Popcorn Leadership Development Programmes

Get Ready to Lead is for anybody who wants to learn more about and advance their capability in leadership. So, if you’re new to a leadership role, Get Ready to Lead is for you. If you’re already in a leadership role and want to develop your skills, it’s for you too. And if you’re not yet in a leadership role, and want to prepare yourself for the future, you’ll also find it beneficial.

Over a 12 week period you’ll examine what it means to be an effective leader in today’s world from three perspectives. First, as an individual; second as a member of a team; and finally from the collective experience of leaders worldwide. Doing this means that by the end of the course you’ll be equipped to launch yourself into a leadership career successfully.

How will this be achieved?

How we facilitate our learning journey is one of the key ways in which a Popcorn programme goes above and beyond the norm. We truly believe that the learning journey is a collaborative one between the learner (you), the training provider (us), and the organisation (your employer). As part of a small, dedicated group learning together in a supportive online community, you’ll benefit from a rich and absorbing experience.
