All aboard Challenger 3 for the IOL Strategic Leadership Workshop - 2 days
IOL Strategic Leadership Workshop
12-13 November, Aboard Challenger 3, Tall Ships Trust, Portsmouth
A 2-day workshop led by Leading Practitioners of the IOL. This is for those with a senior and strategic role in their organisation, or who are seeking to develop their career to take on higher levels of responsibility.
The outdoor learning sector is always subject to many influences and challenges, just as we are, in our working environments.
There comes a point when we all realise that leadership is not something to only trust in the hands of others – it is something we must embrace ourselves. We realise we do have the vision, we can inspire, and we can achieve.
Strategic Leadership is about developing a clear direction to achieving our goals and considers the means to get there.
