Workshop: EU Skills & Leadership Power

 

About the course

This brand-new workshop is designed to boost both your understanding of the EU policy landscape and your ability to lead effectively in complex professional environments.

Working in EU affairs means more than knowing institutions – it’s about navigating pressure, building trust, and making your voice heard across cultures, power structures and shifting priorities.


This two-day course equips you with policy insights, leadership strategies and practical tools to grow your impact and confidence – even without formal authority.

 

What you will learn

Throughout the two days, we will address key challenges faced by professionals in EU-related roles, including:

  • Finding relevant information in a changing EU policy environment
  • Bringing structure and focus to your policy engagement
  • Handling challenging conversations with calm and confidence
  • Stepping into informal leadership roles
  • Charting your own EU career path with clarity
  • Staying grounded under pressure
  • Building relationships beyond transactional networking

You will leave with a set of methods and tools to help you structure your work, strengthen your leadership, and act with greater presence and confidence – even in fast-paced or uncertain settings.

 

Your trainers

The workshop is delivered by an experienced team of professionals combining EU policy expertise, coaching, and corporate leadership experience.
 

  • Lisa Simon – Coach for empathic leadership and healthy self-management
  • Christoph Katz – Former international executive with 25+ years in leadership
  • Vicky Marissen – EU policy expert, trainer and ETI managing director
  • Marianne Lamérand – ETI manager, PhD researcher and trainer

 

Bonus: Personal Coaching Session

To support your individual development, the course includes a 60-minute 1:1 coaching session after the training:

  • Choose between a leadership coaching session with Lisa Simon
  • Or an EU policy strategy session with our in-house experts 

The session is tailored to your personal goals and will be prepared using a short intake questionnaire.

 

Target audience

Professionals with 3–7 years of experience working in or around EU institutions – in consulting firms, public affairs departments, NGOs, think tanks or administration – who want to strengthen both their policy and (personal) leadership skills.
