What the program looks like

The Beyond Leadership Program is an in-depth leadership development program that takes place over the course of one year. In three comprehensive modules you will work on concrete, reality-based cases and equip yourself with newest applied leadership skills. The program is offered in two cohorts with different starting options. Both options are complemented by two interactive evening formats with inspirational guest speakers and facilitators alongside the learning journey.

You will start your leadership journey with 3,5 days of concrete mapping and goals setting to:

  • Understand the different trends that make leadership more difficult in a disruptive world
  • Reflect on how these trends are impacting your organization and the way you need to lead

At your second stop of your leadership journey you will:

  • Meet leading practitioners and be inspired by their innovations (field trips)
  • Expand your toolbox to craft solutions to contemporary problems
  • Activate inner resources to overcome stress and build resilience
  • Develop strategies to navigate paradoxes and contradictions, while staying true to your purpose (peer coaching)

At this third empowering part of your journey you will finally:

  • Develop and apply strategies to solve the challenge you identified
  • Build support in your organization so your innovation can take root
  • Align your personal and organizational values to broaden your impact
  • Take measures so you and your organization can keep thriving (peer coaching)
