Stepping Up leadership forum

Accessing leadership potential

A programme that aims to develop the leadership potential and future of disabled Aucklanders and their communities is taking place from July to September.

One hundred people from the disabled community and other Auckland city stakeholders are taking part over the eight-session forum that has been designed and developed by Auckland City Council and independent Leadership Development consultant, Lesley Slade.

Input was also sought from AUT University, as well as disability organisations, IHC and Yes Ability.

The forum has three stages:

  • the first stage will have 100 people starting the leadership "conversation";
  • the second stage will see 25 of the 100 people selected by their peers to further develop their skills and develop a leadership plan; and
  • the third stage will see the chosen 25 present their action plan back to the larger group.
