"This program is about elevating professionals who are passionate about the outdoors. We're offering them the chance to develop their leadership abilities while being mentored by some of the industry’s top leaders,” says Modde. "Our vision is to create a strong, resilient community of leaders who can make a real impact on the future of outdoor recreation, education, therapy and adventure tourism in Australia."

 

Program Highlights:

  • Comprehensive Curriculum: The program provides in-depth training on key leadership skills, strategic thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving, with a strong focus on sustainability and community impact.

  • Networking Opportunities: The Pinnacle Leadership Program fosters connections with a wide range of professionals, creating lasting relationships and collaborative opportunities across the industry.

All coordinated and managed by the Outdoors NSW & ACT Ambassador, Ky Furneaux. Ky is known as an extreme adventurer, an Outdoor Guide, international stunt performer and author of ‘Girl’s Own Survival Guide’. Ky empowers others on how to face your fears and step out of your comfort zone!
