An earlier poster said that the course is secret. Not so, the syllabus for the courses are easily available and and are quite detailed. They are based on the book by Julia Middleton ‘Leading Beyond Authority’. The course encourages the participants to spread their influence beyond the four walls of their individual departments that they work in. A lot of it is about networking. The confidential part is to do with what actually goes on in the courses with the participants. This makes sense as private issues will come up and problems in the work place will come up in discussions . Confidentiality is important so that the individual can speak openly and freely. You get this on any personal development course so it’s not unusual or sinister.
Julia Middleton is attempting to make what is done as a matter of course in society into a big new idea and making a lot of money out of it.
