It features a series of action learning events, individual coaching and mentoring sessions, virtual webinars and a 2-day leadership retreat, along with 360 assessment and high profile guest speakers. Our programme is led by Cora Robinson, CEO at Create.Express, a global leadership development boutique, based in Holywood NI.
