In this Course
This course consists of an introductory session as well as 10 “deep-dive” sessions that each look at a specific leadership competency. X-Change groups meet between weekly and monthly for 1,5 hours per session. The course was designed alongside Xpand, a development consultancy.
Each session consists of two videos – one looks at the theory behind the competency, and a second video that is presented by a marketplace leader that has successfully developed that specific competency. Participants receive a workbook and work through the sessions in small groups that is led by a facilitator. In these sessions the most valuable insights come from the peer-learning that happens between participants.
