I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course Self-Managed Leadership as part of the Managing and Leading in Municipal Environment with Mark Norman. Although I had previous knowledge of some of these management concepts, Mark presented the content in a way that was not only engaging but brought forth new streams of thought. I am sure I will use the learnings from these modules to help me better manage my team and help to create the positive culture we all strive towards as a corporation. Mark provided great insight into the topics discussed with real world examples while also ensuring we had open discussions. It was great to be able to take this course with colleagues across different municipalities and sectors. I appreciate what I will be able to take away from this opportunity.

I came away not just intellectually appreciating but deeply feeling and understanding that my personal growth and development is my leadership development. This has given me fresh thinking re: my goals as part of the LEADS framework used in my organization’s leadership and performance development.

I have participated in a variety of leadership training opportunities over the last 6 years and Marks’ Self-Managed Leadership program has been the most impactful on my leadership development journey. Mark’s delivery of the concepts, along with tools and techniques to implement into our daily work was refreshing, and helpful. I appreciated focus in understanding and managing ourselves to better lead our teams

Definitely good content, Mark knows this subject well and is a good instructor
