Strategic Leadership Programme

Stephen Weller

“In the week after I returned from the Strategic Leadership Program I was repeatedly asked by my staff and my colleagues – how was the program? In answering this I consistently indicated that it was the most powerful professional development that I have undertaken in my twenty year career in tertiary education leadership. It truly is a powerful program and one I would commend without hesitation.
The opportunity to undertake personal and professional reflection, and to do so in an environment that was supportive from my fellow participants and the program coaches, was truly exceptional.
The physical environment and experience of Millbrook was both an added extra as well as a personal highlight”.

"The Strategic Leadership Program was a fantastic experience. It was challenging, confronting, exhausting and fun - and a 'safe' way to say and do things you wouldn't or couldn't do in a normal work environment.
The SLP and, in particular, my syndicate group and coach, has instilled a level of confidence, ability, self-belief and drive that I didn't have before. And Millbrook is just heaven on earth. Thanks to all the SLP team - Susan"

The Strategic Leadership Programme targets those in leadership positions and everything i.e. the programme content and delivery, the personnel, the participants and the setting, is geared towards providing an optimum environment to improve leadership capacity, capability and competency.
The ISL Team are all highly qualified and skilled in their fields of expertise. They ensured seamless, timely transitions from one learning experience to another over the seven days. They also ensured that participants were well supported both as individuals and as team members.
The Strategic Leadership Programme was an invaluable experience.

"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."

"The unknown is a wonderful place! Not many, particularly leaders of organisations or divisions of organisations like getting out of their comfort zones, however not only is it not a bad place (out of comfort zone) but it is also very rewarding.
The Strategic Leadership Program does not teach you – it creates the opportunity for one to explore and learn – accordingly I would recommend to anyone in a leadership position."
