ON YOUR MARKS
In April 2010, Wavelength launched our exciting new membership programme, Wavelength Connect, with a three-day residential event ‘On Your Marks’ designed to begin the year-long process of leadership development, connection and inspiration. We have a fabulously diverse and talented group of Connect members in 2010 ranging from leaders of globally renowned companies to up and coming social entrepreneurs determined to change the world.
Leadership
In our Leadership Sofa session we heard Jude Kelly, Artistic Director, Southbank, Richard Sambrook, Director Global News Division, BBC, David Smith, former People Director, ASDA, and Floyd Woodrow MBE DCM LL.B speak with incredible honesty and passion about what it takes to be a leader. Listen Again to our podcast.
Inspiration
One of the focuses of Connect is getting inside 'best in class' organisations and understanding what makes them tick. At On Your Marks we heard from some of the word's most exciting and innovative businesses who challenged our thinking on how companies can be run: Aaron Magness, Zappos.com, Las Vegas, Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu soleRebels, Ethiopia, Hans Erik Brønserud, Middelfart Sparekasse, Denmark, and Louise Bang, Ritz-Carlton Hotels. Listen Again to our podcasts of Zappos.com and soleRebels.
Connectivity
Across the three days Wavelength designed a range of group, one on one, sometime facilitated, sometimes not, activities to make sure that the Connect members really got to know each other and started connecting and supporting one another in engaging, authentic, fun ways - and, as is the Wavelength way, there was some randomness in there too, to keep it all fresh and energized.

Participant feedback:
“One of my fellow members said that “Day 4” was the time when we would really have chance to absorb a lot of the content from the days before, and I can honestly say that is 100% true … I am staggered at what I have learned, the interesting people I have met, and the thoughts that you and they have provoked. I feel incredibly inspired, and somewhat humbled... THANK YOU. I look forward to the rest of the journey.”
- Andrew Hart, Deloitte
“What a fantastically inspiring gathering of people, organisations, experience and the opportunity for ideas in abundance to be explored, all held in a perfect setting. I have taken away a lot from the event – a chance to reflect on who I am as a leader, what more I want to contribute to this world, ideas for Columba 1400 and a huge sense that some as yet unknown great things will develop”
