This aspiring chairs course offers a practical and encouraging introduction to the duties, mindset, and skills required for stepping into a chair position with confidence.

This session will equip you with a framework, reflective questions, and practical tools to help you envision the kind of chair you wish to become and establish a solid foundation for your leadership journey. By the end, you’ll gain clearer direction, greater confidence, and a better understanding of the chair you’d like to be.

We will cover

  • The qualities and behaviours of an effective chair
  • How to assess your strengths, gaps and development needs
  • Defining your leadership approach and chairing style
  • Useful resources to support your ongoing development
