What is the Transformative Leader Programme?
This unique and award-winning programme was originally created in response to some of the key challenges facing our Senior Leaders in our Public Services during the Pandemic.
The programme has been continually evolving ever since in supporting leaders to deal effectively with the realities and challenges of leadership, including uncertainty, stress and anxiety, the isolation of the role and the desire to transform our Public Services for the better in systems that are often resistant to change.
The Transformative Leader Programme is your opportunity to join a group of senior leaders across Northern Ireland’s public service to share experiences and challenges, build relationships and partnerships and spend time with passionate, driven, outcome focused individuals.
We bring together exceptional senior leaders, to explore effective approaches, frameworks and support systems for leading yourself, leading others and achieving more of the outcomes you want with confidence.
The programme uses approaches developed from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) & Systems Thinking, exploring habitual patterns of thinking, communication and behaviour in yourself and others and how small changes can improve outcomes and increase your ability to understand, influence and engage more effectively with stakeholders, colleagues and your team.
Who is it for?
If you want to evaluate and enhance your leadership approaches, seek out new thinking and experience an insightful personal journey of positive change for yourself and others, then the Transformative Leader is for you.
If you are considering or have identified that personal resilience, having a range of practical leadership tools and techniques, clarity of skills and strategies in how you make a difference or that your level of influence and confidence and your personal or professional growth is important to you, then this could be the journey for you.
If you want the support to effect real change and continue to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
What our previous delegates on the programme
have had to say:
“I have been re energised and reminded myself of my own value as a leader. The programme has made me
realise I am proud of my resilience and tenacity.”
“This course came at a very opportune time for me. After two years in response mode, it provided the
opportunity to reflect, rebalance & reaffirm why I want to make a difference. The various aspects have helped me renew my confidence & my skills & to be assured of my competence to lead in a way that I bring my team & other partners with me. With everyone having ownership & feeling empowered to make informed decisions to improve the way we work”
“I found it to be an excellent programme. I really like the fact each session built on the learning from the
previous session. This approach allowed us to consolidate the learning. I loved the humour!”
“A thoroughly engaging & inciteful programme. It does not expose any one person to their inner thoughts or concerns but rather creates a safe arena to try out new ideas & practical tools. It has enabled me to reflect on who I am, what I want, what I can do & how I can explore better learning, development, self confidence & self belief. It has also been great fun!”
“I have got as much from the programme personally as I have professionally acquired new skills which are as equally applicable in my day to day life and how I perceive and interact with those around me.”
“The 1-1 coaching sessions were excellent and in a different league from any I had experienced before.”
“This leadership programme offered fresh, new content. I’m loving the opportunity of using it more in the Organisation. We are using Logical Levels as part of our corporate strategy planning.”
