Broaden your executive leadership impact and strategic influence.

It provides the skills and tools for you to tackle challenges leading yourself, leading others and leading the business.

  • use feedback to leverage strengths and address development areas
  • build and maintain resilience, while dealing with new responsibilities and operating contexts
  • employ modern tools and techniques to communicate confidently and lead others effectively
  • create valuable networks of cross-agency colleagues for future support and collaboration
  • develop a strategic outlook to solve complex problems in a rapidly changing, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment
