Self-Leadership,
From origins to excellence

Our difference

A major educational innovation

The first foundations of the Self-Leadership program appeared in 1995, during Jean-Yves Mercier's doctorate. To develop the autonomy, initiative and responsibility of managers, new pedagogical postulates are being put forward. For 13 years, they will be validated by action.

Then, in 2008, the students of the MBA working at HEC Genève applied. Faced with a changing world, they become responsible for managing their careers themselves. And they don't know how. The research power of the University comes into play. The instructional video allows an iteration of individual questions and group coaching. The Self-Leadership program was born. Managers then ask to use the method in their company.

Since then, more than 2,000 people have benefited from it with a success rate of 92%.

An experiential journey to identify its founding dimensions step by step

- Alternating between individual reflection - guided by e-learning - and collective coaching.
- Confrontation of its multiple personal dimensions to identify coherence and paradoxes.
- Constant interaction between personal aspirations and professional realities.
- Affirmation of its potential by visualizing scenarios suitable for exploiting it.

Look for difficulty, not danger. To move forward, to try, to dare. In audacity, there is delight. Self-Leadership is an inner journey to turn to the outside. Thanks to this stimulating methodology, I positioned myself in a way that respected who I am and what my business needed. This allowed me to open up my management for my new function.

Marielle, Home Care Manager, Switzerland

This journey, structured to inspire us, led me from “who am I?” to “how to understand the rest? ”, with a final focus on “where do I want to go next?” On this wonderful journey, you'll understand how to use your own compass so you don't get lost for the rest of your life!

Javier, Financial Risk Manager, Switzerland

Self-Leadership is a growth experience, but also a unique and safe place to share doubts. I was able to put my professional intentions into words and imagine the routes to take thanks to concrete tools, the support of a group, and a structured framework. With this better knowledge of myself, I was not afraid to take on a new professional challenge. And above all, I learned to learn in order to continue anchoring future experiences!

Diane, HR director in the field of Education, Switzerland

Self-Leadership allowed me to focus on myself and identify my life goals. Every time I realize that I've achieved one of these goals, I feel almost surreal joy and confidence. Faced with an uncertain world, I know that I can count on the strength of my decisions.

Ash, Researcher and Entrepreneur, USA

Self-leadership was an experience of curiosity, questioning, and authenticity. There I learned that controlling my life does not require control, but through regular questioning, integrating changes in my environment and accepting my current limitations. Becoming aware of myself and my ecosystem allowed me to face my next challenge.

Laura, HR Director in Public Works, Switzerland

This self-leadership module was a great journey in both directions, back and forth, Going with yourself and returning accompanied by others. This allowed me to review things from other sides and in a more profound way. I find myself more aware of myself as well as of the self in relation to others. And stimulated in my motivation to lead myself in order to better lead others.
