"Being part of the Aspiring NLP programme has accelerated my leaderships skills in ways I had never anticipated prior to starting. I have learnt a variety of practical skills for handling a variety of situations that as a leader in a school you can find yourself in. I am now far better prepared for any leadership roles and have a higher confidence level in dealing with a variety of situations. Aspiring NLP has opened my eyes to my own strengths and weaknesses. Aspiring NLP has made me think critically about my "why". I have met and made many powerful connections throughout my time on Aspiring NLP. Having a Kaiārahi adds a very personal dimension to the course. I highly recommend the Aspiring NLP to all teachers - as we are all leaders in some form."

"I was unsure of what to expect when I applied to be a part of Aspiring NLP. Being new to leadership, I googled 'leadership training in education NZ'. Aspiring NLP looked as though it had everything I wanted. A range of content delivery modes, a comprehensive base of foundational knowledge, and manageable expectations. After emailing and speaking to Marshall about time commitments and programme requirements, I felt really excited to dive in. The content in this programme is well-researched, accessible and interesting! The activities are compelling and realistic, and I love the way they encourage us to form connections and networks with other educational professionals so we can all support each other. I am so grateful to have landed with this programme, and recommend that anyone who is looking to deepen their understanding of themselves as a leader, and the fundamentals of leadership, get involved."

"I love how this course has been designed to make you dig deeper into how YOU tick and get to the essence of what makes you the best YOU, you can be! It is not just a course on how to manage people and school administration, but one that covers inner leadership qualities and what it means to lead from your core values. It gets you to think about who you are as a leader and how you want to lead. It will teach you to embrace courageous conversations and how to have these with confidence, while maintaining the mana of all parties involved. I highly recommend ASPIRING NLP to all future and present school leaders. Dare to Lead!"

"The ASPIRING National Leadership Programme for me has been an opportunity to reflect on my own leadership practices as well as refine what I do. My thinking has been challenged in a supportive and non-judgemental way. I have felt that my Kaiarahi is genuinely interested in my leadership and my career progression."

Paul Knighton

Deputy Principal

"Aspiring NLP has been a very worthwhile professional learning experience. To be provided with expert knowledge and thought provoking discussions has been insightful and challenged mental models I have had about leadership. The group discussions with people you don't know was a valuable experience and gave opportunity for members to network and discuss topical and relevant leadership issues and situations. My Kaiarahi was always interested in my professional journey and remembered lots of little details about all our group members which came through in our group discussions and cleverly weaved them into our chats."

... group discussions a valuable experience ...
