The programme includes three study modules. You can choose to study only one model or all three of them, depending on your needs.

The first module teaches you how to lead yourself through managing your brain health and motivation; the second module focuses on building and leading motivated and high-performing teams; and the third one reflex on how to lead sustainably in a complex and uncertain world. More information on each module can be found further below.

The programme is itself pedagogically advanced. We are combining TAMK's expertise in team coaching and individual learning – two things we are known by both our local and global partners.

We meet on average once or twice a month for interactive lectures and collaborative learning sessions. The meetings are on Fridays from 12 to 18 and on Saturdays from 10 to 16 at TAMK (Kuntokatu 3, Tampere).

The programme also includes authentic learning activities and practice with participants’ own cases and situations. Individual and group coaching supports your learning progress through the programme.

Each participant will collect their main learning points in “My Leadership Handbook”, to be used later in their own contexts. 
&nbsp;

The programme will also be available in Finnish soon.
