We’re launching a leadership programme for new and aspiring leaders who work in independent advocacy. Advocacy Trailblazers is about making sure independent advocacy services are prepared for the future. We want to ensure tomorrow’s leaders have the right skills and knowledge to drive forward change.
The programme is suitable for people already working in independent advocacy services. You will be in your first leadership role or have the potential to do so. Advocacy Trailblazers will also prepare you to take on a senior leadership role in the next three to five years.
Advocacy Trailblazers explores:
- A detailed focus on leadership, personal style and achieving change.
- The leadership styles needed to deliver rights, choice and control within the current economic climate.
- Leading edge practice sessions on key policy priorities
We aim for each programme to be delivered to between 20 and 30 participants.
Delivery weaves together presentations, a wide variety of expert guest speakers, group work, individual reflection, and action planning. This includes:
- An online introductory day
- Two, two-day residential events
- Online action learning sets
- Three online themed sessions
