Please join us at Rotterdam School of Management for an
upcoming seminar to give you an opportunity to see leadership from a unique perspective, help you see things that other people don’t see, and challenge the stereotypes that many have about leadership today.

Good or bad leadership can depend on one’s personal perspective; however, examples of leadership that have endured and prospered are the one’s most sought after. To achieve the same we are wise to study what those forms of leaderships were all about. To delve into the principles of natural and effective leadership we must first seek out where effective leadership manifests itself naturally.

What many do not know is that precisely this – highly effective and natural leadership – also exist outside the human world. Many species have, like humans, their own culture and specific society in which leadership plays an important role in the quest for survival.

For millions of years, one of the most successful and flourishing societies of all has been that of the equine society. By studying this utterly pure and very effective way of Equine leadership we can easily grasp the basics and applies what fits to our own. In this seminar we will compare and contrast human leadership with the basics principles derived from the study of equine behavior.

In this seminar about leadership you are offered the opportunity:

- to develop your leadership insights
- to see a bigger picture in a new persepective
- to understand key elements of “natural” leadership
- to look at great leaders in a new context

and to explore a unique perspective of leadership.

The seminar will offer you the opportunity to analyse and understand those who fall under your responsibility and peel away the surface of every day insufficiency. The basics which are unfolded in this seminar have become the foundation of many successful leaders, who in turn have enlightened and enabled their followers.

“Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Wondering what that horrible noise is outside your window?

It’s merely the ghost of Peter Stuyvesant,  the last governor of New Amsterdam. He’s not alone. As Halloween approaches, dozens of historic spirits and ghouls will be popping up in the strangest places and Lisa Lipkin wants to tell you all about it.

For over 20 years, Ms. Lipkin worked as a professional storyteller, bringing New York’s rich history to life before starting Story Strategies (Storystrategies.net), a consultancy that helps organizations find and tell their core stories.

One of her favorite shows, Ghosts on the Hudson, explores the historic Dutch ghosts which continue to haunt New York today. Join her as she regales you with some deliciously scary tales. Not for the faint-hearted.

If you have a ghost story to share, bring it along! Participation is welcome.

Venue details to be confirmed – please register with the above link and I’ll send you the latest update when I return from abroad.
