Grateful for the opportunity to have attended the ATEM (Academic Tertiary Education Management) Leadership Training at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, last week.
ATEM has been developing leaders in tertiary education for more than 30 years, providing leadership and management training for professionals working in universities and tertiary institutions, with support from member universities across Australia.
I was honoured to represent the University of Goroka (UOG), alongside participants from Divine Word University and Channel College. I’m thankful to the Dean of Science and Technology at UOG for recommending me for this opportunity.
The training challenged me to think differently about leadership, management, teamwork, decision making and the responsibility of leading others. It was also a great opportunity to meet, connect and learn alongside leaders and professionals from different institutions.
I return with new perspectives, valuable connections and renewed motivation to lead with purpose, serve others and create positive change.
Leadership is a journey of continuous learning and growth.
