Chris Dunning
Chairman
From early on in my career journey I was encountering very practical applications of leadership working with individuals, groups, teams of all ages, in organisations and communities mostly in real-time situations where reviewing and learning was immediately applicable. Such experiential learning and development training is essentially about interpersonal relationships in a variety of settings and environments and in more recent years I have been exploring how personal insight into this process, its principles and underpinning values, can improve a person’s ability to perform more effectively in a leadership role.
Collaborative and Facilitative leaders are of particular relevance in our World today and being able to relate to the wide spectrum of individuals traits and value their potential is of profound importance, leader or not, as is the resulting synergy.
