Programme Overview
Individuals in governance roles know that sustainable performance is at the heart of their role.

We help you to change mindsets to generate alignment with a common purpose and shared vision.

Support
A critical component of the programme is to facilitate internalisation. Leading with authenticity can only be accomplished through self-awareness and reflection.
The combination between face-to-face learning and self-study throughout is supported by facilitating communication channels. Slack is used to facilitate cross-cohort conversation, and email is used to exchange learner input.
