The Journey
Begins with Awareness

Abroad’s Awareness Assessment was used to conduct a landmark global study on how the mindsets of founders impact performance, decision-making, and team culture. As part of this programme, you will take both the Awareness Assessment and distribute our Leader Assessment to your direct reports to measure your Leadership Efficacy.

Where the
Deeper Insights Emerge

Once you complete your Self and Leader Assessments, you will meet with an Abroad coach who will review your assessments and ask qualifying questions to get to the mindsets and behaviors driving the results with the goal of creating a custom growth plan for your leadership development.

One Day Workshop at Google Singapore

After completing your assessments and growth plans, we will gather as a portfolio for a 1-day introductory workshop at Google Singapore to learn the mindsets and skills that top global founders have used to navigate the entrepreneurial roller coaster with greater purpose, resilience, and adaptability. Beyond the learning, this is an opportunity for shared learning and forming meaningful connections with other startup leaders in the portfolio.

Individual and
Group Coaching

After the intro workshop, you and your leadership team will continue to benefit from individual and group coaching. We will host 1-hour group coaching sessions on a fortnightly basis to continue our shared learning and community building, and you will receive additional individual coaching to apply the learning to your unique leadership and team challenges.

Scientific
Measurement of Impact

At the completion of the programme, you will retake our assessments and meet with your Abroad coach to celebrate the empirical impact you have generated. This provides you key insights to share with your board and team members that you are taking your leadership growth and development seriously. 

Is This Programme Right for Me?

If you’re wanting to learn more about yourself and unlock your full leadership potential, the Programme is the ultimate tool for your self-growth. Through the programme, you’ll begin to discover the answers to these questions and more:


What if you can inspire your team to be higher functioning?

What if your mind felt more focused and free?

What if you were perfectly calm amidst the chaos?

What if you strengthened your curiosity muscles to discover new strategies for success and funding?

What if you can increase your executive presence and influence to effectively manage your investors and team?

What if you learned core manager competencies to build a thriving company that attracts top talent?

Mental Flexibility


As a leader if you learn about the programme and think ‘I’m just too busy for this,” you should have signed up a year ago.

This leadership development programme is very deep, reflective, and relevant. It’s like re-learning to be human.

This was hands down the most transformational programme I have ever attended. I will be disappointed by mere skills-based trainings after this.

F A Q

  • If you want to transform your fear into creativity, prevent burnout and expand your time - all while scaling your company - then this programme is right for you. While we believe this programme benefits any human, it has especially been tailored to helping startup leaders. Being a startup leader is an exciting and challenging journey. Att Abroad we’ve worked with thousands of founders and their leadership teams and intimately understand how to address and transcend the most difficult startup challenges.

  • Beyond traveling and attending and the 1-day intro workshop, you need to allocate approximately 1-1.5 hours per week for the programme - 60 minutes for fortnightly group sessions, three individual sessions, and listening to some podcast-style learning content. Listening to the content allows the live sessions to be more about practice and application with other leaders in the portfolio.

  • The live sessions will NOT be recorded. The live sessions are a place for people to share, connect, and learn in a confidential setting. If you miss a session, you will have access to the learning content on the platform, but the live sessions is where the magic happens. Past participants find that once the programme is in the calendar/diary, it’s quite easy to prioritize.

  • The payment is upfront to secure your commitment. However, if installment payments make it possible for you to join please contact us at service@abroad.io and we can make an arrangement.

    Golden Gate Ventures is also committed to making this program available to you no matter your financial situation. If you need financial assistance beyond the subsidy, please contact Golden Gate Ventures or Abroad.
