The Committee for Wyndham (C4W) will host a series of free online sessions next month devoted to developing and enhancing participant’s leadership skills.
The Reconnect & Recover Through Strong Leadership (R&R) program is aimed at local businesses, along with community and sporting clubs and not-for-profit organisations.
C4W chief executive Barbara Mclure said the five-part series has been developed from the successful Future Leaders of the West initiative, which the committee has run since 2012.
Ms McLure said the R&R sessions have been funded through Wyndham council’s Reconnect & Recover Grant program.
“The Committee for Wyndham has three key strategic focuses – Local Wyndham, Leadership Wyndham and Connected Wyndham,” she said.
“We understand that Wyndham needs strong social infrastructure and with our networks and connections with business and the community we can assist Wyndham to be a strong and better community for our residents.”
Wyndham resident and 2019 Learning Professional of the Year, Martin Probst from PROfound Leadership, will facilitate the weekly R&R sessions, which will commence at 9am on Thursday, August 12.
Mr Probst said the sessions would be flexible and discussion-based, and cover topics including personal effectiveness and time management, community collaboration and building a strong network, communication skills, mental and emotional wellbeing and motivation and empowerment.
He said the sessions could be done one after the other or by themselves.
“Hopefully we will have people continuing, but I think all the sessions have great individual offerings,” he said.
Mr Probst said 30 people have already registered for the first session. Registrations: bit.ly/3rrRImS
