As a leader in tech – whether you work in IT for a major firm, or run a start-up from the spare room – you are building the future. Successful tech businesses are growing rapidly, and  brilliant individual contributors must step up to lead teams of people. For just about everyone, this is not an easy and natural transition: there is a skill set to acquire, and a science to learn. This course will help both emerging and established leaders navigate the world of leadership in a powerful and transformative way, to optimise and maximise the impact they have on their teams, businesses and themselves.

The course, led by Cameron Venter, is founded on four pillars of impactful leadership: self-awareness, self-leadership, relational intelligence, and performance. As part of the self-awareness pillar, each delegate completes a personality assessment before the first session. From this starting point, the course constantly prioritises finding the strategies and tools for each participant to achieve effective leadership in the best way for their own individual attributes and style.

The format is group workshop sessions held once a week for 2 hours over 8 consecutive weeks. Throughout the process, you’ll have an opportunity to put your learning into practice, and reflect on what’s working for you and your team. You’ll be able to observe improvements in real time – and by the end of the course, you’ll have seen how everything gets better when a leader raises their game.
