An Intensive 10-day Training Course
Leadership Mastery
Realising your Leadership Potential through Self-Discovery
Course Introduction
Developing leadership skills is more than learning to be a good manager. Great leadership is first and foremost an “inside job”. Before we can lead others with influence and confidence, we must first find the inner qualities and strengths to lead ourselves with conviction. Leadership from this perspective is a manifestation of our unique personal power, purpose and vision.
This Inner Journey of Leadership Mastery is a two-part OXFORD Management & Leadership training Course that focuses precisely on developing those vast inner resources we all possess.
