You may find yourself in one of many different situations while you are reading these lines. 

You may have been just promoted into a challenging post;
You may have to decide your professional future. You should choose what do you want to do but you don't know yet...
You would like to know more about your identity: What is your learning style, your leadership style in order to manage your professional future.

Or in absence of all of these factors, you may be at a point in your life when you want to stop and think about where you are and what you want.

If you fit any of these descriptions, we welcome you to this subject and your personal journey of discovery.

The final question that this subject wants to answer is: "How is possible to lead people if you don't lead yourself?"

The focus of this subject is not a workload distribution. The more that you know about yourself the more that you are self-awareness about your leadership. However it requires an important commitment to discover things about yourself which are going to be very useful in you leadership.
This subject isn't about general leadership, is about your personal leadership. The way to discover this information is about dynamics, exercises and test. The professor will be a facilitator in this process.
You should deliver 2 assignments in the program: Your personal vision and your learning agenda.

This Development Program is an accompanied process of self-awareness and development aimed at improving the effectiveness.

- Personal self-leadership. We believe true leadership begins with self-awareness. Each person can become aware of who they are, discover their purpose in life, and channel this within the EMBA career paths.
- We believe in a holistic approach to the individual. Everything is connected and we cannot consider a person isolated in a single professional or personal dimension.
- We believe in action as an engine of change. We believe that the development of a personal vision is the starting point for making decisions and generating change.

1. Discover a sense of purpose and connect with those key personal motivations related with a sense of identity. This is how we help generate real leaders who make decisions based on their values.
What do I really want to do?

2. Discover the personal talents that are connected with the interests and abilities of each individual and make them unique by contributing to the creation of a ?personal brand'.
What skills do I have?

3. Connect personal motivations and talent with a real project that takes form through a change agenda - which connects with professional alternatives that may exist in the market or can be generated by the participant.
What's am I going to do?

1. My purpose: My personal and professional vision This part focuses on the consistency between what we do and who we are on questions such as: knowledge of personal values; interests that move us; the best version of ourselves; and what gives meaning to what we do in a personal and practical reflection that will help clarify ideas and connect with the essence of our personality. This connection will take shape through a personal vision.

2. My talent: What are my competencies and learning and leadership styles? This part will explore what Ken Robinson calls `the element¿ ¿ meaning something in which we are exceptional and love to do. We can discover or re-discover this element and from here we will build our personal project. Our personal brand value and uniqueness is connected with the best of ourselves. In this part we work on our personal skills and our way of learning and leadership ¿ and make a link with our sense of purpose.

3. My project: What is my learning agenda? What am I going to do? The learning agenda will be the `bridge¿ to link our purpose and our talent with real professional opportunities. Using a guided methodology we give guidelines for the development of an agenda that commits us to start something, or stop doing something, or do something we are already doing very well with even more success.

We use 3 systems for this subject:

1. Lecturer sessions to Consolidate and explain
2. Practical classes to Share and experience the contents
3. Electronic Platform Reflect your conclusions and advanced in your personal awareness. In this platform the participant can do all exercises, assessment and can follow his/her own improvement and development in the program.
