Along with leadership theories and practices, the programme uses poetry as its primary tool of empowerment. Working with Selina Tusitala Marsh, each participant composes their own leadership poem over the course of the programme, choosing a metaphor that best represents their passions, energies, and identities.
“Through exercise-based workshops and research-based sessions, the metaphor begins to reveal more of its wisdom to each leader as they work on their poem,” Selina explains.
