Waikato communities, society, and New Zealand as a whole.

David Irving, Bernie Crosby, and Peter Sun

Our flagship leadership development programme is a unique 8-week experience, spread over 8-months.

It brings together established leaders from across multiple organisations and sectors to increase the elevation and social impact of all participants and their communities.

We have met some incredible leaders, worked through some interesting and challenging frameworks. I have learned so much about myself as a leader and how to continue my leadership journey to be both influential and results-driven.

I have developed a few new concepts for the organisation, including our new Wellbeing plan, sustainability practices, redefining how we look at our customer journeys, and how we approach and work with one another.
