I am super proud of the result we accomplished for the Purposeful Leaders Program for the Coroners Court of Victoria. It was a pleasure to work with this group of leaders who support people through the hardest times in their lives, losing a loved one.
The Purposeful Leaders Program used evidence-based research combined with practical models and applications to embed learning.
There was an impressive uplift in capability seen across all leadership capabilities, these included:
Leadership
32% Feeling confident in leadership ability
27% Feeling adequately trained and suitably skilled to be the leader my business demands
25% Being aware of my leadership style and how I work with others in the team
Feedback
26% I readily give actionable feedback
21% Actively addressing underperformance in my team
Coaching
23% I ask questions rather than tell (direct)
19% I effectively coach my team to grow their capabilities and take on new tasks
Accountability
24% I am clear with team members in what I expect from them in their role
20% I hold my team members accountable
Communication
22% I communicate clearly with my team
High-performing teams
18% The team I lead is currently high performing
Program Approach
Delivered a 12-month leadership program with leaders working in one cohort to build collegiality and collaboration.
Topics covered; Purposeful Leadership, High Performing Teams, Feedback, Coaching, Accountability, Communication, Decision Making, Resilient Leadership and Managing Change.
Full-day, half-day and 2-hour sessions with a mixture of face-to-face and virtual sessions.
Activities in between sessions to embed learning, create a sense of community and keep the momentum going.
Facet5, a personality profiling tool, was used to build self-awareness.
What our participants had to say
“I commenced the program thinking I knew a lot and left feeling as though I know the lot. Looking forward to putting my learnings into practice. Thank you Claire.”
“The role I am in at CCOV is my first managerial role of my career. I was excited for the opportunity but definitely felt a bit out of my depth at times. I now feel far more confident in my ability to lead quite large teams in a work environment and will continue to utilise the skills I have learned in the Purposeful Leadership Program throughout my career.”
“This people-centred and value-driven program equipped me with the practical tools and resources that I needed to become a more resilient, confident and judicious leader and manager. Ultimately, my participation in this program wasn't for me...it was for the team I lead.”
I’d love to hear from you if you’d like to develop the leadership capability in your organisation.
