11 April to 17 June 2022 (online training)

The EIB Institute is organising an exclusive online training programme for the SIT Alumni network on “Designing your leadership style” delivered by Kim van Niekerk, a top communication coach.

Kim has designed an online learning programme that is not a typical leadership course. This course will not tell you what good leadership looks like. It will not roll out a textbook on “how to be a good leader.” Instead, it is designed to help you experience what it is like being a transactional and transformational leader. It will help you explore who you are and your way of being. During the course, you will look at how your beliefs, body and emotions shape how you see your work, overcome challenges, unite teams and inspire the best in people.

The best part is that you will not be doing this alone. As a group of SIT Alumni, you will be reflecting, practising and supporting each other on your individual journeys and sharing group discussions about the cultures you want to create with your leadership.

This online training course will be delivered from 11 April to 17 June 2022 in 20 minute video tutorials and two 90 minute live online sessions, with 30 minute group coaching sessions every Wednesday to reflect on your efforts. This online commitment is 120 minutes in week 1, 120 minutes in week 8 and 30 minutes in weeks 2-7.
