What do the Programme’s sessions look like?
Session 1 – Discovery & Core Values: Your personal decision-making guide
In the Discovery part our first session together we discover what your goal is with respect to your leadership. What leadership dilemmas are you currently facing in your work (and personal life)? How would you like to respond to these?
In the second part, we unearth your Core Values. These are the essential ingredients in your life that sustain you – and that form the basis of your authentic leadership. You’ll be able to anchor yourself in your values: in what matters most to you. While maintaining a keen eye for your context, your values will become your personal decision-making guide in your leadership .
These steps of clarifying your goals for this programme, and discovering your authentic values are important steps towards clearing away any fog on your path and stepping into clarity.

You’ll also learn what the function of your inner critic is, what it’s trying to do for you.
You’ll discover what are more helpful, loving, and effective ways of motivating and moving yourself forward instead. These news ways of responding to your Inner Critic ensure that you’ll feel more freedom in both your professional and personal life.
Session 3 – Wisest Self: Putting your inner source of leadership central in your external leadership
Now that you can navigate your Inner Critic, space frees up to connect with your Wisest Self, your well of self-confidence, authority, and authenticity.

You’ll meet your Wisest Self through a special visualisation exercise. And you’ll uncover ways of fostering a loving relationship with her, growing more into her, and making this the core of your leadership.
