SILC Online Student Leadership Masterclass in the UAE
SILC Student Leadership Online Masterclass in the UAE
Starting Sunday March 15th, we will be releasing our popular online leadership programme, the SILC Student Leadership Masterclass in the UAE.
Running for 3 weeks, 3 weekly 20 minute online micro-masterclasses will provide students with structure and motivation while at home, building on important leadership qualities and practical skills such as goal setting, focus, decision making, high performance techniques, resilience, managing high expectations, well-being, time management and presentation techniques.
The micro-masterclasses can be easily integrated into students’ daily routines, and this series is a great way to help give students structure, practical skills and motivation throughout the coming days at home during the school closures.
Delivered by our Senior Trainers, guest speakers including the Forbes business woman of the year, top athletes, Swiss watchmaker Hublot’s Innovation Director, the Chairman of the Emirates Investment Center and industry experts, each session ends with a practical task that can be applied in real world scenarios to reinforce the lesson’s learning outcome, and students end the course with a certificate of completion and a Personal Action Plan to help them with the continued development of their skills in the following months.

How it works
Fun and engaging 20 minute online micro-masterclasses
Run by our experienced Senior Trainers and guest speakers, we offer impactful and practical sessions that help students apply the skills directly in their daily lives by sharing real world examples, case studies, personal experiences and tools that can be applied at home, at school, during activities or with friends and family.
Practical application of the skills and online discussion
To help digest and train these leadership skills, students will be given a practical task at the end of each session. These tasks are designed to be applied in real world scenarios, with family and friends. Students can also ask questions and share reflections on their practical tasks on our Discussion Board, and will also get direct feedback from our Senior Trainers.
Personalised feedback, Personal Action Plans and Certificate of completion
During evaluation sessions and through our Discussion Board our staff provide students with direct feedback for repeated application of the learned skills. All participants are encouraged to use the community space in order to finish with a course completion certificate. At the end of the course students will work on their Personal Action Plans where they select the skills most beneficial to them and come up with a plan on how to develop them further, receiving personal feedback from our Trainers.
When and where
Follow masterclasses live or watch later
Starting March 15th, the course will run for three weeks and consist of three weekly live 20 minute video masterclasses, taking place on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 pm Dubai time. We do encourage students to join for the live masterclasses to help set a routine and to join the Q&A session which follows each lesson, however don’t worry if you won’t be available for one or more sessions – the content will be made available online shortly after each session for students who are not available, or for those wishing to further review the material, and the practical tasks can be completed in the students’ own time during interaction with friends and family.
Access around the world on all platforms and devices without VPN
The webinars will be delivered through the Zoom online platform which is accessible in the UAE and around the world without the need for a VPN on any device and OS, both desktop and mobile. Upon registration students receive a personal login to access the webinars on the Zoom online platform and Discussion Board to post their brief reflection on the practical assignments which are then evaluated by our senior trainers.
Limited time investment: a practical course to apply skills in daily life
Students apply the skills in their daily lives and existing activities so the actual time investment beyond the 20 minute masterclasses is limited and more a matter of focus and application of skills in real world situations.
1 hour of total lesson time a week based on three 20 minute masterclasses
+ recommended 1 hour / week to practice the tools in daily life.
+ around 1 hour / week for giving and receiving feedback via the online learning platform
= total time investment of between 1-3 hours a week depending on how much the student chooses to practice in daily life.
