Vulnerability is a Strength
“Accept yourself as you are,” says EMC 2019 alumna Jane who founded her own company in the middle of her professional career.
"Contrary of what you might believe, you can actually build confidence in others when you are strong enough to admit that you do not have all the answers," she says.
Our Faculty
Our goal is to develop scholar-practitioners, with ‘night vision’ and a deeper understanding of what goes on below the surface in themselves and others, in order to be more effective in their roles."
Professor Erik Van de Loo, Programme Director
We live in a fast-moving and ever-changing world where we cannot always choose our destiny. But how we respond, calming the mind and developing the capacity to think rather than just act, will certainly help oneself and others.
Professor Michael Jarrett, Programme Director
Developing the capacity to remain active and effective in the whirl of daily life requires the paradoxical ability to observe ourselves from an external perspective. One of the goals of the programme is to foster the development of both perspectives – in the game and on ‘the balcony’ at the same time.
Professor Michael Shiel, Programme Director
By exploring system psychodynamics through a variety of conceptual and experiential methods and practical application, the EMC helps leaders to refine their understanding and handling of challenging business situations. Ultimately, the resulting shift in awareness and the ability to work with human and system complexity, helps leaders to drive purpose and business.
Professor Saskia de Maat, Programme Director

FAQs
Is this a coaching programme?
No, it is a programme on change, designed when coaching was an orientation rather than an industry. As such there is no coaching qualification offered following this programme. But it equips coaches with valuable skills to use with individuals in organisations.
What does the Master's thesis comprise? Do we get help with the Master's thesis?
The maximum length of the thesis is 50 pages of double-spaced text. The deadline is 4 months after the end of the final module. We will support you with workshops on research and writing methodologies and one-to-one sessions with an expert thesis tutor.
