Eighth edition the Leadership School

The Leadership School is an extraordinary intellectual adventure offering a unique approach to shaping young leaders and developing leadership skills. The program provides a wide range of meetings covering diverse topics from energy issues to military leadership, cyber security, and networking. SPIW is also, perhaps above all, about the people – those who create the school and the participants – all united by the mission of development and broadening horizons, not only to develop their own career paths but mainly to create an efficient state and support our country in becoming a better place to live. SPIW is one of the best investments I have made recently and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

If you’ve ever wondered how the Polish state operates at the intersection of politics, big business, media, diplomacy, the military, as well as science and culture, then the Leadership School at the Freedom Institute is meant for you. This prestigious, unique program aimed at future leaders will enable you to quickly reach a higher level. Thanks to the School, I have access to a network of contacts that significantly facilitates the implementation of my plans related to public activities.

Participating in the Leadership School at the Freedom Institute was a truly inspiring and fascinating adventure. I met many amazing people there, and the diversity of classes contributed to my personal and intellectual growth. Geopolitics classes led by experts opened entirely new perspectives for me in considering geopolitical issues. Thanks to networking sessions, I could better get to know other program participants, who are now valuable contacts in my network. It was a unique adventure that enriched my life and knowledge.

The decision to participate in the Leadership School was by far the best one I’ve made recently. Thanks to the program, I not only had the opportunity to interact with outstanding specialists in their fields but also gained insights into various perspectives on the societal issues we face. I also received a handful of practical career advice, such as managing people or building effective teams. Above all, I met an exceptional group of people from all over Poland, with whom I enjoy spending my free time today. In my opinion, to fully benefit from SPIW, one must remember that this initiative stands on two pillars. It’s important to be open to acquiring knowledge and engaging in lively discussions, while equally vital are having fun and a genuine curiosity about others. Participation in the next edition, as well as continued involvement in the Alumni Club activities, can be a source of new professional opportunities and the start of beautiful friendships.

The Leadership School helped me answer many pressing questions, but more importantly, it showed me better questions. I had the opportunity to meet people behind major companies, institutions, and initiatives. Learning about their methods of operation was helpful, but even more valuable was grasping their approach. It’s remarkable that each SPIW participant has distinct interests, which significantly broadened my horizons. Participating in this program provided me with new knowledge in business management (including startups), invaluable networking, and faith in the future.
