          • Communication
          • Conflict management
          • Advocacy and networking
          • Mentoring
          • Building teams
          • Financial sustainability

        The Emerging Leaders program gave me great insight into my strengths as a leader but also practical tips for improving areas of weakness. I highly recommend this course for early career researchers. As an early career researcher, this course gave me fantastic practical strategies for ensuring that my developing team is sustainable, productive and work together harmoniously. 360 degree feedback is one of the most valuable professional lessons you will ever have.
