Practice-oriented and real-world based.
Organised in small groups of up to 16 people, this short programme is highly practical and interactive, focusing on the real-life experiences of participants who acquire the necessary frameworks to formalise their approach to people management.
Personal development through self-reflection and peer-to-peer coaching.
The programme offers a personal development plan, helping leaders understand, develop and adjust their posture in their three roles. By doing so, our participants increase their impact on their team, and through them on their results and organisation.

What our participants say
Lionel Dieu
Fund Manager
EDFI Management Company
I‘ve picked the programme in People Leadership to have a little bit more of a theoretical background and to get the keys and concepts on how to lead, motivate and coach colleagues and people who are part of my team so we can reach common goals together.
Claire Bernard
Head of Talent Acquisition
Akkodis
What I found super interesting in the People Leadership Programme is that it's a perfectly balanced mix between theory and concepts and also practical cases and knowledge and experience sharing. I, of course, like, the fact that both trainers come from the private/public world, which makes it for me more interesting and relevant. Also, the rhythm of the education is adapted to professional life.
