What our members say...

MyLeadership has given me a real sense of self-awareness; a recognition that I know more than I thought, and I understand more than I think!

- Mrs Ozma Iqbal MInstLM, Department for Work and Pensions

I feel tremendously privileged to be able to have access to such well thought through and wonderful knowledge, resources and analysis and be part of such a thriving network of people and ideas.

I’m deeply thankful and astonished this is available to me for the tiny amount I’ve paid for my yearly membership - it’s clearly extraordinary value for money and brings huge well-being benefit for me as well as professional.
 

- Alison Allmand-Smith

The digital badges and online accreditation process is first class - the interview with a real person is an excellent touch. First class team, keep up the good work!

- Jo McDowall MInstM, The London Coaching Space

Being a member of The Institute of Leadership & Management means much more to me than a certificate and post-nominal letters, although those are helpful indicators to clients that I am investing in knowledge and skills that will benefit them. I am a better leader for my membership, and a more reflective practitioner.

- Cathi Shovlin FInstLM, Founder, Human Revolutions

MyLeadership has inspired me to become a better leader! The tools and resources available enabled me to easily identify my knowledge and skill gaps. I was then able to work on improving these around my busy schedule, at a time that was convenient for me.

- Claire Tindale, Durham University

MyLeadership is a modern product, for a modern managerial environment, in a modern age.

- Phillip Tweedie,

To have the My Careers  service as part of the membership value proposition is invaluable, particularly at a time when people like myself maybe between jobs and haven’t dusted off their CV for a number of years. My CV was rated 60% optimal but with a few simple tweaks and adjustments I am now over 80% optimal. 

- Paula Wilcock FInstLM

Leadership to me is being curious about possibilities. The Institute website has really opened my leadership to new learning by exploring new thinking and skills. I would encourage all leaders to engage their teams in the programmes on offer through The Institute of Leadership & Management.

- Steve Playford FInstLM, Leadership and Wellbeing Consultant
