Scottish Enterprise commissioned and part funded the Oil & Gas: Future Industry Leaders Programme (FILP)
in response to the Leadership for Change Agenda of the Energy Jobs Taskforce (EJTF). We are delivering a
unique cross-supply-chain programme consisting of a 3 day/3 night residential leadership retreat, reinforced
by three 1-1 Leadership Coaching sessions and consolidated by a Leadership Learning Circle to embed new
leadership behaviours across the industry and create collaborative cohorts and potential subsequent
programmes.

industry is such a big

seeds of change. This

It has been well worth taking time out from my busy schedule to

leaders to improve my leadership skills and to be able to have a
positive impact on the future of the industry

The course has made me think about how small
changes can have an impact and these may be more
sustainable than larger changes
I have become more aware of how I act and react
in certain situations and the impact that can have
on others. I now have tools to try and control my
reactions and tailor them where appropriate. I
have also started challenging certain decisions
within the organisation to try and alter others
perceptions of some stances we are taking
a leader and I see this now as one of my
strengths
FILP has definitely helped me understand
that positive mindset and positive steps
can lead to a longer sustainable change
The programme has helped me understand
that others are very like minded. The people I
met have already collaborated with my own

I have been much more open

I am being more proactive in and inclusive on strategic
