“Completing QELi’s Leadership for Middle Leaders Online Program provided me with the confidence and know-how to become an emotionally intelligent leader.  Research based practical techniques about leading, communicating and interacting with others in positive and influential ways were the basis of each of the course modules. Learning to lead with trust, integrity and engagement are valuable elements of the program that have given me the skills to implement whole school change while learning how to nurture and challenge team members. The one-on-one coaching component of the program allowed me to reflect on my own strengths and weaknesses as a leader and discuss personal goals to ensure future success as a leader” 2022 Cohort 1 Program Participant

“This course is designed to help teachers take their leadership skills further. The Leadership for Middle Leaders Online Program helped me to build and develop my skills of effective communication, empathy, and the ability to effectively manage and guide a team to success. The course uses the latest research from people such as Steven Covey, Brené Brown and Patrick Lencioni and helps you to understand the foundations of effective leadership and how to use them within your school or leadership team. I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to further grow and develop their leadership skills. It certainly helped me” Acting Assistant Principal: Curriculum, Evelyn, 2022 Cohort 1 Program Participant
