Following the success of cohort 1 we are proud to announce that our BAME leadership programme, Maximising your leadership potential, is back. Beginning in November this year, the programme provides a ‘safe space’ to talk freely, to develop and share learning. The aims of the programme are to:
- build leadership resilience and confidence through the successful challenging of potential and perceived barriers
- help people improve accountability and engagement among teams
- introduce a coaching style of leadership in line with a wide range of leadership principles and to appreciate a more flexible approach in the new world of virtual leadership
- help people understand their own impact and adjust their style for improved inclusivity and enhanced organisational culture
- give an opportunity to understand self-worth and how best to bring your best self forward in both the workplace and interviews
- empower you to become a role model to help inspire the development and progression of others.
The feedback we received from cohort 1 has been excellent, and we can’t thank them enough for their time and efforts. They have told us about how they have become more confident, the progress they have made in their roles since and how they have put their learning into practice.
There are only limited spaces on the programme and expressions of interest must be submitted by Friday 01 September 2023. You can find more information at BME (Black, Minority Ethnic) Staff Forum (torbayandsouthdevon.nhs.uk) or by emailing tsdft.diversityandinclusion@nhs.net
