Leadership for well-being: Thriving rather than simply surviving
CPD online course
Living through ongoing volatility, uncertainty and pressure, how can leaders practice in ways that maintain their own health and support the well-being of the people they work alongside?
Join our 2-part online CPD course designed to offer fresh thinking and practical tools which will challenge your assumptions about leadership. It aims to develop and improve healthier everyday practices to support your own well-being and the well-being of your colleagues.
Grounded in Newcastle University’s executive education research, these sessions will help you to refresh your own leadership mindset, develop new insights and ways of practising. Whether you’re managing transitions, exploring new directions, or simply wanting to future-proof your professional identity, this series will support you to think differently and flourish in the future.
It provides a natural stepping stone toward the Postgraduate Certificate in Strategic Leadership, offering participants a chance to explore their leadership mindset and practice foundational to support those already in senior positions and those aspiring to leadership roles.
These sessions will take place in spring 2027.
Registration will open in early 2027.
