Guarding Governance®:

Guarding Governance® is a professional development workshop designed to assist Executives and Directors in developing their capacity building skills to support effective governance practices, with a particular focus on Indigenous governance systems.

We will explain the principles of good governance and teach you diverse communication styles, and you will acquire skills to incorporate a cultural perspective into your management approach. This workshop will focus on improving your ability to make strong decisions so that you can lead better in your organisation.

Our Governance training has already been successfully applied to a range of industries and agencies, including; information technology, construction, communication, design, museum & gallery, science, research, arts and education. We've trained Aboriginal Corporations, Land Councils and private companies.

Testimonial

"Terri Janke and Company developed a 3 day governance training package around the specific governance and strategic planning needs of our organisation. There was positive feedback from participants after the sessions regarding the relevancy and responsiveness of the facilitation team. The experience with TJC has helped us consolidate our strengths and build capacity for future growth. Ultimately this will benefit the health needs of the communities we serve."
