Reach a higher level of leadership performance

 Developing your leadership capabilities is a lifelong journey. Since completing IMD’s High Performance Leadership and Inspirational Leadership program, changes have inevitably occurred in your professional and personal life, giving rise to new challenges and self-reflection. Advanced High Performance Leadership offers you a unique opportunity to spend five days in an Alpine village in Switzerland to reflect, refocus, and recharge.

After reconnecting with the key pillars of high-performance leadership and analyzing how you have embedded them into your work and life, you will define what you want to achieve during the week and develop a clear path to explore. The program’s experiential approach invites you to bring your own challenges to the table and participate in practical exercises guided by expert guest speakers. You will examine the role of emotions in leadership, how to bring to life the secure base leadership principles, and how to deal with conflict more skillfully. You will also tap into neuroscience and learn how to activate the right side of your brain to break through self-limiting patterns.

The program offers a highly interactive and immersive experience. You will engage in deep, meaningful connections within smaller groups, take part in guided meditation and reflective walks in nature, and have personalized one-on-one coaching to tackle specific issues that are holding you back. By the end of the week, you will have a clearer vision of how to continue your leadership journey and inspire the people you lead.

Reflect – Reset – Refocus

Refocus your mind’s eye on your renewed goals and ensure that you are playing to win rather than playing not to lose.

Explore the role of emotions in leadership

Engage in experiential exercises to understand the mind-body-heart connection. Experience how emotions manifest physically in leadership and explore how they influence the way you connect with others.

Practice secure base leadership

Bring the characteristics of secure base leadership alive through powerful exercises that will strengthen your ability to create a psychologically safe environment where your team can thrive.

Master negotiation skills

Bring your own experience of difficult conversations into the program and develop your negotiation and conflict resolution skills with expert guidance and feedback.

Continue the journey

Shape your leadership vision and leave with an action plan to guide your next steps. You will be empowered to fulfill your aspirations and help others achieve theirs.

You and your class

The program is designed exclusively for senior leaders who have completed IMD’s High Performance Leadership or Inspirational Leadership program. Your career now calls for even greater leadership performance, or you may be navigating a significant life transition. This is an opportunity to reconnect with your leadership core, reflect on unique challenges, and gain support and inspiration in a psychologically safe environment, surrounded by trusted peers.

Five years after attending High Performance Leadership, I was ready to push my boundaries again. Advanced High Performance Leadership dived deep into personal barriers and hidden assumptions, and showed me where I still had to move the needle. The program reminded us to always be mindful of our purpose and the only two things we can control – time and energy – and how to best invest these into our purpose.
