Are you ready to take that next step, reflect on your leadership style and be inspired to set stretch goals?

Come join us in a magical setting on the UPEACE Campus.  Experience connection, co-creation, learning, renewal, and global networking with a team of international facilitators and fellow international participants.

This seminar focuses on a human paradigm of leadership: the ability to connect with people you work with, to see how things look from their perspective, to engage and motivate them while appealing to their strengths and passions.

Who should take this course?

Positive Leadership is purposefully designed to be applicable at all ages and career levels, and across a variety of fields. Participants often share some of the following characteristics:

o A desire to change, grow, or re-establish passion for their career
o A deep drive to push personal boundaries and give back to the community/world
o The need to connect with like-minded individuals and broaden their already global mindset
o Professionals in fast-growing career fields who want to stay ahead of the curve

Today's “positive” leader is able to unleash the potential of each individual in the organization.

In this course we touch on the topic of ‘starting with the why.’ As an appetizer, check out this powerful TED Talk by Simon Sinek, which introduces a model of inspirational leadership by looking at Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers.

During the course we analyze our own scores and develop our own how/why/what through the workshop process.
