Our Leadership Programme
“I have been on other leadership programmes but this one has allowed me to really reflect and think about my personal and professional development”
“I am less reactive, reflecting more and taking time out to actually lead. I learnt some extremely useful things and it was great to gain some experience from the private sector, which can be used in the public sector”
