2019 Global
Leadership Program
In 2019, two
Churchill Fellows were
given the opportunity
to participate in the
Global Leadership
Practices (GLP)
Program, a leadership
development program
made possible through
our partnership with
Yellow Edge.
In line with our aim of investing
in our Fellows to increase their
personal success and capacity
to implement positive change in
their community, the Churchill
Trust in partnership with Yellow
Edge offers Fellows the chance to
experience either China or India
as participants in Yellow Edge’s
Global Leadership Practices
Program.
The Global Leadership Practices
Program is designed to expose
Australian executives from the
government, private and not for profit
sectors to what is going on behind
the scenes in China and India.
These countries are vitally important
to Australia’s long-term economic
well-being and participants learn how
decisions are made, become familiar
with the political economy, the socioeconomic and public policy, and the
innovation context of each of these
countries.

Participants get to meet and engage
with influential business executives
and senior public service officials
and come away with a richer, more
balanced perspective and privileged
insight into how these countries work.
To be considered for a placement,
Churchill Fellows need to
demonstrate how participating
in this program will advance their
Fellowship journey and demonstrate
the impact they have made since
going on their Fellowship.
The placements are valued
between $10,000 – $16,500
each, which includes the program,
accommodation, meals and internal
transport.
The Churchill Trust will cover the
airfares for two Churchill Fellow
participants so the opportunity
is accessible to all Fellows. Travel
costs to attend the primer and
consolidation sessions are also
covered by the Trust.

In 2019, Churchill Fellows Sam
Bayley and Stephen Geason
travelled to India where they gained
new perspectives and networks to
continue their Churchill Fellowship
journey.
