Participant Chronicle
Angela Parente – Workplace Leadership Essentials
Throughout the program I learnt to set short term goals to progressively work towards larger milestones, one step at a time.
I embarked onto LMA’s Workplace Leadership Essentials program to become a better leader for my Team. Motivated by a strong desire to develop an understanding of what Leadership means to me, and how I can utilise best practice content to apply it back into my life, both personally and professionally.
Throughout the program I learnt to set short term goals to progressively work towards larger milestones, one step at a time. I also learnt and now understand that people have different personality styles and receive communication differently. Effective leaders understand this and style flex their communication strategies accordingly. Some of the key learning concepts that supported my development include understanding Imperative vs Important, Active Listening and effective Planning/Goal Setting techniques.
The most enjoyable part of the learning journey was learning that Leadership and Management are very different skills. Combining a great facilitator with a wonderful group of fellow participants always created a fun and interactive learning environment.
I would recommend this program to others; I believe it is a great introduction for anyone who leads a team or is wanting to progress into a Leadership position.
