Self-leadership
Reach your full potential
in Open Executive Education in Belgium and #27 worldwide
Before you can lead others, you have to understand yourself. This two-day journey is an investment in you. You’ll live and learn the self-management skills you need to become a better leader – including maximising your strengths and identifying your weaknesses – so you can leap into bringing out the best in your teams.
In two days, you’ll gain personal management skills that will help you adapt your behaviour and develop a deeper understanding of how your actions impact others. You’ll return to your organisation ready to leap into managing yourself in a smarter way.
