MarkTwo Consulting provides leadership development to many major companies with well established leadership development programs. It builds off these, where they are present, to provide an accelerator to this leadership development and still gets the feedback below from people who have completed many in-house programs (much more feedback is at two of the 3 links at the bottom of this page).

Examples: An executive manager from an international energy company completed a MarkTwo Consulting 2 day advanced leadership course. A few weeks later he joined a 5 day global leadership course held at a European Business School.  On his return to Australia he commented that the MarkTwo course was a much better and more practical course on leadership and life.
