Leadership Programs

Why Leadership?

We view leadership as the ability to mobilise others to achieve important outcomes. We believe that leadership is an activity, not a formal authority role, meaning that anyone can exercise leadership anywhere at any time.

We focus on purpose, ethics and values, developing adaptive leaders who are inquisitive and reflective. Leaders who want to make a difference and have the skills and mindset to do so.

Our Learning Model

Our Learning Model aims to change the way you exercise leadership and solve problems. We base our work on teaching best practice leadership competencies and principles, but what makes us unique is how we blend this with storytelling and purpose.

We strive to build a strong holding environment, so that we can challenge participants to step outside of their comfort zone. This is always driven with heart, purpose and ethics, with an aim to disrupt and produce change and learning.

We draw on key research from the leadership field and beyond, and continually refresh our methodology and approach to ensure we apply contemporary thinking and best practice in our programs. Our programs cater for all levels of leadership and are delivered in a range of formats.

  • Awareness and clarity of personal leadership purpose

Past Programs

Joan Kirner Emerging Leaders Program

The Joan Kirner Emerging Leaders Program honours the legacy of the late Joan Kirner AC. As Victoria’s first woman premier, she blazed a trail for women in public life and public office. It honours this legacy and supports future generations of young Victorian women to follow in her footsteps.

The aim is to empower and support women to identify the leadership challenges they face and develop practical skills and strategies to advance their leadership careers.

Participants took part in interactive learning development workshops, collaborative group work, structured networking, and mentoring activities, and hear from guest speakers that are shifting the perceptions of young women in leadership.
