The Lead the Way workshop is suitable for primary (years 5 to 6) and secondary (year 7 to 12) students and we adapt the content to suit the age of the student audience.

The seminar examines what leadership is and practical skills to become better leaders. We explore communication skills, trust, role-models, teamwork, empathy and how to make a positive difference.
