That’s why we created
Leadership Collective
This isn’t your standard leadership course
We think fixing the big challenges in the North West means going beyond the traditional, siloed model of leadership development.
That’s why we want to grow a network of leadership across sectors: community, public and private.
A programme for learning, networking and doing
Study visit to Dublin
Mid-way through the programme, we’ll spend a few days in Dublin, engaging with policymakers and community leaders.
This is a golden opportunity to network with key stakeholders and leaders delivering change at a big scale.
A lasting network
We want to build a network for community leadership that lasts.
By connecting cross-sectoral leaders throughout the North West, we believe we can foster a more resilient and successful region in the future.
In-person learning
The course is built around monthly in-person sessions at Holywell.
Guided by expert guest speakers, we’ll set the context for our work with in-depth explorations of the socio-political challenges people face in our region.
Actionable outcomes
The programme will emphasise finding solutions to real challenges in the community.
The cohort of leaders will be expected to collaborate on ideas and projects that aim to bring about real change.
