Leadership Development Program – Vancouver, Canada

Updated 7 August 2013


"Excellent Course, it felt like someone highlighted your inner thoughts"

A record 40 participants attended the Foundational Leadership Development Program that was held in Vancouver on July 5th - July 7th, 2013.


On the first day, facilitators set the scene by introducing key themes such as capability vs capacity, the power of the self, authenticity, respect vs tolerance, and leadership. These themes were then developed over three days using various exercises and concepts such as Emotional Intelligence to enhance learning.

Finally, an outdoor role play exercise was facilitated whereby participants could put their learning into action and practice the various skills they had learned.

The feedback from the course was positive with one participant commenting: "Before taking the course I thought I had all the answers, now I understand that was my personality not allowing me to see outside the box".
