WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
AVIRA is a learning experience aimed at leaders at the very top level of their companies. AVIRA was created as the result of an international survey carried out by INSEAD into the personal development needs of chief executives. The study revealed that executives wanted to be inspired rather than taught, they were keen to develop a deeper insight into their own behavior, rather than to acquire new knowledge or be offered solutions.
If you’re in a senior position within your organization and you wish to challenge yourself by working alongside other senior executives then this is aimed at you.
