Introduction

Developing leadership skills is more than learning to be a good manager. Great leadership is first and foremost an “inside job”. Before we can lead others with influence and confidence, we must first find the inner qualities and strengths to lead ourselves with conviction. Leadership from this perspective is a manifestation of our unique personal power, purpose and vision.

The Inner Journey of Leadership Mastery is a two-part program that focuses precisely on developing those vast inner resources we all possess.

The seminar is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Leadership Development: Self-Awareness, Skills and Strategies

MODULE II - Leadership, Critical Thinking and Innovation: Igniting Creativity for Workplace Excellence

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a two-week seminar.
