Centre for Sustainability Leadership Fellowship Program 2011 Program Overview
Grow your social and cultural footprint in 2011. Once a year the Centre for Sustainability Leadership runs Fellowship Programs in Melbourne and Sydney for up to 26 ambitious, sustainability change makers in each city. This is a unique training opportunity where selected individuals develop the skills, networks and knowledge needed to be more effective in forging a sustainable future. The 7-month evening and retreat-based program is packed full of practical, immersive and challenging thinking and activities designed to grow each Fellow’s capacity to influence positive change in their areas of passion.
CORE COMPETENCIES • Philosophy of leadership: gain an improved understanding of key moral and philosophical aspects related to leadership • Sustainability leadership: understand the success and diversity of the world’s most effective sustainability leaders and develop a vision and plan for yourself as a sustainability leader • Dynamics of change: understand different theories of change, their application and relevance in sustainability • Thinking strategically: develop strategic thinking capacity
Due to the Fellowship Program I’m now aiming higher than ever before. Melissa Crotty
• Making things happen: develop, implement, evaluate and learn from practical sustainability initiatives • Communications and advocacy: make a positive impact with presentations and utilise the media to convey effective sustainability messages
THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM EXPERIENCE
• Emotional intelligence: understand yourself and others and optimise interpersonal relationships
Throughout the seven-month program from May to November 2011, our fellows participate in weekly evening workshops, weekend retreats, develop sustainability projects and networking opportunities.
• Teamwork and relationship building: build interpersonal skills to improve relationships and maximise collaborative team outcomes
They also receive individually tailored support through our coaching and mentoring programs and enjoy ongoing peer-to-peer learning and community building through our online platform and forums.
• Creative thinking: build capacity to tackle challenges and find creative solutions
The Fellowship Program curriculum is underpinned by key competencies that we have identified as fundamental skills for successfully addressing the challenges faced by those leaders who are striving to create a sustainable future.
• Personal development and self-inquiry: indentify the personal strengths and weaknesses that underpin your unique leadership style; create and execute strategies to build your leadership capacity • Personal effectiveness: effectively manage time, prioritise competing demands and maximise wellbeing
The support, encouragement and inspiration I’ve gained through the Fellowship Program have put me on the path to creating the mainstream behavioural change I’ve long hoped for.
