Investa’s Leadership Academy – Aspiring Leaders program for 2025 officially started in May. The new cohort gathered for the first time and were joined by their managers to hear from Investa’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Menegazzo, facilitator Leesa Shannon from KarmanLine and two of our 2024 cohort participants, Molly Keane and Joshua Ponton, who shared their experiences.
The program has evolved over the years, with this year’s cohort being the seventh to participate. It offers participants the opportunity to better understand what it means to be a leader, and covers essential topics including leadership foundations and mindset, relationships and rapport, and influencing skills.
Peter Menegazzo says: "The 2025 Investa Aspiring Leaders Program is a fantastic initiative that truly embodies our commitment to nurturing the leaders of the future. We are pleased to partner with Leesa Shannon, who will facilitate the program and provide invaluable opportunities for participants to develop essential leadership skills and mindsets, preparing them to take on significant roles within our organisation and beyond.”
Leesa Shannon, Leadership Academy Program Facilitator, KarmanLine says: “The Investa Aspiring Leaders Program is an exceptional opportunity for emerging leaders to develop the skills and mindset necessary for future leadership roles. The initiative is just one way Investa gives back to their people through developing their leadership, also fosters strong relationships and rapport among peers.”
