Time to get your hands dirty. This training, held in the great outdoors, puts you face to face with the effects of your own, natural leadership style. The exercises are geared towards you as a leader, but often also put you in the role of one of your employees or an observer. This gives you a clear view of the effects of different types of leadership. Above all, you get to know yourself up close.

The following subjects are covered:

• The pros and cons of your style of leadership 
• Communication skills that every leader needs to have 
• A crash course on the theory behind effective leadership behaviour 
• Giving effective feedback about behaviour 
• Various styles of leadership

Many of the hands-on exercises are done in the open air. For each assignment (for example, building a jungle bridge), we assign one person to be the leader. He or she calls the shots on how to complete the assignment. When faced with unfamiliar conditions, you often resort to old, trusted patterns of behaviour. You’ll receive personal feedback linked to your learning goals, the theory and your own practical situation.

New Heroes

During this training you get access to the online platform New Heroes. You will get to work actively with some assignments from the New Heroes learning trips. You can also continue to work on your own personal strength, communication and leadership skills on your own initiative. Everything at your own pace, wherever and whenever you want.

Start and end measurement

This course improves your skills. We can guarantee that. How? Before you start your course, you take a scan. This determines your starting level and helps set the right goals. You receive a personal report. That way, you know exactly where you stand, what you want to accomplish, and how to get there. Your trainer helps you to focus and develop, in order to reach your full potential. After your training is done, you take another scan. This end measurement shows how much you’ve grown, and where you can still develop your skills further.
