· Tell us what excites you about developing your leadership skills at this time in your career
· Explain why you want to be part of this programme in particular
· Summarise your leadership experience to date, identifying what prior leadership training you’ve had and what impact it’s had on your career
· Describe a challenge you’re currently facing, or a project that you’d like to be involved in, that will require you to use your leadership skills over the next year
· Visualise where you see yourself in 5 years time, and how participation in this programme would contribute to achieving this
· Explore how developing your leadership skills would benefit your association (LIANZA, Te Rōpū Whakahau, or Museums Aotearoa), and the wider GLAM sector
