Our new workshop Guarding Governance™ launches today!

TJC

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new workshop Guarding Governance™. The 4-hour-training is a professional development workshop designed to assist Executives and Directors in developing their capacity building skills to support effective governance practices, with a particular focus on Indigenous governance systems.

We will explain the principles of good governance and diverse communication styles. Attendees will acquire skills to incorporate a cultural perspective into their management approach. Guarding Governance™ focuses on improving attendees' abilities to make strong decisions and be better leaders.

Guarding Governance™ is designed for Executives, Board and Committee Members. The training is also designed for professionals from non-Indigenous organisations who are interested in learning about incorporating culturally considerate and diverse governance practices.

The workshop will be held on 2nd May 2023, over Zoom. Tickets are limited to a 15 person capacity to ensure that our participants get the highest value from the seminar.
