I’ve just enjoyed two days of lively discussions engaging with other public sector managers completing the People Matters training program. It was interesting to be the only Queensland Corrective Services representative yet so many staffing challenges cut across organisational lines. I really appreciated hearing different perspectives to management and also gaining a deeper self-awareness of communication preferences as we analysed out DiSC profiles.
