Higher Education Leadership Development

All Manner of Things supports Higher Education leaders and practitioners to care for and develop themselves and their roles as they navigate constant change; just as they continue to care for and advance disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge, and the student experience in the midst of emerging and evolving imperatives in the wake of Covid-19.

CALM ​- Career and Life/Leadership Mentoring

“The sessions with Pippa provided an opportunity for me to down tools for an hour or two each month to reflect and discuss my current activities, workings and way forward. I realise now that this is incredibly important to do and will continue to seek and create the opportunities for this. CALM has provided me with problem solving techniques and leadership guidance that will continue to enhance my long term development.”
CALM was developed by All Manner of Things, championed by Professor David Crawford, Head of School, and offered to Early to Mid-Career Academics in the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, at Deakin University. ​
