Testimonials

I especially enjoyed meeting the other people in my cohort and discussing common issues  for managing in the public sector, regardless of the nature of the agency’s work.  Doing the course gave me the opportunity to take time out and think about things that I don’t get the time to do in my day-to-day routine.

Dr Jill Lethlean,  Department of Environment and Conservation

The PSM Program has provided me with insight into my own abilities and given me confidence to go onward and upward.  Importantly, I have realised that my management skills are not as lacking as I previously thought. My key outcome from the PSM Program was identifying the areas I need to improve in, such as team building and change management, and learning techniques to facilitate this improvement. On a personal level, the Program gave me the opportunity to meet and network with peers in government.

Natalie Barton Leeson,  Department of Commerce

Personally, I have found the PSM Program created a focus on continuous professional development that has created a thirst for knowledge and a desire to articulate my qualification into advanced studies.

I am now ‘thinking outside the square’ and developing more dynamic solutions and alternative approaches to the way I operate as a professional Local Government Officer.
