We believe that, especially in managing and leadership, the personal side is just as important as the factual side! This is why we offer modules such as ‘Personal Development’ in our Executive MBA – Global programme: to ensure that Henley graduates also know how to learn from themselves and how to take care of their teams.
There are lots of benefits to profit from when you decide to do your PCEC at Henley. It is not only a triple-accredited training but also you will automatically become an alumnus of Henley after successfully finishing your PCEC, which will grant you access to free (or heavily discounted) webinars, seminars and further training.
Not only is Henley Business School constantly monitored by the British QAA, we also hold the 'Triple Crown' accreditation, giving us the honour of being amongst only few other top universities in the world. Ranking lists that focus on the students' opinions also list Henley Business School under the top 30 in Europe on a regular basis!
Being a Henley Executive MBA student bears numerous advantages and possibilities. On the one hand, you are being treated at eye level, resulting in a constantly evolving teaching approach based on feedback from the students. On the other hand, you always have full access to the Henley experts who will do their best to support you – even outside of the workshops.
When studying for the Henley Executive MBA - Global, you are not alone – on the contrary! Starting from the learning groups in which all kinds of academical and private topics can be discussed to the international workshops where experiences from different countries come together to the alumni network of almost 80,000 graduates, you will always find a helping hand.
Andreas, Anna, Reinhard and Imeyen are only four of countless (PCEC) students for whom the time spent at Henley Business School was more than just studying. Their newly gathered experiences changed them as persons, opening up new possibilities in their careers and lives and influencing even more people!
We have taken advantage of having fewer workshops over the last two months to implement the necessary changes in our Munich campus to meet the new...
Rather than relying solely on school grades, Henley's Executive MBA - Global programme comes with a very personal feedback system: By giving detailed information on how good they are in different areas, how important these areas are to them and helping them individually via coachings and workshops, we hope to bring forth good grades along with an even better personal development!
It is Back to School in October, also for Henley Business School. After the COVID-19 lockdown, Henley’s Greenlands campus invites students back into the class rooms, with highest hygiene standards in place. Furthermore, Henley in Germany is now fully set up for hybrid delivery of workshops and MasterClasses. In September, two events took place that put our investments into technology to the test: a coaching information evening and a Leadership MasterClass with Prof. Ben Laker. Read all about it in this month’s Director’s Thoughts.
At Henley, not only do we ensure a balance between theory and practice, we encourage the students to exchange knowledge amongst one another. Combined with experienced guest speakers and company visits, the Executive MBA guarantees an ideal learning approach that relies on the combined, widespread experiences of all parties involved!
Since its introduction in 1998, the ICF certification is there to ensure highest quality in coaching. This is guaranteed by compliance to the 11 ICF core competencies such as ethical standards, active listening, powerful questions and a certain level of intimacy and trust with the coachee. All in all, the certification may be a door-opener to an exciting career!
This special type of coaching thrives on the deep connection between nature and man and uses it to empower it's participants physically, mentally and emotionally. If done correctly, eco-coaching provides not only a fresh alternative to regular coaching sessions but can also really help to bring the coachee further!
Making our Executive MBA students apply their acquired knowledge to a company of choice through practical modules during studies has more than just one advantage: The students gain immediate practical experience and become visible throughout their companies, which in turn may take direct profit from their employee's actions!
Christoph Raudonat speaks about his experiences with the Henley coaching programme. He explains how it not only taught him how to coach others, but also how it made him reflect on himself. This, in turn, led to his very own personality development.
Advancing in your career can be a difficult step to make, especially if you erroneously feel the need to make this decision as quickly as possible. Figuring out for yourself which factors lead you to this situation and reflecting openly about it are some of the key elements of a healthy decision-making process.
If you want to become a coach and give professional advice to other people around you, you first need to get to know yourself. While walking this path to self-discovery, every participant in the Henley Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching benefits from the support of our experienced tutors!
After a coaching, what remains is the effect the coachee has on his or her environment: The coachee directly transfers his changed attitude to his vicinity, an experience that brings everyone – even the coach himself – forward and may change his or her way of looking at things!

Anne Dibley managed the Henley Workshop in Copenhagen from the UK. We asked her seven questions about this time.
Thomas Kunze was on site at the workshop in Copenhagen and helped to support Henley's new method of blended learning. We asked him seven...
