C-Suite Ascent

Designed for aspiring C-suite leaders

The Programme

The PwC C-Suite Ascent Programme offers clients valuable soft skills and personal development, specifically around leadership. It is supported by a good balance of content for practical use back in the office.

It provides a forum for peer-based action learning groups of up to 18 individuals, coming together to build their external network and expand their ability to overcome business challenges. Participants are given access to the best of PwC’s personal development training resources and mentoring.

The programme will be delivered through:

Modular workshops - 5 modules, over a period of five months, facilitated by specialists in leadership development, with input from PwC and business leaders.
Peer group coaching sessions - delegates will be grouped into smaller breakout sessions to facilitate peer-to-peer discussions and learning that focus on current live issues they may be facing.
