Tourism Noosa has delivered its second workshop this week for members that have registered to complete the Noosa Resilient Leadership Program.
The initiative aims to bring contemporary, evidence-based, leading edge leadership training to Noosa businesses to aid in building business resilience and preparedness against future disasters.
“We have seen a very diverse mix of local Noosa businesses sign up to the Noosa Resilient Leadership Program which gives us great confidence for the future of Noosa and its local businesses,“ a Tourism Noosa spokesperson said.
The program was made available to all businesses across the Noosa Shire with Tourism Noosa receiving an influx of registrations from businesses eager to learn new skills, build resilience and plan for uncertain futures.
All businesses taking part have received mentoring and completed a Hogan EQ assessment to assess emotional intelligence that will assist in controlling personal responses in times of crisis and leading a successful and motivated team.
Kate Arscott form the Noosa River Retreat said, “The Resilient Leadership Program has been a fantastic opportunity to challenge how we think and act in a time of crisis.
“We have gained insight into everything from contingency planning to team culture and the importance of building sustainable strategies.
“Lots of great ideas were generated from both the operators as well as through discussions with like-minded businesses. It was nice to know that we are not alone in this and I look forward to implementing these new strategies into my business.”
The Noosa Resilient Leadership Program provides businesses with workshops and mentoring to build personal leadership, strengthening the overall culture of the workplace and to ensure that Noosa’s local businesses have the tools and knowledge to survive and thrive in face of adversity. Tourism Noosa engaged the Institute for Tourism Leadership Australia (ITLA) to deliver the program.
The program has been made possible through a successful grant application under the Commonwealth/State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, through the Community Development program.
