Leadership Program - Mastermind for a Sustainable Tomorrow

  • In a Mastermind group, the group takes on cross-cutting challenges together and creates results that could have not been achieved on their own. It is based on the idea that when two people come together and collaborate, a third participant, the mastermind, emerges, creating insights that the individuals do not have access to.

  • The program is aimed at those who are leaders in an organization in the private or public sector and who have the courage to create change beyond the expected together with other leaders with different backgrounds and experiences.

  • You will grow in your leadership by applying the new Inner Development Goals (IDGs) framework, which is a catalyst and prerequisite for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • What do I get out of participating?
    – You will be supported in the process of developing as an individual and leader, as well as in your professional role. You work on your professional challenges and the group assists you in finding new solutions, paths and perspectives.
    – You also have access to personal coaching from your facilitator between meetings if you wish.
    – You will be helped to develop an action plan for your leadership to take on at the end of the Mastermind program.
