Theme One

Understanding who I am right now as a Leader

Discover who you really are, recognising your strengths, weaknesses & individual style.  Great leaders choose and build a deliberate individual leadership style rather than imitating, following or assuming one.

This work builds deep confidence and self-belief. You will design and practice new attitudes and actions that build understanding and engagement around you.   You’ll learn coaching approaches that are essential to later parts of the program.
