Join a group of your fellow INSEAD alumni to explore and develop how you navigate change in today’s fast paced and complex environment. This six-week journey of group coaching and guided reflection will bring you greater clarity and connection for embracing uncertainty with purpose and strength.

Developed by a team of INSEAD leadership coaches, Kate Philips-Kaiser (MBA 97J, CCC 10), Betina Rama (CCC 04), and Katherine Twaddell (ICC 18), this program brings together core academic research and their decades of experience coaching thousands of people around the world. The Navigating Change Reflection Circles include individual exercises and group discussions to help you explore how you are experiencing change, get curious about what is happening around you, and find your inner compass.

STEP 1
LOOKING IN

Deepen understanding of how you are experiencing change .

STEP 2
LOOKING OUT

Explore your context and identify your support system.

STEP 3
MOVING FORWARD

Navigate ahead with purpose and strength.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

Over six weeks, there are three modules to go through the three steps: Looking In, Looking Out and Moving Forward. Each module includes:

  • Self-paced guided reflection: A series of individual reflection exercises to complete online in your own time - 1 to 1 ½ h per step. Designed as a lively interactive chat, the exercises are engaging and introspective, providing useful concepts and research and guiding you through questions of discovery of yourself and your ecosystem, preparing you to connect with the group in a meaningful way.

    • PLUS

  • Group coaching sessions: A facilitated session to share and reflect with a small group (max 12) of fellow INSEAD alumni - 2h group session every two weeks over the six-week period. These sessions create an inspiring and supportive space to question, re-think and respond in new ways to your emerging challenges and opportunities. Benefiting from the rich diversity and shared experience, the perspective and energy from the group help you process your learning and turn insights into constructive actions.

You can join one of the upcoming Circles or contact us to create your own with your classmates (min 8 people).

What participants appreciate

  • The combination of preparatory self reflection and inquiry with the group discussion - that combination was SO useful, and really catalysed insight and new ideas in a way that either on their own would not have achieved.

  • I feel more inspired , reassured and confident about letting go of some of my original thoughts and goals to explore perhaps a different path.

  • The power of reflection. Writing ideas down, going through the exercises, and discussing the topics out loud, provided clarity and thoughtfulness to the change process we were going through.

  • The people - affirming to connect from people around the globe and to notice our commonalities. I appreciate onnecting with a great group of vibrant "strangers" all over the globe going through similar challenges and changes that I am.

  • The conversations I had with people in the small groups during the group sessions because it was nice to connect with others and their individual stories and opinions made it memorable.

  • The deep feeling of respect and commitment from everyone in the sessions. Genuine curiosity and invested feedback were the key ingredients for valuable takeaways in every interaction.

  • The entire process was useful. The online content provided a thought provoking and structured way to reflect and process what is going on in my life (externally and internally) and the group sessions were a very natural safe continuation of that process in a group setting.

  • I literally feel calm. I managed to release a negative part of my way of thinking and that I hope I can continue to maintain as time goes by.

  • With the help of the tools and questions in the program I feel I had the right tools to reflect on the changes in my life and how they impact me and the people around me. Also the interaction with the other participants during the debriefs was great to put my thoughts in perspective
