The Next Generation Leadership Programme (NGLP) is making remarkable strides in fostering leadership and empowerment across diverse communities. Recently, the Franciscan Sisters of St Anna came together in a transformative focus group that revealed how the program is shaping new leaders grounded in faith, courage, and community vision.

One Sister shared how the program rekindled her confidence to serve in new leadership roles, saying, “I now approach my work with renewed energy and purpose. The skills I acquired have helped me empower not only myself but the entire community we serve.” Another participant reflected on the value of shared learning: “Through this program, we learned to lead with compassion and resilience. It’s not just about directing, but about uplifting others with humility.”

The Sisters highlighted practical gains from the training such as improved communication, strategic planning, and navigating challenges with grace. One Sister recounted, “The leadership tools gave me clarity in decision-making and strengthened my ability to listen attentively and respond thoughtfully.” Their testimonies revealed how NGLP goes beyond traditional leadership concepts to incorporate service, spirituality, and lasting community impact.

This initiative is more than training; it is a catalyst for change inspiring a ripple effect beyond the participants. With each session, the Sisters step into their roles as change-makers ready to serve their communities with renewed dedication and innovative approaches.

The story of the Franciscan Sisters of St Anna shines as a beacon for aspiring leaders who seek to make a difference grounded in strong values and visionary goals.
