 The aim of inclusive leadership is to create, change and innovate
whilst balancing everybody’s needs.

Inclusive leaders embody a leadership approach that appreciates diversity, invites and welcomes everyone’s individual contribution, and encourages full engagement with the processes of decision-making and shaping reality. In this course we invite you to challenge your own leadership-approach.

You will learn what we understand by inclusive leadership and you have an opportunity to explore, what it means in your own Environment

Target Group

With this course we reach out to School-directors and teachers / trainers, who are leading small or big teams within the school, university or any pedagogic context.

Approach

The 5-day-training offers the opportunity to look at your own leadership approach. You will be involved in personal and group experiences, based above all on the experiential learning and reflective practice methodological approaches. Additionally you learn different tools, which give you the opportunity to dig deep in your leadership behavior and give you the chance to reflect on your work. The course consists of a mix of short theoretical inputs, concrete exercises, group discussions and individual reflection moments.

In the IL Classic we will look into the details of the concept of Inclusive Leadership, the 5 pillows and the 4 development areas and will put a specific focus on creating an inclusive school.

In the Inclusive Leadership Deepening we will only touch the concept as a reminder and then explore deeper how you can become an inclusive Leader. In Saubdia we will use the outdoor – beach and nature – to delve into your personal leadership journey.

Each of the courses stand alone, but can support each other.

The course has been inspired by the work of Howard Gardner, Daniel Goleman, Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn, Otto Scharmer and Frederik Laloux.

Testimonials

I was at that time in a period of intense search for anew path for my professional life and my mind was full of ideas, thoughts, plans … but I couldn’t decide for one or another. The days in Malta, at the Authentic and inclusive leadership seminar, thoughts me two important lessons:

  • when in panic and not knowing what to chose and what to do first, I need to break, stay quiet, reflect for 5 minutes or one day, and afterwards there is more clarity and order and my brain, my soul do the work almost alone! 🙂
  • how much we can learn just being among people who are courageous to share their stories and struggles, and who are ready to change along a common attempt.
