Leadership Development Program
This one-day course is designed to develop your skills and potential to lead people. Focusing on tools and case studies you can apply immediately at work, you will examine what it takes to be a credible and effective leader.
This leadership course is introductory and perfect for professionals who are starting out on their leadership journey and seeking to gain a stronger sense of themselves as leaders as they develop their careers.
The course will give you an overview of what leadership is, take a deep-dive into the decision-making process, teach how to motivate yourself and others, and give feedback. We also undertake some experiential learning to give you hands-on experience as you learn how to lead and manage other people.
Attendees take away new approaches to effective communication and will know how to motivate and engage team members to deliver results. The program will also develop your understanding of how to apply different strategies to develop your staff and to deal with operational and staff management issues.
Who should attend?
Supervisors, team leaders, and managers or individuals who are stepping up to a new leadership challenge.

“We had an excellent, engaging facilitator. This was a most useful course, filled with a good mix of the theoretical and the practical. I was very impressed by the facilitator’s knowledge, approachability and communication with very good broad evidence. Very impressive and motivational. Thank you!”
