Great course! I really liked the way the course has been structured and delivered i.e relatively complex theories and approached were delivered in simple and easy to understand/remember/apply manner. Thanks a lot!

Andrey Shabunin, 2024 course participant

The course has really helped me explore my values and how I can live them and apply them in my leadership. I have discovered what type of leadership style I have. I loved the frameworks and tools to help me provide structured feedback and have the difficult conversations. I will use all the information provided and refer back to it often to become a better leader.

Sally Lamb, 2024 course participant

The course surprised me at the amount of information and the accurate level it was provided at. Having additional readings with direction to better understand both ourselves and ourselves as leaders was extremely helpful. I plan to implement a lot that I have taken out of the course, and I also look forward to utilising some of the resources in the future.

Amanda West, 2024 course participant

The course was very rewarding. I appreciated the focus on navigating leadership challenges. The provided case studies are relatable to day-to-day challenges. I have enjoyed the course and found it immensely valuable, and I would recommend it to my colleagues and team.

Vinicius Rocha, 2024 course participant

I've done a reasonable amount of leadership training over my career and generally you might get one, maybe two takeaways but this one was different - I think it was pitched at exactly the right level for me. The biggest a-ha moment for me was the change needed to transition from a technical role to a purely leadership role. Until this course I had never considered the impact of still taking on technical work was having on my team.

Andrew Payne, 2024 course participant

The most notable and enjoyable aspect for me was how this course related directly to a mining operation. The examples used and how things were explained made it that ever more related and influential.

Viv Naidu, 2024 course participant

For me the surprise was more around what I took away from the content. Weeks 1 -2 were more a refresh of what I'd done in the past, while week 3 -4 began to expand or shine light on things that had been successful or not successful in the past and why. I enjoyed the reflection throughout the course, and will take the work done around trust and feedback back to help build my skills, but also share and coach so that my team can benefit from these also. 

2024 course participant

The Manager as Leader and Influencer Short Course was comprehensive and insightful, covering a range of relevant topics... Real World examples helped to enhance the learning in a practical sense. I have done a little bit of training in leadership however I found this course to recap on areas that I have been familiar with, and highlighted where I needed to focus more on with my leadership skills.
