About the course
As Leadership is such a critical skill that runs through every aspect of our lives, from planning a family holiday to running a multinational company people can lead in so many different situations in different ways.
Because of this, the course aims to transform people's ability to lead using the skills and knowledge they have to lead to pursue purpose in any situation they're involved in even if the words CEO, director, or manager aren't in their title.
For the first time, this course draws together the fragmented fundamentals of effective leadership and gold standard approaches using a cutting edge model that unifies them to pursue success and satisfaction and elevate them above the sum of a disconnected set of separate leadership techniques.
Purposeful Leadership is based upon a psychosocial model of human behaviour, successful living, and fulfillment called ALIVE.
It involves three, inseparable actions that allow people to make sense of and use their situation for the purpose of pursuing success and fulfillment, by
- Understanding your current situation
- Discovering what actions are worth undertaking
- Committing to taking them
What will I learn?
This course empowers you to become a more Purposeful Leader. By drawing on the latest research in leadership and Psychology, you'll learn how to create a deep sense of meaning, for yourself, and the people around you.
The course comprises of 8 weekly lessons, exercises and daily quests to supercharge your learning. Each week, you'll grow in your ability to lead, thanks to engaging lessons, exercises and daily quests for reinforced learning.
