Super Human: High Potential Program for SpiritSuper
Project Specs
Client: Spirit Super - Super Human HiPo Program
Industry: Superannuation
Format: 12 month program
Audience: 30 high potential employees from across the business
Project Summary
With a merger on the horizon and an industry in flux, Spirit Super recognised a crucial truth: future success depends not just on smart strategy, but on brave, alive leadership.
Having survived so far without a High Potential program, they knew they needed to do more than prepare a talent pipeline. They needed to activate a new kind of leader. One rooted in authenticity, creative agency, and human connection. Most High Potential programs deliver templates. Spirit Super wanted transformation.
That’s where Myke came in.
Headhunted for his unique approach and reputation for getting results, Myke was engaged to design and deliver the inaugural Spirit Super HiPo Program from end-to-end.
This wasn’t a one-off workshop or motivational keynote. It was a year-long arc of immersive, experiential development, crafted to awaken the unique genius of each participant while strengthening the cultural fabric of the organisation.
In Action
The
Shift
To ensure maximum impact, Myke structured the program to suit a variety of learning styles and preferences, but every touchpoint was designed to support one single aim. Every participant must feel the power of their unique gifts, talents, expertise and experience—then find the courage to start applying them at work (and in life).
He crafted a rhythm of immersive offsites, high-impact masterclasses, participant designed creative experiences, and executive mentoring touch points to give participants the connections, clarity and confidence to step into their potential.
From redefining what leadership is, what it looks like, and what it takes, to sparking bold, real-world action in their current projects and processes, the program became a living invitation to lead not just from role, but from self.
The Results:
Radical transformation. Participants didn’t just level up, they lit up. Many described the program as “life-changing,” “unlike anything we’ve ever done,” and “the first time I truly saw myself as a leader.”
New leaders emerged with clarity, confidence, and deep cultural buy-in—fueling cross-functional collaboration, visible innovation, and a stronger EVP. Many participants were promoted into new leadership roles, with responsibilities that aligned to their growth and the future Spirit Super is building.
The program became a touchstone of organisational renewal at a time when trust, alignment, and emotional engagement were more important than ever.
Why This Matters:
In the wake of disruption, your most powerful asset is your people. Not just in what they do, but in who they believe they are. When you create a developmental experience that invites their full humanity to the table, you don’t just grow leaders. You build a legacy.
If you're ready to launch or transform your high potential program into a platform for unleashing human talent, the best thing to do, is connect with Myke.
