What will you learn?

You will learn by doing within an immersive business simulation, led by professional actors, where you explore your motivations, strengths and blind spots. We work within 3 dimensions: 

  1. Authenticity: your unique set of qualities 
    You will learn how to bring forward your authentic business self and use it to make a strong impact on others, and ultimately forge agreements. 
  2. Empathy: connecting to others
    You incorporate a 'listen first' approach to effective individual and group communication. You also learn how to connect and respond to management and client priorities while maintaining the power of your authentic self. 
  3. Collaboration: achieving results
    You will discover techniques that help you collaborate under pressure, and seize opportunities during meetings.

Your course begins with a 30 minute 1-on-1 online session to define a personal baseline and extract your unique learning goals. After the masterclass, we plan a second 1-on-1 online session to review your personal process and convert your learning into individualised advice and actions.
