Supporting your leadership development journey

Canoe Wales • Jan 12, 2021

There are a range of NEW resources that aspirant and existing Leaders can access from the comfort of your sofa to support your development journey.


Informal learning, experience based learning, and an availability of individualised choices are important to developing skilled leaders. Whether you’ve been leading trips for many years or are looking to complete your assessment in the future, these resources provide considerations, top tips and development opportunities that you can explore now and put into practice once you’re back on the water.


  • The NEW Leader and Raft Guide Self-Analysis tool aids you in identifying specific areas of development for consideration, so you can plan your own unique learning journey based on your responses.
  • If you’re planning trips for the future, the NEW Leading in Unfamiliar Environments eLearning will provide top tips and considerations, whether you’re driving 20 miles down the road to a new location or planning an overseas expedition.
  • Whilst you’re considering your trips for the future, the Journey Planning Sheet (PDF)  can be used to plan as well as evaluate your journey, with key information that’s important to remember ahead of your trip.
  • A digital logbook is available to download so you can record your experience, forming a diary to capture and reflect. Great for aspirant Leaders to support you in your progress towards assessment or for existing Leaders to use as a development record.
  • The interactive Leadership eLearning takes you through some of the key principles behind the British Canoeing Model of Leadership, supporting your decision making when you’re out on the water. 


Explore more resources in the Digital Library to support your development.
