What You Will Learn
You will be immersed in a program where learning method focuses on faculty presentations, case studies, individual exercises, small group discussions, student presentations and debates. You will be empowered with leadership tools that will help you explore the qualities of leading with authenticity as well as the deeply personal core of your own leadership.
During the training process, you will be provided the opportunity to participate in several leadership competencies sessions. The sessions are forum of debate-discussions designed to enable participants to speak about the personal roots of their leadership style in an intimate setting. These individual reflection and peer exchange-driven exercises provide an opportunity for for a participant to evolve his approach to leadership in a supportive environment that encourages more openness and self-reflection than might be possible in a large class setting.
