Our unique leadership development programme is for senior nurses, midwives and AHPs with an interest in or responsibility for the sustainability agenda.
The three-day residential programme, in a remarkable setting in Cornwall, offers an immersive learning experience to develop leadership identity, capacity, and capability and to take sustainable change back to your organisation. Delegates will connect with nature and leave with the tools to influence and transform the sustainability agenda in their work setting, as well as a renewed sense of clarity, balance and motivation.
You can expect:
Participants in our leadership programmes report the “life changing” leadership experience and its professional and personal impact. They feedback about feeling better able to influence improvements in patient care and health outcomes.
Regenerate yourself and your leadership!
Participants will also join the FNF alumni community and receive ongoing networking and leadership development opportunities through events, webinars, media engagement and policy thought leadership.
* Please note that this is a very active programme. Whilst some elements are classroom based it also involves some walking through the forest and up and down hills, often on rough terrain. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
“The future health of our people and our planet is something anyone in healthcare has to work to tackle. The problems are huge and we all need to take action and lead on sustainability change and improvement and actively drive change. In the current role I hold, I spend the bulk of my work sat at my desk indoors. Having the opportunity to learn, develop and grow as a leader whilst appreciating nature, the beautiful surroundings, and the elements, made this course even more impactful. The course was meticulously planned and encompassed so much in the time.” Read more here. Lucie Planner CYP Lead, NHS England
The Leadership programme is fully-catered and residental over three days:
11am Arrival and Welcome to Cabilla
Framing of the programme with a walk around the only temperate rainforest in the UK, allowing time to regenerate and reconnect.
Afternoon:
Understanding Self: Session on self-awareness, Emotional intelligence (EQ) and a Myer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment to explore how personality preference influences personal leadership styles and how awareness can enable the promotion of high performing teams.
Evening:
Tour of the Beaver hide.
Led by the Eden Project facilitators
With a focus on personal impact and influence, this will enable you to reconnect with self to have influence and lead sustainability change in your organisation. Together, we’ll explore how principles found in nature can help us shape our business ecosystems.
Taking inspiration from Eden founder Tim Smit, and other experts in the field of leadership, this programme takes you on an immersive learning journey through which you will gain clarity over purpose, explore uncertainty and complexity, and understand your personal agency in a rapidly changing world.
Together with change agents from a diverse range of sectors, you’ll be given permission to bring the most authentic version of yourself to whatever your current project is, to inspire others, and to effect real change within your spheres of influence. You will not find the usual tools and trappings of leadership courses on The Nature of Leadership. Instead, you’ll find a container of ideas and practices rooted in experiential learning.
The day includes a nature walk and considering how to put learning into practice.
Evening:
Dinner in a tropical rainforest at the Eden project.
This session will take a practical approach to support participants to develop themselves to have influence and lead change: to upskill the ‘change-makers’. Facilitators will lead the group to regenerate individual’s self-belief; passion; ability to lead effectively and commitment to purpose.
The day will end with a closing session to identify concrete actions to lead regenerative change.
Finish around 4pm.
The three-day fully catered residential programme will cost £3,600 per delegate.
Places can be funded by the employer using CPD funding or self-funded by the individual. If your application is successful then payment will be required before starting the programme.
Please note that you will need to fund your own transport costs to the venue. Once there, all food (vegetarian) and accommodation is included.
