Methods
You are part of an intensive, two-day experience - studio instead of seminar room. Movement instead of theory. Craftsmanship instead of PowerPoint.
Within this framework, you will deal with topics and exercises that may seem unfamiliar at first glance. However, they will unfold their full effect if you bring openness, curiosity and a willingness to engage with new methods and perspectives. Let yourself be surprised and take the opportunity to reflect intensively on your leadership personality, shape your role as a leader in a sustainable way and discover new approaches to your leadership work through innovative approaches. It would be particularly valuable if you come with real concerns - issues for which you are looking for unusual solutions, need new perspectives or want to develop different attitudes and options for action. With the courage and willingness to think outside the box and embrace new methods and ideas, you give your leadership the opportunity to explore new and unexpected paths. Let yourself be "shifted" in a positive sense, be surprised and open yourself up to unexpected turns and alternative courses of action for individual and distinctive leadership.
Please also plan to have dinner with the group on the evening of the first day of the event. This dinner is included in the seminar price and we ask you to keep this evening free.
Recommended for
