Over the last few years, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with QLD Health to design and deliver what is known as the Next Generation Leadership Program. A program aimed at lifting capability of future leaders to successfully perform in executive leadership roles within the next three years.
This program offers a broad range of elements including:
- Business, customer, and leadership-based workshops
- Action Learning Group challenges
- 1-to-1 and group coaching
- Leader lounges
- Guest speakers
Dr Kate Joyner explains more about the program:
Despite COVID-19 adding some challenges along the way, we’re delighted to have had some forty plus participants go through this program, to date, and equally as delighted with the wonderful feedback that they’ve shared with us. Some of the feedback shared from current and past participants, includes:
