Develop your personal leadership

One of the components of the track is the development of personal leadership. Together with a TIAS coach, you evaluate the knowledge and insights you have gained. You also discuss what this means for your personal development and how these new insights affect your organization. For this part, you can choose from the following:

• Personal coaching (individual, 3 sessions)
• Master class Personal Leadership (group, 2 days)

Final paper: apply your new knowledge in your own organization

At the end of the program you will write a final paper under personal supervision in which you connect the core elements of the program with your daily work. By working on a current issue from your own practice, you immediately apply the newly acquired knowledge and skills in your organization. Formulating the problem and visualizing it through a process of exploration, diagnosis and an initial literature study is central to this. To prepare yourself properly, you will follow the one-day Problem Analysis module during the program.
