Level Up

 

We’ve worked with thousands of executive leaders across the world, gaining deep insight into the challenges they face—and how to help them transcend them to achieve breakthrough results.

Along the way, we’ve built a powerful network of experts, executives, and best-selling authors, all committed to fostering extraordinary leadership.

Now, we’ve distilled that experience and those connections into a value-packed offer designed to elevate your leadership to new heights.

 

21-day guided onboarding

The 21-day onboarding series is designed to help you quickly feel connected, confident, and clear in your leadership journey.

Week 1: Welcome, Orientation & Mindset – Get grounded in the community, clarify your goals, and discover how to get the most from your experience.

Week 2: Core Practices & Inner Game – Start building practical leadership habits like emotional agility, self-awareness, and powerful communication.

Week 3: Connection, Impact & Integration – Strengthen relationships, apply what you’ve learned, and establish habits to support lasting personal growth. By the end, you’ll feel equipped, supported as part of the community, and ready to lead with greater intention and impact.

Monthly guest speaker

In line with our Monthly Theme, each month we host an exceptional guest speaker who brings fresh insight, practical tools, and deep experience on that topic.

These are thought leaders, authors, industry experts, and senior executives who have walked the talk and bring a wealth of real-world perspective.

Sessions are interactive, giving you the chance to ask questions and engage directly.

Whether the focus is on influence, resilience, or navigating change, these conversations are designed to stretch your thinking and inspire new possibilities.

It’s your opportunity to learn from the best—right inside the FirstHuman Academy.

Private app community

Leadership doesn’t stop at 5 p.m.

With 24/7 access to the community, there’s always support at hand.

Whether you’re navigating a difficult conversation, facing a crisis in confidence, preparing for a big presentation, or simply need a sounding board, you can tap into a network of experienced peers and coaches at any time.

Post a question, share a win, or ask for input—day or night, someone’s listening.

This constant access to support, insight, and encouragement helps you stay centred, resourced, and ready—whenever leadership moments arise.

Executive shadowing

We follow 3 senior executives across a 12-month cycle, as they unpack their leadership role within different types of organisation.

Every month we invite one to unpack their personal insights so that you get a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective of what life is really like as an executive.

Monthly 1-2-1 gifted coaching session

For the first 50 members, you’ll receive a free executive coaching session with one of our senior FirstHuman coaches – some of the most sought-after leadership coaches in the business. These sessions go beyond problem-solving—they’re a chance to pause and explore who you’re being as a leader. Grounded in FirstHuman’s core distinctions:

Tuning in to others

— Generative listening

Letting go of internal noise that blocks insight and connection

Overcoming a limited identity

— Building a culture of accountability

— Seeing new possibilities—for yourself and those you lead

This is focused time to reconnect with what truly matters and grow your capacity to lead with clarity, presence, and purpose.

Peer mastermind pod

As part of your journey in the FirstHuman Academy, you’ll be matched with a small peer group of 3–5 members who share similar goals, challenges, or industry backgrounds.

These curated connections provide a trusted space for deeper conversation, accountability, and mutual support.

Meeting regularly, your group becomes a sounding board where you can test ideas, share progress, and explore insights together.

Whether you’re navigating a major shift or working toward a breakthrough, your peers will help you stay focused and inspired.

It’s about growing together—with others who truly understand the context you’re leading in and the stand your taking for your leadership.

Weekly breakthrough coaching calls

Join our weekly live Breakthrough Calls—your dedicated space to work through real leadership challenges in real time.

Each session is guided by a seasoned coach and offers a powerful blend of coaching, reflection, and peer insight.

Whether you’re facing a tough decision, navigating team dynamics, or stretching into a new role, this is your opportunity to pause, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence.

You’ll not only benefit from expert guidance but also from the presence and wisdom of fellow leaders who are on the same path.

Bring your challenge. Leave with a breakthrough—and renewed momentum.

Private guest workshops

Alongside hot topics and trends explored in our Q&A sessions, we host interactive workshops designed to support both your personal and professional development.

These sessions provide practical tools, fresh perspectives, and opportunities for reflection and growth.

Example workshops include:

Personal Presence – how to present yourself with clarity and confidence

Writing for Influence – for more effective communication.

Meditation and Leadership – cultivating presence and calm under pressure.

Wellness in the Workplace – building awareness and resilience.

AI and People-First Cultures – maximising social capital in the age of AI.

Complexity Thinking – leadership and strategy in uncertainty.

Join us to sharpen your skills, expand your thinking, and grow as a leader in every area of life.

Monthly leadership themes

Each month, we explore a key leadership challenge through a focused theme designed to spark growth and insight.

These monthly themes bring structure to your development journey, offering curated content, live sessions, and peer discussions to deepen your learning.

Topics will be driven by the community. Illustratively they might include:

Executive Presence – how you show up and inspire confidence

Influence Without Authority – move people without relying on position

Change Leadership – lead through uncertainty with clarity and courage

Whether you’re an experienced leader or stepping into new responsibilities, these themes help you confront real-world challenges with fresh thinking, practical tools, and community support.
