Leadership in Action - To apply - Please download and complete this booking form

Overview:
Leadership in Action is a three-day intensive experiential leadership programme designed to prepare early career researchers for leadership in their chosen research field and which will also place them in good stead to show leadership within the wider community.

The course will help you to:

Explore the concept of leadership.
Build confidence in your leadership style.
Give yourself more choices in how you lead.
Understand the impact you have on those you are leading.
Influence people towards a common goal.
Identify how these skills can benefit you in your current research role and beyond.

Here is what previous participants have said about this course

“What a great range of leadership experiences!”

“I attended the ‘Leadership In Action’ course expecting to pick up a few tips, the odd insight. I left 6 inches taller, with increased confidence, team skills and total satisfaction.”

“The course is not merely excellent but superlative.”

What does the course involve?

Practical, experiential learning, rather than lectures.
A chance for all participants to lead a group project.
Support and feedback on your leadership style from expert coaches.

You need no previous or current leadership experience to apply. What you do need is a commitment to learn about yourself, to reflect on and improve on your leadership and to help others do the same.
