Team values, roles and personality traits. Leadership requires us to have followers. What is a good follower? How to establish a good connection with them?

Effective communication increases cohesion and makes decision making easier. You will learn how charisma guides the communication process.
You will learn about the effects of confidence, how to create firm boundaries and how to negotiate effectively.
Challenging and unpredictable situations need proactive and solution-oriented leaders. Your last challenge: self-reflection and a setting up a concrete action plan.
The content was engaging and an absolute addition to my learning experience. The amount of study material was sometimes challenging next to my regular studies. The more time you are able to invest in the preparation of the learning material, the more you will get out of it!
BSc PYSCHOLOGY
The course content, very interesting and comprehensive, coupled with its structure, oriented towards group interaction, resulted in a great learning experience. I would totally recommend it because it gave me the opportunity to learn useful theories and concepts in a fun and practical way.
MSc HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
What makes a good leader? How to be one? What does it mean to be a leader?
Sessions will be led by a team of experienced trainers. On each session, you can expect at least two of them facilitating the exercises, discussions, and sharing their experiences.
Niek has a passion for self-development and public speaking. In 2019, he set up the EL Association to bring a new message to university students. This message is radically honest, entails stepping outside the comfort zone and creates a sense of belonging. After an amazing board year with the team, he biked from Rotterdam to Zurich to pursue his exchange. In Switzerland he set up the first international branch of Extraordinary Life. Niek is characterised by going against the grain, caring for improvement and discipline. Niek is back this year to lead our online Leadership Academy.
Participation in the course is free, however full participation will be required once you signed up and you are selected. (First session is mandatory).
You will see your trainer once a week, for 6 weeks. Besides the coaching session there is preparatory material that you will need to cover before hand.
We know that life happens. As long as you do not miss more than one training session and you deliver the final assignment, you will get one.
Small parts of some sessions might be recorded, or screenshots of the zoom calls might be taken for communication, education and/or marketing purposes.
Trainings are subject to change in format (online/offline) to adhere with the measures taken by the Dutch government and Erasmus University Rotterdam.
