Shaping Future Leaders

How Flexible Executive Education can support adaptive leadership and career progression - Insights from Executives & Leadership Experts

Join us for an exclusive leadership event co-hosted by FLA Leadership and CBS Executive Education/EMBA, exploring how ambitious professionals can shape their leadership trajectory through well-considered, flexible and career-relevant executive education.

The event brings together senior leaders, executive search specialists, alumni, and representatives from CBS to share authentic perspectives on leadership development and career decisions and leading in times of uncertainty and transition.

Rather than asking “Is an EMBA right for me?”, the discussion focuses on:

● When further executive education creates meaningful impact
● How different formats support leadership growth
● How to combine ambition, flexibility, and life priorities
● How education can act as a catalyst - not an interruption - of your career

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how flexible executive education can support the next career milestone while strengthening long-term leadership capability and organizational impact.

Why attend?
​For many leaders, the question is not whether to invest in further development - but how and when it creates real and relevant value. Through conversation and diverse viewpoints, this session explores:

● How to accelerate your career in a competitive and changing leadership landscape

● How executive education can complement experience with immediate applicability
● What executive teams and search professionals look for in future leaders
● How to balance timing, ambition, and leadership development in a flexible, stackable setup
● How peer learning and shared reflection support leadership progression over time.

The session also provides an indirect perspective on how to assess the quality and relevance of different executive education formats, helping participants reflect on what type of learning best fits their needs and ambitions.

Together, the program provides guidance on career decisions and leadership development, offering practical perspectives on how to navigate leadership ambitions with clarity and intention. It also explores how flexible executive education can act as a catalyst at different stages of a professional journey
