Self-Leadership for Success

Programme overview

‘If only I’d known this sooner’. We hear it a lot. People are often promoted into their first leadership role as a result of being competent in their trade or profession. The irony is that the skills required to be competent in your work role are often very different to the skills required of a leader. Skills such as emotional intelligence, communication and the courage to have those difficult conversations.

This course prepares you for the transition. Gain awareness of your personal strengths, and become a confident communicator with the ability to connect and lead others.
