It goes beyond leadership training, and gives you knowledge that can be used in any scenario in life. Mel has an amazing way of explaining things, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her." - <br /> <strong>Liz Kozmevski, Head of Marketing, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre </strong></p> </blockquote> <h3> </h3> <h4>How employers will benefit from having a MTLP leader in the team</h4> <p>Professional development is integral for the upskilling and retention of your best staff, so it’s important that employers can see the tangible and intangible benefits of a leadership course like the MTLP. Based on feedback from Graduates, here are the top ways MTLP can be of benefit to your business:</p> <p><strong>Identification and understanding of personal values</strong></p> <p>Values are the guiding principles by which we live our lives, affecting our decision-making ability. Everyone has a set of values, but have you ever identified what those are? From the first workshop, participants recognise their values, how they are led by their values and how their values impact their leadership capabilities. This gives participants a valuable navigation system allowing them to live by the values that serve them best. Being aware of one’s values can help:</p> <ul> <li>Enhance self-awareness and effectively navigate personal priorities</li> <li>Gain a deeper understanding of interpersonal relationships and manage conflict more effectively</li> <li>Add clarity in decision-making</li> <li>Set goals for both professional and personal environments.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Fostering positive leadership</strong></p> <p>Participants learn to cultivate positive leadership through communication, relationships and by creating a positive environment. This improves performance including increased productivity, higher employee morale and healthier workplace culture. Positive leadership also eliminates barriers; resolves problems and builds strong workplace relationships.</p> <p><strong>Part of a strong, collaborative network</strong></p> <p>Throughout MTLP, a lot of time is spent with fellow participants from across the tourism, hospitality and local government industries. Knowledge, thoughts and ideas are communicated and discussed giving each participant shared experiences with their classmates.</p> <p>With the program limited to 25 participants each year – drawn from across Greater Melbourne and regional Victoria – MTLP’s graduate network now has over 300 leaders. After graduating, the alumni will continue to be provided with networking opportunities with their classmates and previous years’ participants. </p> <p><strong>Confidence to better lead others</strong></p> <p>Participants stated a better understanding of other people and their emotions as a key outcome of the program. The tools explored throughout MTLP equip participants with the confidence to understand and lead those around them and increase their compassion. Participants are strongly encouraged to share their MTLP learnings with colleagues so the benefits have a wide reach in any team.</p> <p><strong>Increased effectiveness</strong></p> <p>According to past participants and their employers, MTLP results in an increased focus and ability to drive and take on larger and more complex projects. A better understanding of Melbourne’s visitor industry ensures a greater focus on the visitor experience with more emotionally aware leaders being able to manage a variety of situations and make better decisions for themselves and their business.</p> <p><strong>Greater sense of purpose</strong></p> <p>Having identified and understood values, increased effectiveness, gained a strong network and the confidence to better lead others, participants find a greater sense of purpose. The final workshop covers goal setting, and with all the knowledge gained in mind, participants can go forward assured of their abilities, ready to lead and influence the industry.</p> <blockquote> <p>"This program has exceeded all my expectations and has had a profound impact on both my personal and professional life. I have gained a deeper understanding of myself, my emotions and how they influence my leadership style. I have learned invaluable skills and techniques to manage my emotions effectively, communicate more empathetically, and build stronger relationships with my team members. The program provided a safe and supportive environment where I could explore my strengths and areas for growth. Mel was not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely passionate about helping MTLPers unlock their full potential."<br /> <strong>Sheena Dang, Communications Manager, Puffing Billy Railway</strong><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span calibri="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:#000001"><u5:p></u5:p><u5:p></u5:p></span></span></span></b></p> </blockquote> <p> </p> <h4>Application Process</h4> <p>Applications for the 2025 program are now CLOSED.</p> <p>To apply:</p> <ol> <li>Complete the application form prior to Friday 15 November 2024.
