You will meet your instructor and establish a comfortable group. You will reflect on own strengths, weaknesses, values and personality traits.
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?
You will learn different leadership styles, how to motivate individuals in your team and how to set goals with them. We will discuss coaching and accountability.
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.
Who is this course for?
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
We believe that to become a better leader, you need to learn how to lead yourself first.
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.
