Day 1 – Morning Session: Master Life-Leadership and live a Harmonious Life
Leadership is key to organizations, yet when it comes to leadership of our own lives, we tend to be less focused. To accomplish your goals and live a harmonious life – you need to understand the building blocks of your life-foundation. When in place, anything on top of it will find solid ground for growth. Participants are known to find huge immediate benefits in this knowledge as applied to their daily lives.
By life-leadership, we refer to taking leadership of your own life and not self-management as an alternative to leadership by a superior. We guide you to a deeper understanding of your core values, to live in accordance with values, translate intentions into action, make lasting change actions, increase your sense of self-worth and much more.
Ultimately, life-leadership will make you a more socially generous, likable, trustworthy, and harmonious person for the benefit of yourself and the people around you.

Day 1 – Afternoon: Collaborate Across Departments, Functions, and Professions
Collaborating with people of other professions, from other teams, departments, functions, or units is a challenge. Yet, when you understand the different dominant logics that are accumulated over time through action, education, and experience, then you realize, how it is possible to view multiple perspectives simultaneously and gather the best from all views to unite actionable strategies, innovations, and doings.
Understanding the barriers to collaboration is a powerful tool for increasing collaboration, knowledge sharing, innovation and work satisfaction across your organization.

Day 2 – Create Collaborative Advantage through Valuable Partnerships
By building Collaborative Advantage and new partnerships you achieve a new level of success by bringing the outside world value into your organization.
Traditional ‘competitive’, rather than collaborative – models of business influence our thinking on strategy and hold us back.
On this second day of the course, we dive more deeply into the idea of Collaborative Advantage: why it is a better goal for business; how is it be created; and what does it enable you to achieve in practice. We will clarify the connection between vision, mission, brand identity, brand agenda, and purpose. You will understand and learn to apply the Outside-In-framework to increase business value by involving all stakeholders inside and outside the business in maximizing Collaborative Advantage in pursuit of a common purpose. Moreover, you’ll get a chance to relate the concept to your own work and to get a clear picture of the steps forward for you.
