WHAT OUR ALUMNAE
ARE SAYING

I have learnt that backing myself and trusting my voice is essential, and that respectful debate—supported by frameworks such as PREP—enables me to structure my perspective and ensure I am heard.

One of the most impactful leadership experiences I have had.

I really believe that the Elevate programme has been pivotal for me, I'll anchor to some of these learnings for the rest of my career!

It was a great programme. It was great to expand on tools I already had and pick up new ones. I also enjoyed discussing with others in the cohort how they used some of the tools in different situations. It gave me a different perspective.

The perspectives of how cultural complexity impacts leaders was certainly a new lens for me. The bicultural perspectives challenge me in a healthy way.

The teamwork was phenomenal, and the experience demonstrated how leveraging our tools and the strength of the group creates a powerful learning environment.

It’s made me more confident, and I’ve been able to share my learning with the rest of the team, including management.
