It has given me connection and perspective
I knew how to get things done in my workplace but I couldn’t have articulated the theories and frameworks to explain why what I was doing worked. Completing this study gave me a language that allows me to engage with Senior/Executive leaders within the organisation; to anticipate their needs and drivers. This helped me to be prepared with sound evidence-based approaches to improved business outcomes.Kristen Walker, Enterprise Leadership program participant -

From understanding people to creating change, I have a whole tool kit that I can now tap into.Katie Bickerton, Enterprise Leadership program participant -
