Self-Leadership,
From origins to excellence

What makes us different
A major pedagogic innovation

The first elements of the Self-Leadership program appeared in 1995, while Jean-Yves Mercier wrote his PhD thesis. New pedagogies were developed In order to support autonomy, initiative and responsibility for managers.

For 13 years, they were refined through action. Then, in 2008, the students of the Geneva Executive MBA made a request. Faced with a changing world, they felt responsible for managing their own careers. And they didn't know how. The research means of the University came into play. Didactic video allowed an iteration of individual questioning and group coaching. The Self-Leadership program was born. It was since then continuously developed, for individuals as well as for companies.

Since then, more than 2'000 people have benefited from the Self-Leadership program with a 92% success rate.

Rechercher la difficulté, non pas le danger. Aller de l’avant, tenter, oser. Dans l’audace, il y a de l’enchantement. Self-Leadership est un voyage intérieur pour se tourner vers l’extérieur. Grâce à cette méthodologie stimulante, je me suis positionnée dans le respect de qui je suis et de ce dont mon entreprise avait besoin. Ce qui a permis l’ouverture de ma direction pour ma nouvelle fonction.

Ce parcours, structuré pour nous inspirer, m’a mené de "qui je suis ?" à "comment comprendre le reste ? », avec un accent final sur "où est-ce que je veux aller ensuite ?". Au cours de ce merveilleux voyage, vous comprendrez comment utiliser votre propre boussole pour ne pas vous perdre pour le reste de votre vie !

Self-Leadership m’a permis de me concentrer sur moi et d'identifier mes objectifs de vie. Chaque fois que je réalise que j’ai atteint l’un de ces objectifs, je ressens une joie et une confiance presque surréalistes. Face à un monde incertain, je sais que je peux compter sur la force de mes décisions.

Self-leadership fut une expérience de curiosité, de questionnement et d'authenticité. J'y ai appris que de maîtriser ma vie ne passe pas par le contrôle, mais par la remise en question régulière, l’intégration des changements de mon environnement et l'acceptation de mes limites du moment. Prendre conscience de moi comme de mon eco-système m'a permis d'affronter mon prochain challenge.

Laura, DRH dans les Travaux Publics, Suisse

Ce module de self leadership fut un voyage formidable dans les deux sens, aller et retour, L’aller avec soi-même et le retour accompagné par l'autrui. Ceci m’ a permis de revoir les choses d’autres cotés et de manière plus profonde. Je me trouve plus conscient du soi comme du soi par rapport aux autres. Et stimulé dans ma motivation pour me diriger afin de mieux diriger les autres.
