Your training program in 3 steps

  • Prior to the training program, we ask you to complete an online intake form. If you prefer to discuss your personal learning objectives in more detail, we’ll be more than happy to schedule a one-on-one intake call. Based on your learning objectives, background, and focus areas, we’ll match you with a training group with similar professionals. This way, the training will be aligned with your situation and learning objectives.

  • The four-day training program ‘Practical Leadership in 4 Months’ is spread over the course of four months. Each training day combines inspiration, theory, and practice. You alternate between plenary sessions and assignments in subgroups. This way, you will not only learn from the trainer, but also from each other.

    At the end of each training day, you discuss with the trainer whether you have achieved your learning objectives. You agree on the assignments you will carry out in the intervening period and what the focus is for the next training day. Your training program ends with a personal evaluation.
