TRANSFORMATION
Are you ready to make a profound transformation in your life? Transformational Leadership Trail (TLT) is a 4-month program for those who are willing to stretch themselves to take the next step in their professional life, and who are willing to open-up and discover their blind spots to reach their true potential.
The Trail will enable you to establish new perspectives and will open a new path to your inner source of leadership and creativity, through the support of trained and experienced MMS facilitator/coaches.
ACCELERATE BY BEING YOU
The ABBY program is designed to prepare (future) leaders in your organisation for leadership challenges to come. The Abby program is designed to create awareness of personal strengths and learn how to leverage strengths through experiential workshops and real-life experiments. The program is centred around individual and group reflection in order to create a mindset shift and anchor new behaviours. We bring concepts like neuroscience and simple tools to help participants get out from their auto pilots to master new ways of working to breakthrough their leadership potential. After that we put this mindset shift in action make the shift. The Abby program is lead by senior facilitators with extensive business backgrounds in order to help participants learn from real life experiences parallel to the ABBY curriculum.
"First we make our habits, then our habits make us"
OBJECTIVE
We all come from different backgrounds and experiences with different values and passions. To become a great leader, you must rely on your own inner compass to guide you when nothing else can. Trusting your inner compass will inevitably guide you toward being the best that you can be. In this program you will explore the strengths of your leadership to find the mindset shift that will help you to become more impactful and effective in practical everyday situations and to realise your true leadership potential.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The participants in this program ideally have a minimum of 5 years working experience, are eager to master their personal leadership potential and are willing and open to self reflection, feedback and coaching by the facilitators and fellow participants.
"Abby helps you in identifying your hidden strengths and weaknesses. I was surprised to see students of our class, whom I have never seen opening up and revealing their personal aspects, were happily sharing their experience.
I never had an opportunity to receive candid feedback, until this Abby program came into the picture. I had lots of takeaways.
The content of this program uses learning by doing or experiencing, since you cannot expect to 'learn to swim from a book and then be able to thrive when thrown in the ocean', I would highly recommend this program to be included every year in TIAS MBA curriculum."
