 Following internal and external consultation, Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative request a leadership program be developed including concepts informed by: 

• Cultural grounding and identity 

• Organisational feedback and staff priorities 

• Key internal stakeholder input and strategic priorities 

Key themes include: 

• Confidence building, self-trust, and communication 

• Strategic thinking, cultural competence and emotional intelligence 

• Understanding governance and compliance within Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative 

• Team building, trauma-informed & reflective practice and cross-sector collaboration 

• Leading self and others within a First Nations context 

The desired program will also embed storytelling, yarning circles, and a commitment to First Nations’ ways of being, knowing and doing.
