Feedback from NIODA Graduates

Master's graduate

I am often relied on as an ‘expert’. I’ve been able to use my learning at NIODA to shift from ‘the expert’ to opening the conversation for much more collaborative, insightful, thoughtful conversations and working with clients and colleagues to get to much more robust outcomes.

Brigid O

Master's Graduate

If someone said to me, ‘I’m wanting to really be challenged, pushed out of my comfort zone, I’m wanting to evolve to a new level of leadership’, then I’d say ‘look, I’ve got something that will interest you’.

Master's Graduate

The learning I did at NIODA helped me see anxiety as facilitative rather than obstructive. When we are able to draw on anxiety and convert it into a more usable form of energy it becomes transformational, fuelling our growth and development. Every day in my work, I am still learning and drawing on the skills I learned at NIODA.

Master's Graduate

The learning at NIODA has given me the skills to actually work with the chaos at work rather than just wonder what’s going on.

The NIODA learning focuses on people and groups, not finance and business plans. This style of learning and working truly recognises that people and the way we work together are the foundations for healthy and successful organisations.
