Program Overview
The Activate Leadership Program is an 8-week program designed for emerging, new, and experienced leaders who are new to formal leadership development. Throughout the program, we explore leadership from personal, business, and community perspectives, with a unique focus on Geelong.
During the program, you'll discover your leadership aspiration, style, and strengths. You'll learn about leading teams, driving change, and making a difference in your community. You'll have the opportunity to learn directly from local leaders representing the public, private and nonprofit sectors, including the chance to have an in-depth conversation with one of these leaders towards the end of the program.
Through a blend of in-person events, online webinars, and a small group project, the program offers opportunities to learn, explore, reflect, and apply new ideas in real time. We also aim to foster lasting relationships and community connections that extend beyond the program itself.
