Next Generation Leadership program is a unique leadership course designed to invest in aspiring leaders across Human Services. WAIS have focused this program specifically on direct support workers, who work in partnership with people and their families, to develop themselves as leaders.
The Next Generation Leaders program was developed through a capacity building grant, funded by the WA Department of Communities, Disability Services.
The program ran for the first time over 2020/21, supporting 16 aspiring leaders from a range of community organisations in WA.
Next Generation Leaders supports participants to;
- Learn about all aspects of leadership including; leadership theory, why your values matter, how culture shapes our approach, how neuroscience can help you lead effectively and what it takes to lead through teams
- Tackle a leadership project in your own context and organisation (with our support)
- Connect with your CEO – who will support you on your journey

“Fresh eyes are important – keep them open, use info wisely don’t just accept the judgement of others. Leadership close to people – means it’s in the detail – work to understand it, meeting people where they are at – too much support disables people, too little disempowers people.”
Ibrahim
“All kinds of leadership are beautiful; you don’t need to be a version of someone else – you can be your own brand.”
Hayley
“You can’t ask people we support to take personal growth journeys if we haven’t had a go ourselves.”
Ry
“Looking after yourself is the foundation of looking out for others.”
Nat
“Reflection is not extra work – it is the work.”
Bettina
“There is a need to support yourself in this role – look after yourself to make sure your tank is full, to be able to lead with confidence, self-belief and purpose is so important to success.”
