Awareness Themes
There was evidence of shifts in thinking, self belief, insights and self confidence:
- I do have a lot of potential. I am not as inefficient and poor as I thought

Learning/ Change Impact Themes:
Mindset shifts
- The value of a multi perspective approach midst uncertainty was highlighted

- I have learnt to not only view a challenge from my own perspective but to allow others to voice their own perceptions.
Leadership
- Ways of leading and managing conflict and change situations were highlighted.
- The value of communication, support, trust and consultation was emphasised.
- Each individual has a unique or different leadership style
- Leadership is not about power or authority. It needs skill and careful planning
- My key learning was managing and resolving conflict
Change Action/ Vision Themes: “What will I do differently”?
- I will stand firm and strong before my educators because this course is relevant
- I will introduce every intension of change before it is implemented for the staff to air their views. I will give them enough information necessary for change.
