Leading Learning: The Purpose, Role & Practice of Leadership Development

New six-day masterclass for the 'leaders of leaders'

SYDNEY 25-30 JUNE 2012

Leading Learning: The Purpose, Role & Practice of Leadership Development is a first for Australia—a new program especially designed to give leadership development and change practitioners new skills, insights and ideas to achieve their goals and start working with fresh inspiration and impetus in their uniquely challenging roles.

This is an opportunity for senior professionals working either within organisations or as external consultants in

• Organisation Development
• Leadership Development
• Talent Development
• Culture Change
• HR, Capability Development and Succession Planning

Leading Learning will not only provide you with insights into an innovative and powerful approach to leadership development—one which is unlike anything else in Australia—but it will also take you beyond the ‘tools’ to address the particular difficulties you face in your role.

Learn to:

• Immediately start working with a cutting edge new model of leadership development with demonstrated success in building capability to tackle complex problems across all types of organisations
• Get leadership development where it belongs on an organisation’s strategic agenda
• Start working politically to overcome scepticism and gain authority and influence in what is often an undervalued and isolated position and, lastly,
• Join a new national community of practice in this specialised field.

Leading Learning offers you the chance to reconnect with what inspires you to do your work—developing real leadership to deliver meaningful progress for individuals, organisations and community stakeholders.

Testimonials

"Most of my career has been as an HR Director in large corporates. Leadership development has been a passion of mine - I've researched, designed, facilitated and participated in it and been the guinea pig for countless psychometric instruments and 360 degree surveys. So, when I attended my first SLA leadership development program, I didn't expect to learn a lot of new things. I was wrong. Both the content and teaching methodology were more powerful and transforming than any other material I'd previouisly exeprienced, including that of blue chip market leaders. I've shamelessly lifted many of SLA's ideas, techniques and models and incorporated them into programs I run for the companies I work with."

- Deborah Burt, Director, People & Corporate Sustainability, Australia Pacific, Parsons Brinckerhoff

"The true test of the success of a learning program is that almost a year later it continues to have impact and resonance. The greatest influence this program had for me is that it lives up to its name: Leading Learning. Each day provided opportunities for new insights and changing perspectives.  Never boring, always challenging, there were many layers of learning. Most importantly we learnt about ourselves, who we are, who we are becoming and how we in turn influence learning in others. This program took us beyond simply 'knowing about' to the deeper 'knowing and embodying'. If we are to lead the learning of others, we need to lead our own learning first. Finally, it goes without saying that it's the connections with like-minded participants which strengthen the impact of this masterclass: throughout and beyond."
