TESTIMONIAL
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other” – I was fortunate to spend a week with some amazing leaders in the superannuation industry learning about leadership, strategy and many more as part of the FEAL MBS Emerging Leaders Program.
Thank you Vivek Chaudhri and the team at the Melbourne Business School for sharing your knowledge and expertise in the industry with this brilliant program! I am looking forward to sharing and applying these learnings in my work and personal life. Thank you Equip Super, FEAL and Katrina Bacon for giving me this amazing opportunity. ”
