Mentoring Aspiring Leaders (4 session course)
I am offering a 4 session mentoring course for co-ordinators who want to develop their leadership skills. Each session will include input from myself, opportunities for discussion and professional dialogue and interactive tasks related to the role of the co-ordinator.
To make most effective use of the programme, I suggest a group consists of 15+ places in order for all those attending to learn and share from one another. The session times will be 15:00-17:00.
The cost is £100 per person for the 4 sessions. The school hosting the programme receives 1 free place in return. If you would like to join this event please contact joan@joanhendersonem.co.uk or telephone 07557 192815.
