"Attending the SLP (Strategic Leadership Programme) really turned the leadership lights on for me. Not only did it cause me to see new ways of leading it exposed the areas where my leadership was falling short.
Equipped with this new awareness and the tools to change I have now broken through the leadership ceiling I was hitting. I'm now serving my industry as a leader far more effectively. Thanks to Geoff and the SLP team for creating such an insightful course."

What a fantastic week! I was somewhat apprehensive and sceptical about the Programme, but as it came highly recommended I had to approach it with an open mind. As I was very new to this type of training I was a little anxious, but the team provided a wonderful environment that was extremely well planned and balanced making the week pass so quickly.

I was able to learn so much about myself which helped me acknowledge why and how I thought, and more importantly to realise the effect I have on others. It was a ‘once in a lifetime’ chance to work with a group of other leaders, sharing ideas and experiences making it so easy to put the leaning into a real world context. Being able to train within a small syndicate provided an excellent base for feedback, and keep things interesting with a few challenges between syndicates.

I look forward to being able to look back and reflect on my time with ISL and continue to put into practice some of the most valuable training I have received.

The ISL MBA programme would have to be the best learning 'adventure' I have personally and professionally ever experienced. I use the word 'adventure' because it was an incredible journey into understanding not only more about myself & what makes me tick but more importantly, what was required for me to take the step up from being a General Manager to a quality CEO and be best equipped to be fully boardroom ready.

Working with a great syndicate team (Rubix), I was constantly challenged to raise the bar and in the process not only was I able to embrace all of the learnings that was on offer but I was able to push myself to new levels of understanding & performance in a highly challenging yet collaborative environment.

If you want to become hardened to the realities of what makes a great senior leader at a CEO level, I have no doubt you will find that the ISL MBA programme will be an invaluable experience you will use for the rest of your life.

“The timing for me to attend this course was perfect, as I was feeling frustrated with some aspects of my leadership role, even though i was satisfied with most of it. So i turned up to the course very motivated to figure out what i should be doing differently.
On day one i had my first “light bulb moment” and the pace of learning continued from there. That was less than two months ago and I am already well on track to achieving my goals with renewed enthusiasm and commitment.
This is a really amazing course which encourages and supports individual learning at many different levels. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is motivated to enhance their leadership skills.”
