Practical take-aways for Young Professionals is a focus, allowing you to implement learnings in your everyday work. These ‘short courses’ are a perfect means of exploring topics that you may later like to pursue in relevant IPAA courses.
The LEAD (Learn. Empower. Achieve. Develop) Program covers four main learning topics for YP’s in the public service with a 90 minute ‘short course’ on each.

Upcoming Sessions
Session 2: Facilitation Skills
Date: 10 October 2024
Facilitation is a vital skill for anyone exercising leadership and wanting to drive good outcomes. However, not all facilitation is effective and there are certainly good and bad techniques that you can adopt for the best result. You will learn about facilitation methodology, how to prepare for and run facilitation, how to craft a good question and tools to elicit feedback.
Darren is a confident presenter who regularly addresses large audiences and diverse groups. In his career, he has learnt a few lessons along the way about what makes effective facilitation. This session will focus on facilitation as a skill that you can develop. In this context, Darren will talk about his experience in leading facilitation, including leading the lessons learned with the Australian Red Cross for the Afghanistan Repatriation Emergency Operation in 2021 and his facilitation across Western Australia in reviewing the State Support Plan – Emergency Welfare.
The session will be lively and not driven entirely by powerpoint or lecturing – there will be active facilitation in the room, where you can see facilitation in practice.
