About this course

What do you think of when you hear these names: Angela Merkel, Malala Yousafzai, Indira Gandhi, Catherine the Great, Mother Teresa? Personally, such words as "strong", "unshakable", "inspiring", "leader" immediately come to my mind.


But who are women leaders?
How are they different from ordinary people?
And most importantly, can you become one?

First of all, leadership means a style of thinking that helps to see opportunities in places where no one is looking for them. The leader is confident and powerful. These qualities help them bring people together and effectively manage them to make a big idea a reality. Anyone can develop leadership qualities. Modern research confirms that 70% of leadership skills are formed based on experience, not heredity. In other words, leaders are not born, but made. And most importantly, what can you do to become one? The desire and readiness to develop and grow are key success factors for novice leaders. Such willingness is manifested in the desire of a person to define themselves as a leader. Do you have this resolve? Then our course will help you with the rest!

You will find out what leadership is like today, explore leadership styles and get tips for developing one of your own. You will see how to fight off the fear of risk, study role models and mentoring. We will provide you with a guide on building self-confidence. Moreover, you will understand the importance of education for leaders, and how to start planning your career.
