XEd SPACE — Our specialist skills, knowledge and expertise
The three co-founders of XEd Space have enjoyed diverse careers in business, elite level international sport and the Australian military. For more than 15 years, all three have worked with the top Australian business schools (the Australian Graduate School of Management, Melbourne Business School, Sydney University’s John Grills Centre, and Mt Eliza Executive Education). Intellectual curiosity, and a desire to work with the leading organisations, to help translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills that leaders and organisations can implement to drive high performance have been the common threads.
But XEd Space brings much more to clients than simply the skills, knowledge and expertise of the founders. We specialise in navigating the space between clients that have business and performance needs that must be met, and a diverse and eclectic range of experts that can deliver to meet those client needs.
XEd Space and our team of associates are highly experienced in designing programs, facilitating, coaching (one on one and in teams), advising and building high performance capability both in international sport and business. And importantly, we rarely do it alone. It is simply part of our DNA to work with partnering organisations (clients, program owners, technology providers, business groups, business schools) to find the right people to deliver the right programs that deliver the best possible outcomes.

Because leadership never stops…
The XEd Tribe is a group of keen leadership fanatics that support and maintain relationships with the 'Tribe' to assist us all in shifting the dial in leadership performance.
XEd Tribe
We believe…
- that everyone has the right but maybe not the confidence, the tools or the experience to excel;
- that leadership lessons don’t need to take years or be learnt from trial and error;
- that modern organisations truly need highly capable and confident new leaders who can shift the dial and achieve great results; and
- that new leaders have the right to feel encouraged, challenged and supported with expert knowledge to accelerate their success.
XEd creates that space – the space for the courageous accelerated growth of key leaders who want to make a difference.
Preparing today’s leaders for tomorrow’s challenges
Since their founding in 1970, it’s been CCL’s mission to advance the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide. CCL strives to make the world a better place through more effective leadership.
CCL’s human-centered experiences ignite transformational and sustainable change for individuals, organizations, and the communities they serve.
CCL believes in the powerful potential impact of leadership on society. Effective leaders can transform individuals, organizations, communities, and our world.
That’s why CCL partner with others around the globe to build leadership capacity and support sustainable social change.
Together, we can be even stronger in our quest to improve the world. We readily embrace the opportunity to work with any individual or organization that sees leadership development as a means to deepen their impact.
CCL are excited to partner with XEd Space to deliver these experiences in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region.
For nearly two decades, the Financial Times has consistently ranked the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL)® among the world’s top providers of executive education.
The rankings are based on direct feedback from organizational and individual clients who rated leading executive education providers including Harvard, Wharton, IMD, and Insead for quality and impact. No other Australian organisations have ranked in the global top 10.
