South Africa
Transformative Leadership in Times of Complexity and Uncertainty
Online Course
Online Course
The programme provides a platform for individuals to respond to the complex challenges of our times, supporting leaders and organizations in exploring new ways to show up in the world in times of uncertainty. This program is specifically designed for organizations and corporations in Southern Africa.
About the Online Course
Thriving in an age of emergent, complex and interconnected challenges, requires a radical shift of mindset and behaviour. Change is and has always been driven by people. Especially leaders.
The current Coronavirus outbreak has pushed organizations, businesses and individuals into a state of fear and uncertainty. We are standing face to face with a global challenge and lock-down requiring leaders and organizations to act from a place of wisdom with a willingness to explore the unknown. This program supports and develops role models who can lead companies in dealing with these new challenges.
We provide a platform for both personal leadership development and deep relational building, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and how to face an uncertain future with purpose and intention.

Learning Outcomes of the Online Program
We have designed the program to focus on developing the abilities that are adapted to each individual's personal needs, relationships and context. We do not believe that we can know or define beforehand what each participant needs to learn or develop. We believe in facilitating a learning space where they have the environment needed to challenge their own assumptions/beliefs/biases, widen their perspective, and learn how to take advantage of the science of behaviour change.

Our Method
Our mission is to facilitate personal learning processes, not to "give the right answer" on any subject.
How do we facilitate learning spaces?
We create deep learning spaces through vulnerability and trust, building collaborative reflections in peer- to-peer settings.
How do we work with behaviour change?
We practice reflection and deep-learning. The participants develop their own coping-strategies to meet challenges in their professional and personal life.
How do we turn knowledge into action?
We have a highly pragmatic view on leadership. The program is designed to close the gap between knowing and doing, though an emphasis on practical and contextual learning.
How will you learn online?
The program offers a rich online learning experience which combines audio material, videos and live talks from our facilitators. Moreover, personal reflection exercises and structured group interaction serve as a backbone and support throughout the whole learning experience.
