Foundations of Intentional Leadership

Yes! At the completion of your course.

Not only that, but you are also awarded 12 months of membership with the Institute which provides you with access to a whole raft of member benefits like networking events, webinars, Development Days, mentoring, discounts and more.

The facilitated sessions run for a full workday. This is usually from 9:00am to roughly 5:00pm AEST, with breaks for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. There may be some virtual sessions that run from 8:00am to 4:00pm AEST to accommodate the time difference for any New Zealand based participants. Exact timing can be found in the Ready to Enrol section of this page.

The more you put in, the more you get out. In our experience, participants get the most out of their course by undertaking between 1 and 3 hours of "homework” each fortnight before their next facilitated session. This includes:

• Reading articles stored on the online Learning Portal.
• Watching videos and webinars stored on the online Learning Portal.
• Practicing what you've learnt back in the workplace.
• Reflecting on your real-life experiences, ready to discuss in your next session.

Managers and leaders exist in every business, in every industry. The content in this course is not industry specific. It applies to all managers and leaders. With over 80 years of experience in supporting managers and leaders, we know that the challenges faced by managers and leaders are consistent no matter what industry you operate in.

Previous participants come from all walks of life and all industries – from healthcare to retail, agriculture to government, construction to IT and professional services. It does not matter what industry you work in; this course will be relevant to you.

Executive Coaching Packages are available and typically come in a series of six sessions. Executive Coaching is available as 1:1 sessions or group sessions.

To accelerate participants’ learning, their line manager is encouraged to be involved. We find that if the line manager is invested and involved, participants and the employer enjoy a higher return on investment.

Before the program begins, managers are asked to reflect on their employees' characteristics and styles by completing the diagnostic surveys that will be used during the course. After each face-to-face session the line manager will receive an email updating them on topics covered, articles and key learnings. We encourage line managers to engage with the participants about their key learnings and development plan.

You will receive a note and calendar invitations for your program at least 2 weeks before your first day. You will also be required to nominate colleagues to complete your diagnostic surveys and complete the surveys yourself. This is a critical step in the journey. You may also receive an article to read before your first session and some videos to watch in our online Learning Portal.

CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development. It involves engaging in activities and learning experiences that enhance your professional skills, knowledge, and competencies over time. This can include formal education, training courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, and self-directed learning.

IML ANZ offers a formal accreditation, known as Chartered Practising Manager. Undertaking yearly CPD is compulsory to retain and maintain CPMgr accreditation. Certified Practising Managers are required to obtain a minimum of 48 credits per 2-year period (which equates to 48 hours of professional development or 2 hours per month).

All of the Institute's Short Courses, leadership courses, webinars, and events carry CPD credit points. CPD points can also be obtained by attending other conferences and courses, L&D activities, and other informal ways of learning. CPD points must be logged within your CPD Portal profile.
