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.

A


Your organisation

A broad population. Build a common language on customers, premium value, innovation, AI and cross-functional collaboration.

Breadth and alignment

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

The next step

From first conversation to launch.

A learning and networking community for managers and executives ready to think and operate at executive level. Learn how senior leaders decide, alongside a curated global peer group and the CEOs who lead some of the world’s best-known brands.

04


A curated peer group

A moderated community of high-potential peers across industries, functions and regions.

It is for you if

  • You are an experienced manager, executive or entrepreneur whose growth has slowed despite strong results
  • You are preparing for a broader role and want to think like the people who already hold it
  • You want a sharper strategic voice in the rooms where decisions are made
  • You value a curated peer group across industries and regions

It is not for you if

  • You are looking for shortcuts or motivation alone
  • You prefer passive learning to active exchange
  • You are at the start of your career and building core skills
  • You want a generic course with a certificate

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.
