Executive CoachingWhat are past participants saying about this programme?
“The Senior Executive Leadership programme was excellent. The resources available to me as a learner were extraordinary and I am sure I will be referring back to them time and again. The insight, patience and generosity of the facilitators from the Institute made it easy for me to tailor the learning for my organisation and I am genuinely excited to put my learning into practice. I could not recommend it highly enough and am so thankful of the opportunity. I hope this is not my last engagement as a learner!” Cara Cash-Marley - Chief Executive, Groundwork NI
“I attended the Senior Executive programme and I encountered a course that gave a balanced blend of collaborative discussion, time for reflection and instructor lead content. The course was extremely well set out, challenging thoughts, culture and ideas, guided by instructors who not only have a fantastic knowledge base but have life experience to support the learning and principles, as well as some humour. The course has left me with a renewed confidence and verification on leadership techniques along with an arsenal of new tools and concepts to further enhance my understanding and carry into my working and personal life. I would highly recommend this course to current leaders and those aspiring to leadership roles.” Garth Pelan - Head of IT, Radius Housing
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Senior Executive Programme and it was fantastic to hear from those working across such a diverse range of sectors. The programme has given me tremendous clarity in respect of the trends and challenges facing all organisations , enlightened me as to the importance of digital transformation and most importantly allowed me to reflect on my own personal leadership skills and ability to shape the future of our firm” Christopher McCandless - Chief Operating Officer, Millar McCall Wylie
"The Senior Executive Programme provided an amazing opportunity to enhance my business knowledge, develop my leadership skills and grow my business network. Working in a dynamic and fast changing environment, this course gave me the time and permission to reflect on my contribution to the business and to embed practical changes which will deliver results. Louise and the team provided a structured learning environment which encouraged the group to think about how we do business today and analyze our readiness for the future of work. The course had an excellent mix of theory and practical learning from experienced industry experts. Delivery of the course through zoom gave me the ability to fit study time around work and home commitments in a way that I would otherwise not have been able to achieve." Helen Sayers - Organisational Development Manager, Cooneen Group
