LinKS Executive Coaching
As part of the LinKS@Wharton programs you are automatically linked to the LinKS Executive Coaching program. The Executive Coaching is to support, release and align the potential in top executives in order to realize challenges and visions that make a difference. LinKS Executive Coaching supports the LinKS network members to optimize their business performance through a trusted and ambitious dialogue.
LinKS Community
When you attend a LinKS executive program, you become a member of the LinKS Alumni Community – a link into the hundreds of leading executives. We are very careful about the values of this network and how we co-create collective value. We only meet when there is a great opportunity and we move the connections fast if you need to solve a challenge.
The member activity varies individually and within periods in your life. The membership is personal and follows you across organizations. The network is a natural part of the executive programs and LinKS projects in general. You will be involved according to your ambitions and wishes.
LinKS Reunions
LinKS Reunions are the occasions for gathering the LinKS Alumni community around real-time strategic agendas on global, political and business related shifts that are happening right now in the world. Together with specially invited guests from across the world, we work with our relation capital. The atmosphere is intimate; the number of participants limited; and the clue is that no participant leaves the reunion without being challenged on his or her mental model.
We meet in two kinds of settings:
- Local Reunions – Co-creation of new ambitious agendas
- Global Reunions – Global capacities emphasize different agendas
