Spiecapag’s Future Leaders group attend the APGA ‘First Time Leaders’ program

Transitioning from being an expert in your field to a leader can be daunting yet pivotal for personal growth, team success, and organisational advancement.  Recognising this, Spiecapag invited its Future Leaders group to embark on a transformative journey by participating in the APGA’s inaugural ‘First Time Leaders’ course.

Led by leadership consultants and coaches, Dr. Gretchen Gagel and Greg O’Meara, this program was designed to equip young professionals with the essential knowledge and skills required to transition from subject matter expert to manager and leader, whether they were already in leadership roles or aspiring to become one.

Tailored for individuals with zero to five years of leadership experience, the course, held across Melbourne and Adelaide, incorporated a mix of in-person, online, and peer-focused sessions, including a lot of practical and engaging exercises.

One of our participants reported gaining a wealth of valuable insights, particularly in the realm of effective time management techniques, how to give and receive effective feedback and building workplace relationships. The access to Gretchen Gagel’s Podcasts (Greatness Podcast (buzzsprout.com) was also a bonus resource much appreciated.
