Event Details


This retreat will be an expanded and customized version of the successful Effective Leadership program. The Effective Leadership program is an introduction to range of models, theories and practices that are acknowledged as critical to leading effectively at a team level. It forms the basis for individuals to begin exploring and further developing their own leadership style grounded in best practice leadership behaviors.

A Learning Circle is an interactive, participatory group that provides members with the opportunity to learn from their own and others’ experiences, test ideas and share ongoing feedback through peer to peer coaching. The goal is to build, share, and express knowledge through a process of open dialogue and deep reflection around issues or problems experienced in the workplace. The structure balances individual ownership with collective responsibility to provide a setting which helps everyone to identify and achieve theirs’ and the group’s objectives.

Importantly, each Learning Circle is self-directed with support available as required. This means that each group will decide on a theme / subject area for their three-monthly meeting and the members will be required to take turns organising how the meeting will be structured and what it will include.
