Snapshot of participants’ feedback:
“The ‘What Kind of Leader Do You Want To Be?’ workshop was an enriching experience with fruitful discussions and insightful readings. The tools provided for measuring leadership were extensive and eye-opening. My biggest takeaway was gaining insight into the dynamic nature of leadership, especially considering the biases in available American literature. The workshop leader’s varied experiences across different geographies added immense depth to our conversations, making every session immersive and engaging. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in exploring leadership in all its complexities.”

“I recently had the privilege of attending a transformative three-day workshop led by Priyamvada Taneja, Founder of Priyamvada Taneja Consulting. Our facilitator, Mr Peter Welch, shared his invaluable insights, for which I am deeply grateful. The workshop beautifully emphasised that leadership isn’t about adhering to one fixed style but about contextual flexibility—adapting to what is required. One decisive takeaway was the vivid analogy of leadership styles: A Clothesline—steady, grounded, with the ability to support multiple viewpoints. The analogy of a Kite—dynamic, adaptable, and flying high while balancing multiple forces-had a profound impact on our perception of leadership styles. Yet another powerful takeaway was the vivid analogy of leadership styles: a Powercord—focused and direct, efficiently channelling energy where it’s most needed. This analogy reinforced the idea of concentrated leadership, making us all feel more effective and impactful in our roles. This experience reinforced that authentic leadership requires stepping up, adjusting to varying contexts, and knowing when to shift your approach. It’s about understanding people, processes, and priorities in real-time. The workshop has significantly deepened my understanding of these principles. #LeadershipDevelopment #ContextualLeadership #CollaborativeLeadership #SchoolLeadership

“Attending the “”What Type of Leader Do You Want to Be”” workshop has been a truly transformative experience. The workshop not only encouraged deep self-reflection but also provided practical insights into leadership styles and how they align with personal values and organizational goals. Through thought-provoking discussions, activities, and self-assessments, I was able to explore my leadership potential in a structured and supportive environment. The facilitators created an open space for learning, where participants could share their thoughts and experiences, helping us to connect with diverse perspectives on leadership. I left the workshop feeling empowered with a clearer vision of the type of leader I aspire to be—one who leads with integrity, empathy, and purpose. The tools and strategies shared during the sessions will serve as a valuable foundation in my leadership journey, both personally and professionally. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to refine their leadership approach or to those seeking to build a leadership identity that resonates with their values. It’s a powerful experience for anyone, regardless of where they are in their leadership development.”

Very relevant for academic leaders as well as non-academic leaders who work in the education domain ! The workshop was insightful, relevant, and most of all fairly comprehensive ; I came away with a deeper understanding of not just the nuances of being a good leader, but also on how to balance professional leadership demands with one’s own needs for self-care.
