The Self-Leadership Skill Seminar is a hands-on, experiential module focusing on developing three core components of self-leadership: self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-regulation. This seminar complements and supports the personal internalization of self-leadership concepts and frameworks delivered in the Global Leadership course.

This seminar specifically addresses the following learning objectives:

1. Develop and exhibit self-awareness by analyzing personal values, emotions, and behavioral tendencies through self-reflection and feedback.
2. Demonstrate self-motivation by setting and achieving meaningful personal and professional goals, demonstrating persistence, and leveraging/maintaining intrinsic motivation.
3. Exercise self-regulation to improve performance and well-being by managing emotions, behaviors, and decision-making under pressure, aligning actions with long-term goals, ethical principles, and professional responsibilities.

Attendance at the Self-Leadership Skill Seminar is mandatory for all MIM students. Any exception to attendance must be justified (e.g., illness via a medical certificate). In such cases, the seminar must be completed at another CEMS school or, exceptionally, during the following academic year, subject to approval.

Assessment

The objective of this seminar is NOT to assess extant skills or abilities but to function as a generative platform for skill and ability development regarding self-leadership. Considering the course set up, we do 'assess' as pass/fail overall, in line with CEMS curriculum guidelines. The overall outcome is an aggregate of two components, each independently assessed as pass/fail. 

1. Class participation, pass/fail
2. Written document of assignments (reflection & self-leadership development plan), pass/fail

To pass the seminar overall, students must achieve a pass on both components. A fail on either component results in an overall fail for the seminar.
