Developing new and aspiring leaders from ethnically diverse backgrounds
This programme has been co-designed with members of various Networks across the system together with Mitzi from Wyman Associates and Enact Solutions. The purpose of the programme is to offer support to ethnically diverse staff to help release your leadership capabilities. It will enable you to channel resilience, ensure your presence has impact and gravitas and support your wellbeing as you progress.
The programme is open to all ethnically diverse staff, including white and non-white European who are in a new line manager/supervisor /team leader role or those preparing to step up into a leadership role in the very near future.
Mitzi tells us more about the programme in this video.
