Designed for ambitious consultants with 7 – 10 years’ experience who are at an inflection point in their career, the program looks beyond technical knowledge. Instead, we dive into the knowledge and mindset that consultants need to successfully transition from capable doer and into leading change in our vibrant, sustainable and equitable cities.

Often, our talented consultants are appointed to leadership roles because they have demonstrated their skills on projects; coming up with creative solutions to urban challenges and thinking through analysis. Taking on formal and informal leadership is the next logical step to having greater impact.

But without the right support and skills, it can end up being a real slog.

Still delivering high quality project work, learning to be an effective leader and navigating the nuances of client relationships – these are all challenges experienced when stepping in to the next phase of your career. Trying to figure it out by yourself can lead to overwhelm and burnout – and puts projects and relationships at risk.

Pathway to Lead is a program to help you successfully navigate this transition.

Delivered by Liz Mackevicius (), the interactive learning kicks off with practical, day to day skills, tailored to those in the built environment sector.

Group and 1:1 coaching provides the scaffolding and support to embed the new knowledge, resulting in real changes, increased confidence and capability, and expanded professional networks.
