Description
Leading Humans: mastering the soft skills that shape the future
In an age where technology amplifies everything except our ability to connect, this course is a space to slow down and invites a return to what makes us truly human: understanding and leading through human dynamics. Beyond Sciences Po, you might lead a team, a project, or a company… or at least, yourself, which is already a big job. In other words, you’ll be in charge of a few souls, hearts, and minds. Most challenges you’ll face won’t be about systems or strategy; they’ll be human ones, shaped by relationships, emotions, and the way we show up for others.
As a leader, how do you want to be remembered?
“Leading Humans” is designed as an experiential leadership lab, a real-time training ground for emotional intelligence in action. Through lectures, workshops, and live case studies drawn from business, tech, and entrepreneurship, we’ll unpack what it means to lead in today’s world, where vulnerability, care, hybrid work, and purpose redefine influence. By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a clearer inner compass, actionable tools, and a deeper understanding of how to lead with intention and humanity.
Prerequisites
None.
