Tomorrow’s Leaders
1st May 2015 - 31st December 2016

You are invited to be part of a ground-breaking short, intensive learning retreat for senior managers who are passionate about becoming Tomorrow’s Leaders.

New leaders for a sustainable future are people who can use emotional intelligence skills to identify creative, sustainable solutions to business challenges.

They will know how to access the full potential of their inherent creative powers to inspire others to greater achievements.They will be people who truly understand themselves and in turn understand others better.

Sustainable leadership means intuitively understanding what ‘sustainability’ really means, and how and why it is synonymous with real profitability.

This learning retreat is organised by David Dowse, Mike Ponding and Kelvin Heard and hosted by Sharon Jackson at The European Sustainability Academy (ESA).

To ensure a high level of experiential and individual learning for every participant, numbers are limited to not more than 25 per retreat.
