Why this course?

I’ve written Leadership Assets and developed this training program for asset managers who want to realise their leadership potential and for leaders who want to empower their teams.

There are a number of leadership assets that I believe are essential at each stage of your asset management career. It’s important to develop them from day one. This training program will go into these essential assets in more depth. 

Don't wait until you get a promotion or are in a senior position before thinking “I should learn some leadership skills!” Right from the very beginning, we can be developing these skills that we need throughout our careers and throughout our lives. This is your career journey and Leadership Assets helps you to develop a whole-of-life plan for your asset management career.

Testimonials

Monique offers a different perspective and opens up a new way of thinking.

Monique has provided our asset management team with an edge to understand and provide solutions to the senior management level.

Monique is a thought leader in the Asset Management and Board leadership areas. This doesn’t come from simply pushing a single solution. It comes from bringing the wealth of knowledge gained through engaging with a very broad network and then applying strategic thought when proposing a solution.

Monique was “new and fresh” and delivered with “authenticity”.

“Monique is offering something different [than] I am used to”.

“Monique took it to the next level”.

Monique has an amazing ability to harness people from disparate backgrounds to provide different perspectives on how to address problems.

Monique has shown me the value of listening and cultivating a strong network of contacts to assist when you don’t have an answer to a problem.

Monique's perspective

Over the last 20 years I've spent a lot of time in many industries, but always with a similar focus, where asset management is central to their strategy. I've worked primarily with boards and executive teams and senior leaders in asset management, in industries like mining, railways, ports, utilities, power, water and defence. 

I'm passionate about the importance of asset management across industries and in different types of organisations. I'm also really passionate about empowering leaders in asset management to reach their leadership potential and to empower their own teams. When you have leading people working within your organisation who are passionate about what they do, it helps you to become a leading organisation: in your industry, in your sector, and in the wider world.

My book Leadership Assets , and my training and coaching programs, aim to empower you as a leader in asset management to realise your own leadership potential. I'm really excited about the outcomes that we'll see from this. My earlier book, Asset Management for Directors, was written to help leaders, including board directors and senior executives, learn about the importance of asset management in their companies and their own role in asset management - you could call that asset management for leaders. Now Leadership Assets is all about leadership for asset managers.

Director

Dr Monique Beedles

This course will work one by one through the nine leadership assets that I outline in my book Leadership Assets. You will have the opportunity for self-reflection around:

  • Where are you now?

  • How well developed is that skill for you?

  • What are the next steps you need to take?

  • What are some of your career goals?

  • Where would you like to end up?

  • What are your ambitions?
