A
Your organisation
A broad population. Build a common language on customers, premium value, innovation, AI and cross-functional collaboration.
Breadth and alignment
The Next Leap
Skill gets you into the system. Exposure moves you up.
A continuous learning community built on access rather than instruction — run for an organisation and its people, or joined individually by leaders preparing for a bigger role.
For organisations
Build the capability your strategy depends on.
A bespoke, continuous learning community for your leaders, teams and partner networks. Designed around your audience, curated and led by Giuseppe Stigliano, and closed with a Playbook that stays with your organisation.
- Bespoke for every organisation
- From focused cohorts to several hundred participants
- Online and in person, worldwide
- Delivered in English or Italian
Who it is for
Three configurations. Three different programmes.
First we choose the group. Then we design content, rhythm, live sessions and guests around it.
B
A selected cohort
High-potential leaders or a single function. Go deeper on specific roles: commercial, marketing, retail, service, leadership.
Depth and application
C
Your partner network
Retailers, distributors, professionals. Strengthen how the partners who represent you deliver your value through experience, advice and storytelling.
Ecosystem and consistency
The choice of audience comes before the choice of content.
How it works
A modular architecture, calibrated with you.
12–20Strategic breakthroughs, 7 to 15 minutes, on demand
6–10Live sessions with Giuseppe Stigliano
3–5Special guests, selected with you
1–2In-person moments
1Playbook that stays with you
Indicative numbers. The final mix depends on goals, audience, duration and level of interaction.
The asset that stays
From a training cost to a proprietary asset.
Most programmes leave a certificate. Ours leave a Playbook: the knowledge your people built, organised for the people who come next.
- Principles and frameworks adapted to your business
- Cases and practices contributed by your own people
- A shared vocabulary for leaders, teams and partners
- Material to consult, reuse and onboard with after the programme

Why it exists
What changed my career was exposure.
I used to believe careers grew with talent, effort and credentials. What changed mine was exposure: seeing how senior leaders weigh trade-offs, debate under constraint and decide with incomplete data.
Three times a CEO, a PhD, a teaching post at UCL and two decades advising executive teams at global brands taught me one thing. What those rooms share is not an industry. It is altitude. The Next Leap opens those rooms to people ready to enter them.

FAQ
Questions from business leaders.
What is The Next Leap for individuals?
An executive learning and networking community, created and curated by Giuseppe Stigliano. It combines 22 on-demand strategic sessions, monthly live Q&A, CEO fireside chats and a moderated community of high-potential peers.
How is it different from a course or coaching?
Courses teach what to do, and coaching often focuses on how you feel. The Next Leap focuses on how top leaders think and decide, through direct exposure to them and to a curated peer group.
How much time does it take?
About 30 to 60 minutes a week on demand, plus one or two hours a month for optional live sessions. Everything is recorded.
Will I have direct access to Giuseppe?
Yes, through the monthly live Q&A and the community. Pro and Inner Circle members get additional access, and Inner Circle includes a private two-hour mentoring session.
How large is each cohort?
Foundation admits up to 100 members, Pro up to 50 and Inner Circle up to 10.
Is it global, and in which language?
Yes. Members join from many countries and industries. The programme runs in English, with subtitles, and sessions are scheduled across time zones where possible.
Is it relevant if I am changing role?
Yes. Many members use it to sound more credible in senior conversations and to position themselves as strategic contributors.
When does the next cohort open?
The current cohort is sold out. Join the waitlist and you will hear about the next enrolment window first.
