Your steps to success

Step 1

Sign up now to receive details of how to secure your company’s spot, along with a custom powerpoint presentation for you to adapt and share at your next team meeting. Just fill in the form below.

Step 2

Identify two or more bosses within your company whose personal development plans would be enhanced by being pushed off a building. We will support each boss with creating a JustGiving page highlighting all the reasons they do (or for some reason don’t) want to take part.

Step 3

Invite staff from your company to fundraise to support the vital work of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices by donating to the JustGiving page of the boss they feel most deserves the honour of representing your company in this event.

Step 4

Whoever has received the biggest vote of staff confidence (by raising the most or least money) gets pushed off a building. (Do not attempt to push your boss off a building outside of this time or location).

The time and place

When pushing your boss off a building, it is important to select one that offers a mix of height, spectacle and awareness. 122 Leadenhall Street, also known as the Leadenhall Building, and to most Londoners as the Cheesegrater due to its iconic shape, is the sixth tallest building in London, and it’s 225-metre-tall summit offers fantastic views of the capital combined with impressive boss-pushoffability potential. This event will take place on Friday 19 September – we suggest putting in a must-attend midday meeting about companywide metrics or similar to prevent any bosses accidentally deliberately trying to book the day off as holiday.
