After attending the Executive Development and Growth for Excellence (EDGE) module, I reviewed how I could involve my team in understanding the process flow within the company and then craft new goals. The team was in awe of the entire process and marvelled at how the exercise was meaningful to them. Most importantly, everyone was motivated to learn while having FUN. Bonds were strengthened within and across departments and totally surpassed my expectations.”

“In my 7 years with this organization, I saw how the shipyard business has evolved in terms of our ways of working and communicating internally and with our customers. Gone were the days of top-down communications. In today’s context, possessing effective 2-way communication skills is a must. I manage a very diverse group of people in terms of age and experience. So, having an open and clear communication approach is essential in building a successful and productive team. This course (Professional Diploma in Leadership and People Management (LPM)) has definitely prepared me to take on a larger role. I have learned how to listen more and to make better business decisions by taking a holistic view from the company’s perspective and at the same time putting myself in the shoes of the people involved.”

The learning experience was great and engaging, and love how the assessments are interactive and not all words and writing "essays". The use of role-plays to practice learning on how to engage based on situation types was definitely a plus. The leadership training definitely help to apply greater understanding of the thinking styles when working with staff, as well as applying the different steps in different situations.
