THRIVE has seven key areas for participants’ personal development:
- Defining & Building Strengths
- Leadership & Management
- Collaboration & Co-creation
- Cultural Democracy
- Resilience & Wellbeing
- Professional & Personal Goals
- Taking Action
The programme modules will be delivered over the first half of 2022 with one to once coaching taking place in March and May 2022.
