It connects you with other thinkers, challenging ideas, and new ways of being an effective leader. Instead of dragging one another down, the McKinnon course helps lift up the quality of politicians and their decisions.

In an occupation where we seem to be constantly \u2018in the moment\u2019 and have very little time to lift our eyes to the horizon, it provided a fantastic opportunity to pause, consider the very nature of an MP\u2019s role in parliamentary democracy, how we might improve government and strengthen democratic institutions, and how we might more meaningfully make a contribution to our constituencies and broader society. The ability to learn from such a rich array of diverse and experienced speakers \u2013 and from other scholars \u2013 is unique. Working with MPs from around Australia and from both sides of the aisle was particularly enriching. At a time where we so easily retreat into extreme partisan politics, the program allowed us to share experiences, understand genuine points of difference more deeply and appreciate common perspectives. I particularly enjoyed the policy project: testing my own thoughts and seeing how others approach some of the most challenging and complex issues our society faces. The program creates a safe place for dangerous ideas: it\u2019s completely unique to the current Australian political experience.<i style=\"float: right;margin-top:20px;\" class=\"fas fa-quote-right fa-3x\"><\/i><\/p>\n        <h5 class=\"testiDescription\"><strong style=\"font-weight:500;\">Jessica Shaw MLA<\/strong><br>\n            Member for Swan Hills, WA Parliament<br>\n            Advanced Political Leadership 2023<\/h5>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"slickItem\">\n        <p><i style=\"margin-right: 20px;\" class=\"fas fa-quote-left fa-3x\"><\/i>As a recent participant in the Advanced Political Leadership Course at the renowned McKinnon Institute, I can confidently attest to the invaluable learning and preparation it provides for aspiring government ministers. The program's comprehensive curriculum, expert faculty, and immersive learning experience have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective in today's complex political landscape. One of the most significant benefits of the course is its emphasis on practical leadership and governance strategies. Through interactive seminars, case studies, and simulations, I gained a deep understanding of policy formulation, crisis management, negotiation, and decision-making processes. These practical experiences have not only broadened my perspective on effective governance but have also sharpened my ability to navigate real-world political challenges with confidence and astuteness. Furthermore, the McKinnon Institute's faculty comprises distinguished political leaders, scholars, and practitioners who bring a wealth of expertise and insights to the classroom. Their mentorship and guidance have been instrumental in honing my leadership acumen and understanding of best practices in public administration. Moreover, the institute's extensive network of alumni and industry connections has provided me with valuable opportunities for ongoing learning, collaboration, and professional growth. By developing a deep understanding of ethical leadership, public policy analysis, and strategic communication, I am now better equipped to contribute to the creation of more effective and responsive government. The course has instilled in me a commitment to ethical governance, evidence-based decision-making, and inclusive leadership, which are essential qualities for future government ministers seeking to enact positive change and serve their constituents with integrity. In conclusion, the Advanced Political Leadership Course at the McKinnon Institute has been an enriching and transformative experience that has prepared me to be a more effective and visionary leader in government.

The McKinnon Institute\u2019s Advanced Political Leadership Program builds on the skills MP\u2019s have built early in their careers so they can become the next generation of leaders - leaders who are more effectively able to deliver on their visions because they have the right tools and training. The course covers a broad range of topics and encourages participants to think deeply about why they entered politics and how they can be most effective at their jobs.

It provided\n            me with the tools and insights to be effectively prepared to become a Minister. I found the speakers\n            engaging and content incredibly useful. I cannot recommend the course highly enough to other\n            Parliamentarians. <i style=\"float: right;margin-top:20px;\" class=\"fas fa-quote-right fa-3x\"><\/i><\/p>\n        <h5 class=\"testiDescription\"><strong style=\"font-weight:500;\">Hon James Griffin MP<\/strong><br>\n            Minister for Environment and Heritage & Member for Manly<br>\n            Advanced Political Leadership 2021<\/h5>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"slickItem\">\n        <p><i style=\"margin-right: 20px;\" class=\"fas fa-quote-left fa-3x\"><\/i> Ministers play a central role in the\n            Westminster system. Many who take on this role do so after having gained some experience as a backbencher.\n            However, there are qualitative differences in the role of being a minister that many are unprepared for:\n            making decisions as part of a team and then collectively owning those decisions; working directly with the\n            public service; crafting and seeking the passage of legislation; and assuming responsibility for the messy\n            implementation of agreed policy in the real world. The Advanced Political Leadership course fills a gap by\n            offering early and mid-career politicians aspiring to become a minister with both the theoretical and\n            practical tools to be better prepared should a future opportunity arise. It is wide in scope yet uniformly\n            exceptional in both the quality of course content and the standard of high-profile expert presenters.\n            Participating in the course was extremely useful in helping me to think about the longer term needs of my\n            electorate and society more generally. <i style=\"float: right;margin-top:20px;\"\n                class=\"fas fa-quote-right fa-3x\"><\/i><\/p>\n        <h5 class=\"testiDescription\"><strong style=\"font-weight:500;\">Dr Daniel Mulino MP<\/strong><br>\n            Member for Fraser<br>\n            Advanced Political Leadership 2021<\/h5>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"slickItem\">\n        <p><i style=\"margin-right: 20px;\" class=\"fas fa-quote-left fa-3x\"><\/i> When I was first asked to be a part of\n            this course, I thought two things \u2014 firstly, do I really need to do this, and secondly, do I have time for\n            this? <\/p>\n        <p>Well, the answer to the first question was yes \u2014 I absolutely needed to do this, and the answer to the second\n            part of the question \u2014 I have to find time to do this, there's no excuse. We've never experienced a\n            situation like COVID-19, whether as a Member of Parliament and as a member of the community.
