Everyone is talking about inclusion and effective leadership, but it isn't clear how you can do it effectively in the reality of your role and organisation!

This is for you if ...

You want to engage in research-driven leadership strategies that have a real impact and improve your overall leadership. 

You feel overwhelmed with all the generic advice, rising expectations, and a lack of clarity about what "good" looks like.  

You worry about getting it wrong or saying the wrong thing, and it feels like a vulnerability that could catch you out. 

You are uncertain about the steps you need to take to become a more effective and inclusive leader. 

Many people  I work with express the same concerns, and it can get in the way of them being effective and having the impact they want!

ADVANCED LEARNING LABS:

PEER-TO-PEER PRACTICE:

A learning portfolio will be developed throughout the programme and required for assessment before certification. This ensures that you are applying the learning, not just storing the information. 

• Work well with others, regardless of values, beliefs, and experiences. 
  

• Base decisions on research-driven practices instead of moral judgements or guesstimations. 

• Never again waste time and energy on HR nightmares that are avoidable.

The session last night was great - what I love about [Sile’s] insights is the applicability - I can always envisage situations in which I could “pick up on “ bids for instance, or accept influence - I thought that was really fascinating. 

Also, value the fact that being collaborative is a skill I have anyway but only beginning to realise the value it has as a leadership skill. Really great work Sile!

I have a stronger understanding of my own leadership style and strategies on how to leverage this to build relationships and further develop my leadership. I understand my strengths and development areas and have a number of strategies to support this which has helped me progress with more confidence.
