This program is a life-changing experience that has a powerful impact and challenges your leadership to higher levels. If you want to become a leader of profound character and lead your team in an impactful way, you need to attend.

I highly recommend the program to anyone with municipal leadership responsibilities. The experience offers invaluable learning from peers, insights into your leadership style, and unique opportunities for personal and professional growth.

It was an excellent environment, working in teams and navigating the many "grey" situations, testing judgement and ability to extract pertinent facts from the case material. The group discussions were also a great opportunity to get perspectives on the cases from other municipal executives. The exercises which allowed insight into our leadership styles were quite valuable. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone in a leadership role.

The high-level case studies challenged my own understanding and leadership orientation in a variety of complex scenarios. Most importantly, the program as a whole provided me with a strong avenue for self-reflection that I have been able to utilize and grow in a way that supports my role as a leader in my municipality.

It was an unbelievable experience... I thoroughly enjoyed the program. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and meet fellow professionals at such a world class facility. I have already changed select behaviours based on my learnings in the program. Gerard, Ann and Kylie were excellent hosts.

I can confidently say that was the most informative program I have completed. It provides extreme value for the money. I learned more about myself and leadership in those 3 days than my combined work experience! Totally appreciative of the program. I think that's the sort of education program AMCTO should offer! I would also agree 'the people in the program make the program.' Gerard and Ann are amazing.

Ivey is nothing like I've experienced before. The amount of work put into the program, the details – it is amazing and current.

The program taught me what the key leadership skills are and what they look like through well-chosen examples. I have learned more in three days then I have in previous week long courses.

Ivey’s faculty were genuinely passionate about the subject matter. The interactive environment enabled the group to feel connected and work collaboratively throughout the program.

Learning alongside other municipal leaders allowed me to hear so many diverse perspectives on our common challenges. Learning from others' experiences clarified my own approach to leadership.
