So I have a great boss who said he will support me to complete a training programme this year. However I need to choose between either a technical training option- learning more about the tools and methods I need to use in my job, or a leadership programme that has very good reviews and includes introductions to contacts across the city (big focus on networking across sectors).
I am having a dilemma as not sure which would be better in the longer term. I can do a lot of self study on tools and methods and I have been struggling with confidence and networking issues. However as I am in a new industry not sure what would be the most ‘strategic’ way to go.
Any thoughts?