What can we do to remain resilient? One approach is that while we are in a crisis we must return to our values. Christoph Raudonat illustrates this with an exercise.
The past few months were challenging, but we also gained a lot of knowledge from it, for example in how to work productively from home. Henley wants to make use of this knowledge and offers future PCEC programmes on-site as well as online.
Stay tuned for the second half of 2020: There are some new programmes and events coming up while at the same time, we are full of anticipation about investing in start-ups and re-designing our website! We hope you can all enjoy your vacation in spite of the COVID-19 situation!
This year's world ranking of EMBA programmes by the Economist shows the quality of Henley Business School: Our commitment to our students, high-level education and gender inclusion efforts results in the Executive MBA programme being placed no.3 in the UK and no.21 in the world!
In a competitive job market, it is vital that our MBA programme members are provided with an experience that helps with their chosen career path. Personal and professional development is a key area of focus on our global programme.
If your company requires higher education for some employees, Henley Business School might be the perfect choice to educate them further. By sending two or more participants the sponsoring organisation gets a discount on the tuition fee. Additionally, the courses are flexible enough to be taught at the company's premises.
Since Henley sets great store by practical experience, you can enter the MBA programme if you have at least 3 years of experience in management. This means that you don't require a Bachelor's degree to have access to our Master's programme!

We are delighted to see the FT Executive Education Ranking 2020 place Henley Business School in the world top 25 and UK top 5 for the combined ranking of open and closed programmes.
Published today, the ranking of participating business schools is recognised as a strong indicator of the quality of executive education provision because it is largely determined by client and participant ratings.
Henley places at no.24 in the world, no.16 in Europe and no.5 in the UK in the combined ranking which is based on programmes delivered in both our UK campus and overseas campuses in South Africa, Finland and Germany.
Will Murray writes about what still has to be done in the sense of diversity in business: Despite the fact that we are heading in the right direction, LGBT+ people still fear discrimination. Companies should not only be open to diversity, but should include this credo into the heart of their culture in order to create a healthy and respectful work environment!
The current COVID-19 crisis reveals the importance of stable, adaptable and resilient leaders who are able to steer through an ocean of uncertainty. For this reason, Henley Business School is working hard to enable a proper and affordable education for as many individuals as possible – now also in Hamburg! Stay healthy and safe, everyone!
Joshua Perretta reports about IKEA, Network rail, PayPal and Absolut, which all show commitment towards including LGBTQ+ people into their companies and society in general. The efforts range from participating in events such as IDAHOT or launching campaigns to simply supporting employees in being their true selves and raising international awareness about the remaining intolerance all over the world.
Studies have shown that the productivity of employees that feel inspired about their work is several times higher than the output of productive or even engaged ones. In our Henley Reflection Community, you can learn how to encourage inspiration and thus make your company a more productive place!
There are not many studies that analyse the situation of members of the LGBT+ community at the workplace. The results of these studies show that inclusion can only happen when networks address the difference between their members. In the future it is important that we leave the discourse of normal and embrace our true colours!
The COVID-era has begun and brought a lot of changes, which doesn't exclude the skills expected by a leader. Before such skills were: the ability to adapt fast, resilience, a high capacity for EQ, strategic mindedness, the ability to inspire and be a strong leader. In the future, it is important for a leader to let his company recover, so the top leader qualities may be to achieve financial stability and transformation.
It is proven that reflecting on a regular basis can be a powerful tool in order to work with a clearer focus and more productively. We offer you the possibility to attend our professional, guided reflection sessions with a modern learning approach so that you can gain deeper insights into your own issues and find a way to solve them!
Before launching the three events PCEC, PGC in Leadership and EMBA Global in Hamburg later this and next year, Henley Business School and the Business Club Hamburg demonstrated the potential of our strong collaboration: The hybrid events 'Becoming the CEO of yourself' by Ole Petter Anfinsen and 'The Leader Coach' by Prof. Jonathan Passmore which were held in the past two days were a full success!
Henley Business School is a pioneer in finding ways to connect the classroom to online experiences while still maintaining exceptional teaching quality. In this manner, some upcoming events will be available online as well as face to face. In addition, this year's international alumni meeting will be held online – stay tuned!
Henley Business School Germany is opening up again for the summer! Under strict health regulations, you can look forward to some new events to celebrate our collaboration with Business Club Hamburg. In addition to running many workshops and events online, we will help out the main campus in the UK by hosting events that are not possible there due to stricter COVID-19 regulations. Also keep an eye on our three new programmes starting at the end of 2020!
