Curriculum

Feeling stuck in your leadership style? Struggling to connect with your team? Ready to flex your creative muscles?

It’s time to rethink your mindset. Leading with a more open, spontaneous, and agile approach can make all the difference — in how you meet challenges, respond to uncertainty, and inspire others.

The thoughtfully-designed curriculum is drawn from two highly-popular Stanford MBA electives, and is taught by the same faculty. It’s academically rigorous, highly participatory, and fun (yes, fun!).

Designed for high impact in a short amount of time, this eight-session program is the ultimate in learning by doing. Through faculty-led lectures and hands-on interactive exercises, you’ll actively practice what you learn in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
