Greetings from the Program Instructor
In the last four years, we’ve successfully run the Hungarian version of this program with our partner, Business Coach Ltd. Over 300 professionals, including managers, HR specialists, and coaches, have honed their coaching skills. Many pursued ICF accreditation to access global markets. We’re now expanding internationally and welcome participants from around the world.
Participant experiences emphasize a shared interest in values like sustainability, inclusion, and partnership within organizations. Collaborating with scholars, coaches, consultants, and students, including executives, HR professionals, and coaches, offers a great opportunity to embrace these values. We look forward to meeting you in person at our 2.5-day kick-off program!
