Future Leaders
Future Leaders is all about how you ‘show-up’ as a leader – developing your personal style. Each Future Leaders module covers a different aspect of leadership theory and practice around three themes: Communication, Influencing, and Relationships.
The cohort also collaborate on a project with a not-for-profit organisation to test their leadership skills in a real-world scenario. And each participant benefits from a one-to-one coaching session tailored to their individual leadership needs.

Why we're different:
WIG's approach to leadership development
At the heart of all our programmes, WIG’s leadership development framework sets out our values and approach to leadership and learning. Our aim is to encourage and enable the mindsets, actions and behaviours that leaders need in order to successfully navigate the complexities of 21st century leadership.
For nearly 40 years, we’ve been working collaboratively with public, private and not-for-profit organisations, helping leaders to gain cross-sector insight that enriches their personal and organisational performance. That’s what makes WIG’s leadership development programmes different – a unique focus on cross-sector peer learning brings true diversity of ideas, encourages curiosity, openness and innovation and helps individuals and organisations to find inspiration and fresh ideas from others.
Our programmes complement an organisation’s in-house delivery, bringing fresh perspective from different sectors and expanding high-value professional networks.
