Public Affairs Ireland and The Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy has its newest partner! We are so proud to be working with Public Affairs Ireland (PAI) to bring their fabulous offerings to the sector! 

Public Affairs Ireland have been the leading figure in Training and Development for the Public sector for over 20 years and they are a multi-award-wining provider of learning and development options. While their courses are designed with the Public Sector in mind, they are available to anyone wishing to attend. 

PAI offer a huge range of courses, available in a wide range of formats from online, to face to face and they also engage in developing tailored training for organisations who need something bespoke. 

We are most excited by the types of courses being offered by the PAI and really hope many of you will avail yourself of their very generous 33% discount that they are offering to members of The Wheel through the Leadership Academy. 

They have some excellent leadership options such as: 

Developing high performance teams 

Qualities of a high performing team include delivering on commitment, consistancy and reliability and the aim of this seminar is to demonstrate and outline the important elements that team leaders should be aware of in terms of their own leadership style to ensure their team and organisation are performing to it’s highest ability.

Women in Leadership  

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking event as we celebrate the remarkable strides made by women in championing progress and leadership within the Public Sector and Civil Service. This half day event will welcome a panel of distinguished speakers who will share their experiences and expertise, shedding light on innovative strategies to address current issues and empower women to overcome barriers in achieving equality.

Certificate in Strategic Leadership 

What does it take to be a good leader and manager in public sector organisations? It is often said that good leaders are made and not born, and that leadership skills are acquired through identifying your own leadership styles and adapting them to the situation and people involved in your workplace. Formal training programmes in leadership provide a learning structure within which to develop an understanding of the principles of leadership and identify areas in which individuals need to concentrate their development effort to be excellent leaders and managers.

But they also have lots of short form courses to deal with specific items for people like: 

Interviewer panel training 

Dealing with difficult customers and behaviors 

Mastering public speaking and Presentation skills. 

Whatever your needs there is a good chance PAI have an offering to cover it, and many of their offerings are available for a 33% discount if you mention the leadership academy when you apply. A full list of the course with discounts available is available HERE

We expect this offer to be particularly useful to HR and People managers looking for options to upskill their teams in targeted areas.
