The Personal Leadership Honors Course is offered twice a year for students who want to be (more) in the lead of their own professional and personal lives. Taking the lead starts directly with the way the course is taught: you work based on your own development goals and you are responsible for the process to realize them. Naturally, there is a program that serves as the basis of the course and you will receive guidance from both the other participants and the trainer. Your commitment and openness determine how much you will learn. So, this is not a course in which you “just do some assignments”, but in which you are challenged to really look at yourself and may be even transform yourself!
In groups of around 15 participants, you will use the book “The 7 Habits of Effective Leadership” by Stephen R. Covey to investigate the way you approach life and how this becomes visible in your actions and behavior. What do you stand for? And do you act accordingly? How do you deal with yourself and how do you deal with others? And how do you let others interact with you? You will not only look at yourself (inward) but also at others (outward). For example, what can you learn from the people around you who inspire you?
The course is completed with a master plan, showing your development during the course and how you will continue with personal leadership after the course. Completion of the course is rewarded with the Honours Star Leadership.
The course can be somewhat confrontational and sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but above all it is very informative and enriching. It requires you to commit yourself, to take responsibility, to open yourself up to the material and to the perspectives of the other participants and to give and receive feedback. You will receive activating assignments and also contribute to interactive meetings in which inspiration, humor and creativity play a major role.
