Lead the Way – Leadership Program Overview

Lead the Way – for our existing partners looking to take their leadership to the next level, co-designed and delivered by Social Impact Hub.

A program designed for CEOs and senior leaders in the for-purpose sector to further develop their leadership skills, connect with other purpose-driven leaders, and strengthen their impact-driven organisation. This immersive and practical program will prepare participants to be empathetic, values-driven leaders, who are clear on the impact they want to create, and how they are going to drive change.

“I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn, share and be alongside others in this space. To be vulnerable and feel supported. To have the moment to reflect on the skills I do have and where I excel, as well as be exposed to difficult topics that I would otherwise avoid. Thank you for this experience.”  Annette Brodie, CEO, The Reconnect Project.
