UPEACE Centre for Executive Education

I attended a 'Positive Leadership' course by the UPEACE Centre for Executive Education facilitated by Mohit Mukherjee. For 5 weeks, we dived into topics such as the PERMA model of well-being, Appreciative inquiry and Managing your Energy.

During this course, I was able to identify my Why and learn how to resolve workplace conflict in a psychologically safe way while getting to know amazing leaders all around the world.

I truly recommend this course to everyone looking to develop and strengthen the leader within.

In the middle of the pandemic, running a school and being an educational leader that believes in the importance of emotional education in schools, I found that this course led me to recognize my strengths, to discover my super powers that ultimately make me a better leader. I was so motivated and so enthusiastic with all the new things I learned, that I began multiplying it with my teachers and students. Making a recount of the first semester of this school year our team felt stronger applying Positive Leadership and Positive Psychology tools. We feel that thanks to this course we are becoming a better school, therefore having happier and more engaged students, that will always be our goal. By far it's one of the best leadership courses I’ve taken in a long time! I highly recommend it!

This experience came at a hectic time in my worklife. I wondered if I would have time for the course, but in the end it was the best gift I could give to myself in such crazy times. Mohit is an amazing instructor- helping reframe ideas, ask important questions, and make you think about how your work can make a positive impact in the world. It was the perfect course for me at the end of 2020 to make sense of my role and the bigger pircture. The best part was sharing space and thoughts with people from around the world!

Hi!

My name is Esmeralda and I have a Global Leadership Diploma from Centre for Executive Education within the University for Peace, Costa Rica.

This diploma offers a myriad of different courses that fit perfectly to people all around the world with differente backgrounds and jobs. You choose 5 courses do you want to be part in from a catalogue of more than 10 courses. It mixes on-site courses with fully online courses (I fully recommend to come to Costa Rica if you have the possibility). They are also a perfect fit for people that studies and work at the same time. The webinars are interactive and you get to know your classmates even from a virtual classroom.

The diploma helped me deepen my understanding of leadership and gave me new insights. I learned from a vast of topics, from fundraising and M&E to Happiness and life design. I would recommend the diploma to anyone.

This should be a require course for every human on the planet. 1) Its in Costa Rica on the beautiful campus of UPEACE... everyone needs to know about UPEACE! 2) The staff are super helpful, supportive, engaging, knowledgeable, and positive! 3) The course is dynamic, experiential, interactive, and full of useful tools that you can bring back home and implement into your work or personal life and 4) You get to interface with peers from around the world... my classmates were from the Dominican Republic, Holland, Argentina, Costa Rica, the USA and Australia! I highly recommend this course!
Useful tip: if you are coming to Costa Rica from out of the country, schedule some more time outside of the course. Chat with peers in your course from Costa Rica and ask them what you should do.... or see if they would be willing to take you places. Connect to the local culture, go on an adventure, learn about ngo's doing positive work for youth the environment. Practice your Spanish at a language school and begin implementing the tools you learned right away!
