LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 30 June 2023
The Leadership Experience will provide you with insight on how to manage competing priorities by focusing on three fundamental areas of organisational challenges: strategy, leadership and transformation.
3 until 8 December 2023
The Leadership Experience is an intense week-long course designed for experienced managers. During this programme you will have the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of how different approaches achieve results, discuss your ideas and find ways forward with colleagues facing the same issues as you. Gaining fresh insights from those on your level is one of the most powerful ways to learn. We harness this by grouping you into a variety of cross-cultural teams, encouraging you to share experiences throughout the programme. Small working groups are selected and used strategically throughout the programme to ensure the development of rich, meaningful relationships with Eurapco colleagues.

The Leadership Experience is six days long and will take place from 3 until 8 December 2023.

The event takes place at the Ashridge Business School, part of Hult International Business School, in the United Kingdom.

It is a completely immersive – rather than passively receiving – training. Participants are actively involved and reflect on their self-development and create an action plan to apply at work.
Post-programme: participants will have a 1,5 hour coaching session via Skype or telephone on their personal action plan, to ensure each participant has an accountable partner with whom to discuss ideas.
“The Leadership Experience is extremely interactive and of high interest. Lots of exercises I can use in my team. The sessions opened my mind to many aspects I didn’t consider in the past. It’s very hands on and every theoretical aspect was followed by a practical exercise. It was easy to learn. Faculty inspired me to think about so many aspects of the way I perform as a leader. The interactive Learning experience was a great and unforgettable experience. Excellent teachers. The way the content was delivered was extremely practical. There wasn’t any boring moment!”
Alan Siemens, Gothaer
