Liberated Leaders: Leading Through Growth, Change and Disruption

Are you an ‘already’ successful business leader with a strong vision for the future, experiencing challenges in the current business environment, spurred on by growth, change and disruption?

If you want to build a future-ready workforce, Liberated Leaders would love to help. liberated leaders logo

Liberated Leaders is an applied Leadership Program with a special focus on skills, practices and capabilities to navigate change and disruption.

We offer leaders greater confidence and skills to lead through change and disruption, to foster an aligned and engaged team, ensure business relevance to secure customers (now and in the future), build capacity to engage in any conversation (in the right mood) and to experience a greater sense of wellbeing and resilience.

The Program is now open and offering just 30 places for the class of 2017-2018.

  • If you’re looking to confidently lead your organisation or business unit through change and profound disruption;
  • If you understand the imperative of continuing to develop new offers for customers to stay relevant;
  • If you have a strong vision for the future but are hampered by delayed deliverables, poor quality work and budget blowouts;
  • If you show up to work with the best of intentions, but recurrently find yourself frustrated, fatigued or disappointed with the motivation and productivity of your people;
  • If you face high stakes, stressful situations but find it difficult to engage in or facilitate the right conversations at the right time with the right people; and
  • If you’re hungry for the skills, tools and behaviours to influence results…

This is the perfect opportunity for you!

Three new wind farms to deliver 200 MW clean energy through reverse auction

Three new wind farms will be built in Victoria and South Australia as a result of the ACT Government’s first wind energy reverse auction.

Australian Capital Territory Minister for the Environment Simon Corbell said the reverse auction has resulted in a $50 million direct investment into the local economy and broader economic benefits in excess of $240 million.

The three winning projects were:

The Ararat Wind Farm, an 80.5 megawatt (MW) wind farm developed by RES Australia west of Ballarat, Victoria
The Coonooer Bridge Wind Farm, a 19.4 MW wind farm developed by Canberra company Windlab Limited west of Bendigo, Victoria
The Hornsdale Wind Farm, a 100 MW wind farm developed by Neoen south-east of Port Augusta in South Australia.