Fitting to our dedication to innovation and sustainability, Henley Business School offers a scholarship about this very area! If you work in one of these fields or would like to become an innovator, feel free to apply with a demonstration of your orientation towards this unique topic!
In accordance with our commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are happy to offer this scholarship, not only teaching how to improve as a leader but also what to do in order to promote inclusion in one's company or field of work. If you would like to attend this course, learn more about diversity and become part of our women in leadership network, send us a brief justification to show your dedication!
According to Prof. Jonathan Passmore, psychologist and executive coach at Henley, doing something a lot doesn't necessarily helps you to become better quickly. This is why competent coaches are so important: to help reflecting about and supervise one's work so that in the end, real improvement evolves!
Henley's bridge between theory and practice dates back a long time: After WWII, it was necessary to rebuild Britain's economy and at the same time create something lasting and sustainably for the future.
Several years lie between then and today – but what has remained is the combination of theoretical knowledge of over 150 faculty members with the managing experience of our teaching experts, creating the perfect learning environment for our students!
This is the fourth and last part of a mini-series in which we take a closer look at the differences between the EMBA and MBA. Only a small difference in the name can make a big difference for students. In general, it can be said that the Executive MBA is truly for experienced managers only.
This is the third part of a mini-series in which we take a closer look at the role an EMBA or MBA plays in your career. A good point of reference whether an MBA can push your career or not are the rankings and accreditation of the School you want to take your MBA or EMBA. Henley Business School has a triple accreditated MBA which is an honour that only few schools worldwide enjoy.
The whole learning process can be much more effective when we have fun doing it. Jonathan Passmore shares this view: In his always authentical, relaxed workshop sessions you feel appreciated and treated at eye level – a truly inspiring and fun experience you should not miss!
Nowadays, we often feel the need to take quick decisions in order to keep track with the rapid changes we experience. One of the most successful methods to avoid that these decisions are the wrong ones is coaching: By getting external advise, we can suddenly get access to who we really are, become able to unlock our full potential and act properly!
This is the third part of a mini-series in which we take a closer look at the role an EMBA or MBA plays in your career. Besides the costs, an often worried-about aspect is the required amount of commitment to the programmes. Especially the EMBA is designed in a way that makes it fit into your personal schedule: In this way, you are given the chance to directly apply your freshly acquired knowledge to your work!
This is the third part of a mini-series in which we take a closer look at the role an EMBA or MBA plays in your career. While the MBA really is a full-time programme for about a year, the Executive version takes longer, but can be studied part-time. This has the advantage that you can keep working actively and combine practice with theory – ideal for experienced executives!
Laerke Maire Norn writes about what is so special about studying for an EMBA at Henley. Besides the beautiful Henley Greenlands campus and one of the kind study trips, what she misses most is the deep focus in late nights of writing assignments and, most importantly, the comradeship with the fellow students. The latter is what really counts: Long-lasting friendships and what you learn from them for life!
An MBA fulfills many aspects that are important building blocks in modern business. On the one hand, it provides a broad knowledge which is highly applicable in the real world. On the other hand, it gives you a practical toolkit of approaches to management and business challenges. Furthermore, it must not be forgotten, that, especially in the Executive MBA programme, a focus lies on personal development.
The decision which Masters programme you should take is not easy and should not be taken rashly. A general MBA gives you a much more holistic view to the management of business, whereas a specialised Masters programme will certainly give you the insights you need in the area of your interests. Also, you should always remember that you will never have finished learning and at some point, you will have to invest in further education.
After an eventful year featuring the publishing of a Manifesto for Coaching Supervision, hosting world famous coach Marshall Goldsmith and establishing a National Coaching Resources Centre as well as new locations for the PCEC programme, the Henley Centre for Coaching has now been awarded the European Mentoring and Coaching Council Coaching Award! Judges emphasized Henley's quality and excellence, honouring the Centre of Coaching with this certification of being an inspiring contibution to the industry.
From today on, you can be excited about Henley spreading its reach to the remarkable city of Hamburg! Together with the prestigious Business Club Hamburg, we are happy to announce three upcoming events and the introduction of our PCEC and Certificate in Leadership Courses, starting autumn 2020 to winter/spring 2021!
