Bespoke Training: Leadership for Underrepresented Groups

Step Up and Maximise Your Impact

Overview

Diversity in the public sector has been improving steadily. Organisations reflect their communities by comprising teams of individuals from various backgrounds and identities, such as age, gender, ethnic groups, religion, and more. Yet, this progress does not yet translate into senior roles.

Having diversity in leadership is crucial for many reasons. A dynamic workforce brings a wealth of valuable knowledge, experience and relatable perspectives to your organisation, helping to drive innovation and propel organisational success from the top

Attend our Leadership for Underrepresented Groups course to create a personal vision of what it means to be a great leader and enhance your capabilities to meet this challenge. Define your values and career goals and develop your leadership style. Learn to react to opportunities and use practical tips to gain power and influence for stepping-up and progressing further.

Join exceptional professionals from across the public sector for high impact peer to peer learning and propel towards greater performance.​

Through expert-led discussions and practical exercises, identify strategies to lead with purpose and conviction, establish practical techniques to set boundaries and remain true to your vision. Leave the day with an action plan to become the leader you envisioned and overcome barriers to success.
