Our window of opportunity to achieve the 2030 Agenda is closing fast and there is an increased need for people who can mobilise and influence others towards achieving common goals.  Your ability to collaborate and influence sets you, and those who work with you, apart.

During this 4-week course, composed of eight 90-minute virtual workshops and 4 practice labs, you will learn new practices that will motivate, focus and equip you and those around you to create shared Direction, Align people & resources and achieve high commitment. 

This highly rated course has been running for 5 years face to face. As circumstances have changed, we have adapted this course into a fully virtual yet deeply collaborative learning experience meaning you can now participate from anywhere in the world! The most recent virtual edition was given an overall 5 out of 5 rating by participants.

After completing the course, previous virtual #LIMPACT participants experienced on average a 40% improvement on the course learning areas in influence capability and knowledge compared to pre-course measurements. You will emerge from this experience better equipped to help yourself and the people you work with get results and achieve meaningful impact.  

What do we offer? 

Our blended learning approach means that you will actively participate in expert-led virtual workshops twice a week and take advantage of both self-paced and social learning opportunities. 

Sessions are participative, engaging and applied, leveraging expert insight with learning with and from a diverse group of talented peers. Action-learning design is used so you will directly apply practices and give and receive feedback from peers on your own and others’ leadership challenges. You will practice influence and leading, starting from where you are today and advancing tangibly throughout the learning journey.
