2022 Online Growth & Development Academy
Are you brave enough to become the next JCI leader?
Join the Online Growth & Development Academy to learn more about yourself and how to overcome the challenges of your personality in order to be able to help your team grow and shape the future of JCI and the world.

How can I become a leader for a changing world?
We are living in a rapidly changing world which means that the definition of leader is constantly evolving. If you want to be a good leader you need to start by being curious. Be curious about yourself and your reactions, be curious about what makes other people tick, be curious about the ways the world works, be curious about failing and learning from mistakes. Go out of your comfort zone and try something new!
Only then can you start shaping the leaders of tomorrow and helping everyone around you grow.
How will the OGDA help me in my journey as a leader?
- Identity | 05.10.2023 – Learn more about yourself and answer questions like: Who am I as a person? Who am I as a leader? How do I want to be perceived by others? What are my values? What is my vision?
- Roadblocks | 12.10.2023 – Learn how to adapt to the always changing world and see roadblocks as challenges that help you grow. How to change my perspective? How to be more responsible? How to believe in myself and find motivation within? Am I brave enough?
- Growth | 19.10.2023 – What does it mean to have a “Growth Mindset”? How to ask for help? How to be vulnerable? How to trust others?
- Development | 26.10.2023 – You are now ready to take on the role as a leader and help others on their own journey of self-exploration. Time to look into the future and learn how to give up control, how to lift people up and build sustainable organizations.
