Programme Content

Sessions include the opportunity for Leading Figures to share models and research as well as learning and development tools, insights and information on a variety of topics that are likely to be of interest to aspiring leaders such as: the Mindset for Personal Growth; Introduction to Leadership; Stepping up to a Leadership Role; Leading a team and the Meaning of Inclusive Leadership; Developing Emotional Intelligence; and Building Resilience.

I recently attended the Aspiring Leaders programme. Thomas and Russell led the group sessions, sharing their knowledge on a variety of topics that affect those developing into, or already in, leadership roles. They created a collaborative and open environment, encouraging all involved to share their own experiences and difficulties. I worked with Thomas in the 1:1 sessions – he was great! He really helped me pinpoint the key issues holding me back, which allowed us to explore how to overcome those challenges and improve my confidence as a leader, both professionally and personally. I highly recommend the programme."
