Self-Leadership
Self-Leadership is a three-day module in the Global Leader program and can also be taken as a stand-alone program.
The unique Self-Leadership program is accessible to all who are interested in a three-day private 'mental spa'. The aim is to build long-term perspectives, success, and happiness in life and grow as a human being.
The program draws from cutting edge academic research on optimal human functioning and happiness, but it is decidedly non-instructional, aiming primarily at facilitating personally relevant openings in the thinking of the participants by the participants themselves as individuals.
4.5 ECTS credits can be transferred from the Self-Leadership program to the Aalto Executive MBA or Aalto MBA program.
Benefits
Participants are offered a unique, intimate, and safe environment to deep dive into their own thoughts and take further steps on a journey of self-leadership through storytelling.
For
The Self-Leadership program is designed for anyone who aspires to grow as a human being and even as a leader.
As the module utilizes a very specific teaching method, it is best suited to those who understand that instead of interactive lectures the focus will be on personal, internal dialogue and reflections, supported by storytelling.

Reflecting and applying the learnings
The Self-Leadership program provides a rare time and space to reflect on one’s own life, own values, and innermost personal aspirations without time pressure or immediate goals. Self-leadership is approached as a highly personal matter with potential for tremendous leverage.
The program will not be based on interaction between the instructor and the participants. The main focus will be on personal, internal dialogue and reflections – supported by lectures based on storytelling and short discussions with other participants.
The program contains a written pre-assignment and a take-home assignment. The program is worth 4.5 ECTS credits.
Instructor: Esa Saarinen, Professor, Aalto University
