What would it mean for you as a leader, if you had the capability, the will and the confidence to deal with any challenge that comes your way?

This program could be the game changer for your career progression, job satisfaction and, ultimately, your financial security. 

I've taken my 30+ years of practical leadership experience and created this program based on my tried and tested strategies; the 7 Pillars of Leadership Performance unlock the secrets of exceptional leadership. 

I left my role as CEO of a multi-billion dollar business because I want to improve the quality of leaders globally - starting with you. 

Leadership Beyond the Theory is Your CEO Mentor's flagship 7-week leadership program, designed to produce confident leaders who stand out from the pack.

The program is built upon Marty's 7 Pillars of Leadership Performance, and is delivered through a series of short interactive video-based lessons, each week a different module challenging your thinking and behaviours. 

The concepts are deceptively simple, but incredibly powerful, driven from the experience of a successful CEO.

Each lesson delivers practical insights that will unlock your potential and exponentially increase your leadership effectiveness. 

From here, the results flow, and so do the rewards.

"I don’t think there is anything else like Leadership Beyond the Theory on the market. You look out there and there’s not a lot of simple, practical, online leadership education of this quality to be found. I think you’ve found a real niche.”

"If you want a tactical value return, put a handful of your leaders through LBT. But I can guarantee you, if you were able to institutionalise the program, you would create a highly constructive culture, which would deliver immense value to any organisation.”

"The program didn’t just change my view on leadership, it gave me a suite of practical tools and an awareness of core concepts that I can now use to build my career and personal leadership style.”

Our three step process

If you complete all three steps each week, we guarantee that you will boost your leadership skills

  • Watch the videos

    Each week for seven weeks, you will gain access to a new module that consists of easy-to-follow videos with accompanying worksheets and resources. We recommend allowing 30 minutes each day. This will allow time to reflect on the content, and integrate the techniques into your existing leadership repertoire.

  • Build your network

    Exchange ideas and have discussions on best practice with your cohort in a private Leadership Beyond the Theory group. It is here that we will post Q&A videos, as well as extra resources that are required throughout the program.

  • Live Q&A with Marty

    Every Sunday (different sessions will run depending on your time zone) you will have live access to Marty through a Q&A video conference, where you will be able to further consolidate your learning of each module. While these sessions aren't compulsory, we highly recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity.

The next cohort will run in July 2019, so make sure you're on the wait list to be the first to know when doors open! We will be limiting the cohort numbers to ensure every student gets the attention they need to succeed.

Is this program for me?

  • You aspire to be the best

    Despite the long hours, professional development and years of experience, many leaders know that they aren't yet performing at their peak. This program unlocks latent leadership potential.

  • You're frustrated

    Leaders are ambitious by nature; frustration comes when results don't. When career defining outcomes are achieved, rewards for the leader follow. This program is the catalyst for exceptional results.

  • You don't feel in control

    If you don't feel as though you have control of your team and the results they produce, this program will help you take control and establish your brand as a highly respected leader.

Wealth of knowledge and support

Jane Frank, Manager Stakeholder Engagement

The inspiration and support I received from Martin was invaluable in helping me transition to a senior role suited to my values, strengths and attributes. His wealth of knowledge and ability to simplify an overwhelming process gave me the best possible roadmap for success and I am enormously grateful for the opportunity to have been mentored by him.
Seth Rodgers, GM Strategic Projects

Real, No BS Insights

Seth Rodgers, GM Strategic Projects

Marty's extensive C-level experience helped to pull back the iron curtain on the inner workings of the executive team and the board. This insight was not company lines but real, no BS insight into how senior people work with each other. These insights significantly accelerated my career by knowing how to deftly navigate extremely complex situations.
Owen Hanson, Project Manager and Business Consultant

Confidence building

Creates clarity

Shane Royle, General Manager

A fresh, no bullsh!t approach to developing your leadership style delivered by an experienced, successful leader. Marty brings relevance and clarity to business related issues that go beyond the text to ensure you hold both yourself and your people to account and deliver results.

Your teacher

From university drop out to CEO of a multi-billion dollar business, Marty forged a successful 30+ year career working for a range of blue-chip companies across multiple industries. He demonstrated career agility before it was trendy, holding senior executive roles in Sales and Marketing, Finance, Strategy, and IT.

Best known as the CEO who turned around CS Energy, he led his team to implement sustainable culture change, driving earnings growth from $18m to $441m, a compound annual growth rate of 125%.

Marty has stepped out of his corporate CEO role to focus on his passion project, Your CEO Mentor, where his purpose is to improve the quality of leaders globally. A strong believer in the adage that "leadership drives culture; culture drives performance", Marty is committed to helping organisations deliver real value uplift through improving leadership capability, and unlocking the latent potential of the workforce.

A life-long learner with insatiable curiosity, Marty holds an MBA from the QUT Graduate School of Business, and is a graduate of Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program.

FAQ

  • How long will it take me to complete the program?

    A new module will be released each week for 7 weeks starting in the first week of July, after which you will have access to the entire program, for life.

  • How much does the program cost?

    The investment for Leadership Beyond the Theory (tax deductible of course) is $2,250+GST AUD. If this only brought your next promotion 12 months closer, it could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to you!

  • Can I go on a payment plan?

    Yes. You can pay the whole cost up front (and save a few hundred dollars), or you can go on a 3 month payment plan. We want to make this program as economically viable as possible, so get in touch if you need longer terms and we'll work with you on a case by case basis.

  • Do you have a money back guarantee?

    Yes. We believe so strongly that you will benefit from this content, that we offer a 100% money back guarantee. You can find more info on that at www.yourceomentor.com/moneybackguarantee

  • Will I have direct access to Marty?

    Absolutely. Each week Marty will run a weekly Q&A session via video conference. We'll run different sessions depending on your time zone, which you'll become aware of in the first week of the program. While these sessions aren't compulsory, we highly recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity. It will give you a chance to ask Marty questions about that week's module, and gain any clarity you need to start implementing.

  • Why is this program different from any other?

    We think our students outline this pretty well in their case studies which you can find at www.yourceomentor.com/case studies, but we think that this program is unique because it is taught by a successful CEO who has already walked the path. Marty's '7 Pillars of High Performance Leadership' distills his 30+ years of leadership success into a proven, practical roadmap. It simplifies complex leadership concepts, and gives you the tools to actually implement change.

  • Can I share my login?

    No. Whereas it is physically possible to share your login, this would be the same as ‘pirating’ any content (such as movies and music). We know that you are leaders with high integrity, and we trust you to respect this.

  • What will I receive upon completion of the program?

    You will receive a Leadership Beyond the Theory certificate that outlines the modules you have completed.
