"The course I attended has given me a deeper insight into leadership, and practical management tools to apply in the workplace. The knowledge I have gained has been imperative in working with people, developing relationships, and building teams at our sports events. My confidence and ability to manage staff and lead work teams has improved considerably. Additionally, our team performance has been nhanced which further helps to achieve both our team’s and organisation’s objectives." Tanya Wakefield, Events Coordinator, ULEISURE "WILSS programmes provide participants with ways to learn a wide range of skills that can be applied to a number of organisational aspects, from staffing issues to refocusing and restructuring. The programme I attended gave me the chance to take a close look at how I do things, and how I could change to be more effective, both within my organisation and on a personal level. It was also fantastic to meet new people who are working and volunteering in the same sector as I am." Richard Battersby, Project Energize, SPORT WAIKATO |
