Strategic Leadership Programme #22 - March 2008

Rob McDonald

"The SLP is a unique Programme in that it is a week of total reflection on you and your attributes as a leader. The insights and learning's over that week are invaluable. Having been on several executive education courses in the past, the SLP is quite exceptional in the amount of focus and one on one time from the coaches. The ability to seek and get guidance from coaches and other participants makes it stand out from the rest.

The great thing about the week is your personal life will benefit as much as your work life. It how is amazing how energised and empowered you feel coming away from the Programme. "

"I have raved about this Programme to anyone who cares to listen because it focused on how to be a better leader.

In a positive, supportive environment all participants were able to reflect on what they did well and what they could do better in their various roles as leaders. I am still inspired by the programme and Geoff Lorigan's team who ably guided us all through the week.

An absolute must for any leader who wants to make a difference and lead a high performing team. "

"The leaders on the programme we were connected to exchange ideas, pursue learning and share strategies to achieve personal growth and achieve professional success. We were invited to go on a path of lifetime learning and address the challengers that leaders face ever day - how to balance our lives and lead from the helicopter view.

It was eye-opening, challenging, fascinating and extremely clever. In one week we mirrored all the complexities of everyday life and will have all moved forward as more authentic leaders. "

"I found out a lot about my leadership style in my "one short week" at Millbrook; what I was good at and areas where I could do better. This was achieved in a truly self learning style with a lot of support from my fellow participants. The results have been remarkable and I am now putting the ideas and the new "way I work around here" into practice back at work.

I was able to participate with a small team of high achievers where I experienced and came to understand how a team can perform so that 1+1=3.

This was accomplished in the superb environment of Millbrook, with the fantastic support of the ISL team. I only wish I had taken this Programme earlier in my career. "
