Anecdotes and stories from the Emerging Leaders in Inspired
Leadership

2. Emerging Leader
I didn’t realise how much my choices and behaviour
impacts others. I learned how to deal with my
emotions and how to listen first and then react, not
just jump in and go for it.
I think everyone needs to go through this course
that wants to move within the company and become
a manager.

3. Emerging Leader
“The course really points to things that I would never have
thought is part of being a leader and why it is so important. I
have also felt that it shows both sides of the coin, how we
see leaders and how to be a leader, even though you are not
in a management type role now. This journey has opened my
eyes about what I need to change to be able to grow in the
workplace and in my personal life. It is not an easy journey
but one that should definitely be taken, and I think the more
people are made aware of some of these fundamental
subjects we are discussing in the journey, the more our
culture will grow.” – Jacques

“This course has been life changing

has provided me with the tools I need
to be a leader and has made me
believe in myself more.” Shoneez

5. Emerging Leader
“The EQ module was very good, it allowed
me to grow as a leader and help me realize
things I was doing that I didn't know
needed improvement. I am learning a lot
from this course and am so happy with my
progress so far.” - Cesare

6. Emerging Leader
“My experience on this learning journey has
been invaluable. My EQ has grown leaps and
bounds not only in dealing with the work
environment but also skills I have used in my
private life. The size of the cohort is ideal
because it is not too big, which allows for better
engagement from every participant, no one feels
left out.” – Ike

7. Emerging Leader
“The beauty of the Emerging Leader Journey is that it not
only helps you within the workplace but helps you grow
personally & your family will see the change. My honest
opinion is that everyone should be a leader regardless of
their position in a company, a leader is a mindset change
that inspires people around you whether it be in your
household, community, workplace or even yourself. This
course definitely inspires people to be leaders which only
has benefits with little to no drawbacks.” – Wade
