Leadership capability and mentoring
Sharing our knowledge and skills with the next generation
With three decades of experience in this sector
Green Skills is passionate about leadership capability and mentoring. We are committed to sharing our skills with current and emerging leaders in the environmental, Landcare, NRM and Sustainability and Community Development sectors.
Our dedicated staff and project contractors, in partnership with external consultants, develop and deliver successful leadership programs for regional community leaders both within Western Australia and interstate.
We have a special interest in leadership development for women in regional and rural Australia.
We continue to be leaders in our own projects
We appreciate the ongoing development of leadership skills as necessary to our own constant growth and improvement.
Our experienced facilitators offer a range of specific skills and leadership development workshops. These can be developed to suit organisational and/or individual needs and delivered in the work place or for self-organised groups at independent locations.
Leadership Skills Development
Our Supporting Women in Leadership – One Day workshops have been attended by women across the Great Southern and South West of Western Australia. These workshops have been tailored to suit people living in regional and rural Australia. Participants learn about their unique style of leadership, communication styles and strategies for affirmative engagement, and increase their confidence and capability to lead in their own communities.

Our Take the Next Step – ongoing mentoring service provides individual mentoring for current and emerging leaders, developed to suit their individual needs in their leadership journey or project or campaign development.
We also provide a range of standalone development workshops that can be arranged and delivered in blocks according to your organisation or community needs. For a list of some of the possibilities READ HERE.
