The Henley Executive MBA

A Journey Begins

The Henley EMBA program represents a major achievement for leaders who aim to improve their management and leadership abilities. The participants in the program will not only form initial impressions but also embark on a personal journey of development.

Currently, a cohort of Danish leaders is preparing to begin the Henley EMBA program. A program with a strong reputation and is widely recognized for its comprehensiveness. Typically, the participants will attend workshops at our Copenhagen-based premises, however, for the Henley EMBA starter workshop, participants will convene at Henley Greenlands in the United Kingdom. The MBA starter workshop allows participants to become acquainted with the course's format, esteemed faculty, academic demands, and their fellow peers' dynamics. Many are mentally and emotionally preparing themselves for the demanding academic workload that lies ahead.

Personal Development and Personal Growth

At Henley Business School, personal development and growth are the core of our approach to education and one of the cornerstones of the Henley MBA. Since its establishment in 1945, the philosophy has been that personal and professional development cannot be separated; they are mutually dependent. 

The Henley EMBA program prioritizes personal growth through experiential activities, coaching, and relationship-building to enhance leadership skills. It emphasizes accelerating strengths and compensating for weaknesses, enabling students to pursue their goals and reflect on their progress. Personal development is integrated throughout the whole Henley EMBA program via workshops, coaching, feedback sessions, and written assignments at each stage.
