STRALA LEADERSHIP SEMINARS will strengthen your leadership skills. They are taking place along the year across The Netherlands. For everyone engaged in Science & Technology!

Leadership is everywhere: whether you are leading a team or an organisation or leading your own PhD study or leading your career to take the next step or leading a discussion. Leadership is a role and not a function. It is about knowing who you are and inspire others!

Stralia Leadership Seminars will strengthen your leadership skills. Each seminar focuses on a specific leadership aspect. The themes include: discover and understand your leadership style, put your talents into practice, forming strong teams, coaching and mentoring skills, engaging others and creating an impact, empathic leadership, inclusivity and equity, cultural intelligence. And many more. If you have a theme that you would like to include, please feel free to indicate it to us.

I participated to one of the Stralia’s seminars. I experienced deep emotional moments.
— Emmanouil Archontakis | PhD student at Technical University Eindhoven

The seminars are taking place along the year across The Netherlands. Each time we are at a different location and at a different organisation where one of the participants is hosting us. We provide a standard seminar programme, including a coaching walk. We end the programme with drinks, networking, and a dinner in the neighbourhood. You can join when best suits own agenda, location or seminar theme.

The atmosphere is informal, safe, and welcoming. Everyone participates as best suits own drive. You don’t need to join all the seminars; the programme is self-standing. We share own stories, we connect with each other, and we broaden our network. We reflect together!

WHAT IS YOUR FORMULA TO BE THE LEADER YOU WANT TO BE?


The Stralia leadership seminar made me reflect on how the impact I want to have/think I have is perceived by my colleagues. I’m looking forward to the next Leadership seminars.

You can manage a long way using all the clever tips and tricks and with the aid of the powers granted to you. You can only lead because others think “you” are the leader.
— Joeri Voets | Management Consultancy at Detron

I believe learning is a unique experience and not a standard process. My trainings and workshops are very vivid, interactive and intense: a true discovery for thinkers.

Enlight, Engage, Empower!
