This Melbourne MicroCert is ideal for professionals and leaders from any sector who are seeking evidence-backed strategies to improve their self-management, and enhance their leadership capabilities.
Analyse your current management practices
Evaluate your own self-management and leadership practices, beliefs and behaviours, and explore what you could improve. Examine the positive and adverse impacts of personal leadership on overall organisational performance.
Improve your capacity to manage time and resources
Gain a strong evidence base to help you manage time and stress, delegate to and coach others, build adaptability and resilience, and achieve greater alignment between your behaviour, goals and values. Explore strategies to better use your own resources (including personal resources such as psychological wellbeing, resilience and cognitive load) rather than reacting to others.

Develop understanding and routines that can help you respond more effectively to challenging situations.
Apply strategies to sustain effective leadership
