Purposeful Leadership is a course tested by Paralympic coaches and space station personnel, designed to help you grow in your ability to lead in all areas of your life thanks to engaging lessons, exercises and daily quests.

As Leadership is such a critical skill that runs through every aspect of our lives, from planning a family holiday to running a multinational company people can lead in so many different situations in different ways. Because of this, the course aims to transform people's ability to lead using the skills and knowledge they have to lead to pursue purpose in any situation they're involved in even if the words CEO, director, or manager aren't in their title.

For the first time, this course draws together the fragmented fundamentals of effective leadership and gold standard approaches using a cutting edge model that unifies them to pursue success and satisfaction and elevate them above the sum of a disconnected set of separate leadership techniques.

Designed and delivered by Goldsmiths and 29k, this executive training course in Purposeful Leadership is a cutting-edge evolution in leadership development and psychology. It will supercharge your ability to lead and will take learning beyond the classroom by integrating activities that will imbue you with first-hand experience of using these skills in your life. Furthermore, you can dive deeper, test knowledge, and obtain certification from Goldsmith.

The content of the course has been created by Professor Frank Bond and Dr Jonathan Dowling from the Institute of Management Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. The course is based on a psychosocial model of human behaviour, successful living, and fulfilment called ALIVE ('Actively Living as an Individual Vitally Embodied'), created by Bond and Dowling in 2017. This model of how people can engage openly and adaptively in their lives to learn, develop skills, and pursue understanding and purpose has developed into a theoretically unified approach to leadership development known as Purposeful Leadership.
