Overview
The Advanced Personal Leadership Programme is an individually tailored and entirely practical course. Taught through group work, real-life leadership challenges and 1:1 coaching, it offers a unique learning experience where you can gain deeper insights and experiment with new behaviours in a safe and supportive space.
Through direct, real-time feedback you will have the opportunity to see yourself as others see you, becoming aware of the impact you have, and can have, on others. This process can act as a catalyst for profound conversations and real personal change to make you a more effective leader.
Working as part of a small, engaging cohort of peers, you will explore your leadership strengths and areas for development. You will come away from the programme with a personal leadership development plan, and new skills based on your experiences during the programme, enabling you to make an immediate practical impact back in your organisation.

"I really wasn’t prepared for how personal this programme is, but I suppose the clue is in the title! It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced."
