What other say about our Leadership Programmes

I have absolutely loved this course. It’s provided very timely challenges and training that always seem relevant to the challenges I’m seeing and trying to tackle at the time. It has also created time and opportunity for reflection and learning new things, and these lessons have had direct and tangible impacts on myself as a leader and on my business.

The Diagnostic is a particularly valuable tool which really transformed our business and provided insights and engagement with our staff that we would never have found otherwise. While it’s been pretty disruptive at times, we are now on the trajectory to becoming a much stronger business and this is 100% due to this course and the support of the Workplace Innovation team.

Chris Cox, CENEX
The Programme re-enforced that you have to go back to change all the time to embed it and make sure it’s  taking root, continues and doesn’t just peter out. It’s not just the fanfare at the beginning it’s the ongoing hard work to keep coaxing it down the road. It’s given me increased confidence around being able to make things change and happen, it exceeded all expectations and was enjoyable and rewarding. Invaluable faciliation of cultural change
David MacPherson, Charles River

This Programme affects the way people involved in change think and act and gives power to the change process

Sara Bianco Rodrigues, Kersia

I highly recommend the Programme and suggest that everyone should go in it. It works for every size of business
