Module 1: It Starts with Self
The programme starts with self-awareness and includes the CliftonStrengths assessment to provide individuals with invaluable data about their strengths – the things they naturally do best – and how these will help you to lead, meet your goals and improve the success when working as part of a team. It also highlights their blind spots to watch out for and weaknesses they may need to manage around.
After completing the assessment they will have a 90 minute one to one coaching session with a Certified Strengths Coach and access to a customised dashboard and further resources and tools to help them learn how to do more of they do best
Module 2: Me as a Leader
In this module participants will expand on their self-awareness, developing greater insights into their story, experiences and influences. They will explore their own leadership style, biases, values, purpose, strengths, risks and how these show up in their own behaviours and their relationship with others. They will also experience peer support and challenge to stretch themselves and each other in their learning.
Module 3: Leading Others
In this module participants will explore the concept of trust and how you gain and build it together with ways to build influence and relationships.

They will also experience peer support and challenge to stretch themselves and each other in their learning.
Module 4: Conversations that Matter
In this module participants will explore conversations that drive performance and engagement in the workplace, how this links to wellbeing together with tools and techniques for dealing with difficult conversations.
