Enablers

An ‘Enabling' Program offering a qualifying certificate from Chain Reaction Foundation affiliated with University of Western Sydney. A course suitable for men and women from 18 to 80 who would like to take stronger leadership roles in the family, at work, in their specific community or church group or the Mt Druitt community at large, in any walk of life where they are called upon to communicate well, to care about the other, to encourage change to happen to create a better atmosphere of understanding between people. Chain Reaction particularly welcomes Aboriginal people and those from the diverse range of ethnic backgrounds we are fortunate to have living in the Mt Druitt area.

WHAT QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED?

Good will, willingness to work as part of the group, ability to attend 12 consecutive sessions, formal education not necessary and no university degree will over qualify you, the course is experiential and explicitly prepared for those who take or prepare to take a strong leadership role in Mt Druitt community either in a government department, community organisation, resident's action group, within a faith-based community or particular ethnic group. As an ‘enabler' previous participants have found much greater personal confidence, and in some cases have been offered further development and promotional opportunities.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

How to discover the best parts of yourself that will lead to further success in your adult life, to listen with confidence to your own voice and that of others, to heed what is good and reject what may be harmful. You will learn to value yourself as you have not done before (no matter how many previous training programs you may have attended over years) and to value and respect others in the same way. You will learn how to become a good listener, communicator, and decision-maker. You will learn how to express yourself with assertion but not aggression, to make yourself clearly understood and therefore appreciated. You will learn the leadership skills required for the coming decade - you will learn how to become an ‘ENABLER' the finest kind of community leader and the most sort after for the years ahead in building safe and engaged communities.
