Executive Leadership Development at Tamworth Regional Council

GPS COLLOQUIUM OUTCOMES AT TAMWORTH REGIONAL COUNCIL

Tamworth Regional Council is located in the New England area of New South Wales, approximately 400 kilometres north of Sydney. It has over 500 employees and a yearly revenue in excess of $175m. 

Members of the Tamworth Regional Council executive team engaged in Applied Management Colloquium with other senior leaders and business owners from Tamworth’s Chamber of Commerce.

The success of the program was evident across the cohort through self-awareness, personal responsibility, the development of vulnerability based trust and a commitment to deeper interpersonal relationships.

Tamworth Regional Council utilised the Colloquium for the development of its executive leadership team. The Colloquium provided the ability to reflect inwardly, create space and then evaluate before moving forward… it has been transformational.

I have to say that the feedback that I've got since I've done the colloquium has been that I just seem much happier, much calmer, much more focused on what it is to be the leader rather than just being busy all the time

The colloquium provided a much greater awareness to how I impact others and how other people's cues are appreciated by me… the program took me to another level

Peter Thompson

It gave me a practical set of tools that I could take back to the workplace

Chris Weber

Director, Corporate & Governance

The impact of the colloquium was exactly what I was hoping, which are those moments when I can say that there are better ways of doing things without really struggling. There are soft and gentle ways to manoeuvre things
