I’m dealing with change differently, I’m far more patient with people who are reluctant or resistant to change. I’m not trying to convince them, but I spend time to understand them, to understand their fears. It really impacted me as a leader and as an individual.

You will not be the same person once you go out of the Executive Master in Change programme. It embodies the name: you actually change as a person. I can see those changes in my personal and professional life, it is a transformational program.
