Page 11 ry of our Leadership Development Programme, we invite you to view r participants through the years. T he LDP was one of the most transforming and rewarding events that occurred during my tenure in the Public Service of Saint Lucia. As a Permanent Secretary at the time, the principles learned reshaped my leadership style and caused greater effectiveness in steering staff members and the Ministry in a positive direction. The changes in my leadership enhanced an amiable yet strategically focused environment. I wish I was tooled with the skills in the unique manner within which they were delivered as this would have averted some errors which were made during my professional journey. Notwithstanding, the learned values and philosophies resonate and are utilised in my professional and personal sphere. I therefore recommend the LDP to every employee from middle management to the top. Dr. Allison Jean, CEO, National Utilities Regulatory Commission and Senator in the Upper House of Parliament, Saint Lucia T he CLDP has provided me with countless invaluable opportunities for personal growth and professional advancement. Through engaging workshops and enlightening mentorship, I have sharpened my leadership acumen and acquired a profound comprehension of effective management techniques. The unwavering support and guidance from my colleagues and mentors within this programme have been instrumental in my journey. Shelia Imbert, Deputy Permanent Secretary, Department of the Public Service & Gender Affairs, Government of Saint Lucia T he main lesson from the Leadership Development Programme that resonates with me is that I should not only focus on leading people but that I should equally pay attention to leading self and building wellness resilience. As a leader, I need to have both physical and mental health in order to give effective and efficient service, especially in the public sector. I have since then paid close attention to my circle of life by putting a wellness action plan together. I wish CARICAD well, as a premiere institution that continues to promote the holistic development of potential and seasoned leaders of the region. Dr. Uralise Delaire Deputy Permanent Secretary (Ag.) Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, Saint Lucia (Cohort 18)
