leadership & communication
RESOURCES
Our approach to learning is based on the philosophy that leadership is a complex set of skills that need to be continuously honed and practiced.
​
Our action learning workshops provide a safe and supportive place to do this. Through simulations, role-plays and collaborative forums, attendees are encouraged to experiment with a range of practical approaches to various leadership challenges. Every participant is given feedback and coaching which is tailored to their individual development needs.
​
To maximise the time spent in workshops on action learning we have created a suite of videos explaining the frameworks, models and principles on which our workshops are based. As a precursor to the workshop experience, these videos give participants the base knowledge and understanding that they need to be able to practice and experiment within the workshop environment.
