I strongly recommend this program for successful leaders who want to develop further the skills needed to perform their current responsibilities and aspire for greater responsibilities.

Experiential and intensive 3-Day Seminar

Organized by Progress-U Ltd. and Mena Maxson, facilitated by Sebastien Henry

Successful leaders, keen to learn, already self-aware to some degree, eager to enhance effectiveness with others.

Approach and Methodology        

We use many different approaches to help participants learn how to use their personal resources: their minds, their emotions and their bodies.

Our facilitators for this program, apart from extensive business experience, have had comprehensive training in Europe, the US and in Asia in:

• Academic psychology

• Gestalt (an approach focused on what can be learned from emotions and one’s body)

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

• Drama (theater)

• Corporate Coaching

Your Trainers

To attend to the unique needs of each participant, our two facilitators will work with a group limited to 12 persons. This means a ratio of one facilitator for 6 persons, which is truly unique.

Both facilitators are also executive coaches, working one-on-one with clients in positions like: Asia Pacific general managers, board members, general managers, country general managers, department heads, business owners etc.

	Attending this program was worthwhile because I can now understand myself better and identify my areas for development. An experienced facilitator has led the group to think deeply. The location was very inspiring.
	---------- Regional Director, SODEXHO

	I enjoyed it so much. This was truly a chance to be able to slow down from my busy daily pace and look at myself as well as through others’ eyes. I appreciated this opportunity as a true chance and a gift to be more conscious of myself.
