Feedback from 2009 participants:

“I found it energising, challenging and interesting. One of the most useful aspects of the course is the interaction it offers with others in the program in a variety of contexts.”

– Phillipa Wells, University of Ballarat (2009 Participant)

“I have learned a huge amount about my leadership ability and style, my personality preferences and leadership in research environments. I was pleased to have my leadership capabilities affirmed, but more importantly for me, I got specific feedback on why and how what I do works for specific people.”
