'I would really recommend this course. It was amazing, thought provoking and helped me make sense and reach beyond my boundaries. Emily Humphreys and Dr Sharon Zivkovic made such a great and complementary teaching team, and the cohort aspect - learning from others - is such an important opporunity to learn from others across the world working with different change making challenges. Love you both and #WickedLab for the amazing journey!'

'This is brilliant! I’ve almost graduated as a student of Wicked Lab’s Complex Systems Leadership Program. This program is for anyone interested or involved in influencing, building or leading systemic change. It is grounded in your own real-life initiative/s as the catalyst to build the adaptive capability of your organisation or community.'

"Built on a foundation of research, the program offers practitioners like myself multiple connection-making points (videos, articles, added references, live exchanges) helping to name lived experiences, add depth to existing knowledge, and expand my “tool box” on how to embrace the interdependent factors in complex systems. The Wicked Labs tool is intuitive and creates many “ah ha” moments along the way! If you’re interested in shifting systems to better serve communities and society, seriously consider this program."

"I would definitely recommend the program. An understanding of complex systems leadership theories has given me more confidence in approaching communities, and has allowed me to better articulate the complexity of communities and food security within our local context." Read more...

"I would definitely recommend this program! It is so applied, which is vital because the content is quite different to what I’ve studied before. I have also really enjoyed the format of the online program - there is a good mix of videos, podcasts, lectures and face-to-face videoconference - so you are accountable!"
