Tourism Noosa has announced the Noosa Resilient Leadership Program, a new initiative bringing contemporary, evidence based, leading edge leadership training to Noosa businesses.
The aim is to assist Noosa businesses build more resilience and preparedness against future disasters and have the capacity to cope with challenges and build a long-term strategy to achieve this.
From bushfires to the Covid-19 pandemic, Noosa businesses have been forced to overcome unprecedented challenges since as early as 2019.
With the future uncertain, now is the crucial time for business leaders to control their emotional response to ongoing disruptions and to build long-term business sustainability.
The Noosa Resilient Leadership Program will provide twenty participants with Resilient Leadership Workshops and mentoring to build personal leadership that will flow through to workplace culture and a Business Resilience Implementation Plan to assist in disaster planning.
Tourism Noosa has engaged consultants from The Institute for Tourism Leadership Australia (ITLA) to deliver the program, who have implemented similar programs across the country.
This timing of the program is when our tourism businesses need it the most and will comprise of full-day workshops as well as personalised one-on-one coaching and a final networking event to build social networks.
The main goal of this program is to provide business leaders amongst the tourism and business sectors with the necessary skills to cope with the unexpected and be capable of coming out the other side with their business surviving.
Tourism Noosa’s CEO Melanie Anderson said, “This is a key initiative for our industry to undergo professional development from all sectors across the Noosa region, to build sustainable strategies and revitalise Noosa for an economic recovery by working collectively as a region.”
We encourage any business across the Noosa region to complete an expression of interest if you are interested in building your leadership capability and supporting the resilience of Noosa as a region. The program begins in September 2021 and runs through until November 2021.
The program has been made possible through a successful grant application under the Commonwealth/State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, through the Community Development program.
