Following the recent session on Strategic Thinking and Innovation in Leadership for Higher Education (HE) with Caroline Dunne in March, GuildHE will be running a series of three 90-minute online workshops designed for early-career and aspiring leaders, giving them tools they can apply immediately in their institutions.

The three workshops align with the priority areas identified by GuildHE for leadership development: navigating HE governance, managing teams and projects, and influencing and communication.
