Sydney Facilitator Network - First meeting of 2009
You are warmly invited to our first meeting of 2009 on Monday 9th FEBRUARY 2008
"What can we Learn about Leadership from Indigenous Kids?" with Greg Jenkins
The Australian Football league (AFL) recently launched an indigenous academy for Aboriginal kids in Western Sydney. Greg Jenkins had the privilege of working on the leadership component of the program in 2008. In this session, Greg will facilitate an experience of the frameworks, facilitation tools and games that he found to be highly effective in the program. Greg's insights have the potential to transform the way we plan and implement leadership development in organisations, schools and communities.
