Learning to Lead

A one-year, part-time programme

We believe that the best leaders have the skills to empower and develop colleagues, and that nothing is more powerful than you as leader modelling the behaviours and attitudes you expect from your team or organisation.

This programme is built on the idea that Leadership, as well as being about vision and strategy and planning, is also about how you are with people day to day and moment to moment.

What's Different about This Programme?

The essence of this innovative programme is to develop you as an influencer who can integrate intellectual, emotional, personal and other learning into your interactions with individuals, groups and teams. We will work with you to grow and nurture your self-awareness and skills as a leader, facilitator and coach.
