This will be tailored to the specific leadership development needs and goals and around broad topics of relevance both for his/her work and for the organisation’s values and

• A facilitated time for reflection and exchange on the insights gained from these experiences: Awe, irritation, inspiration, embarrassment – dilemmas, questions, challenges of values, ethics, culture … This phase is preceded by own or e-based group work on relevant selected material of different sources (philosophy, history, politics, drama, arts)
