Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a groundbreaking initiative by Novya, a Brussels-based consultancy dedicated to European nonprofit organizations. Novya has launched The Novya Leadership Lab, a three-month leadership development program specifically designed for nonprofit executives and association secretary generals in Brussels. The program, running from January to March 2026, aims to equip participants with strategic agility, operational rigor, and people-centered leadership skills to effectively navigate the challenges posed by political volatility, complex European Union policies, funding uncertainties, and digital transformation. The Leadership Lab is structured around three core dimensions: Authentic Leadership for Impact, Empowering and Growing Teams in Complex Environments, and Leading Agile Transformation, providing hands-on learning through tools, case studies, coaching, and peer exchange.

The Leadership Lab is tailored to the unique needs of Brussels nonprofit leaders, offering a blend of in-person and online sessions, personalized coaching, and a peer network. With a cohort size limited to 12 participants, the program ensures personalized attention and support. The initiative is led by Lisa Kretschmann, an International Coach Federation-certified leadership coach, and Benita Lipps, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Novya. Nonprofit leaders interested in strategic or organizational transformation, navigating complex European Union policy environments, and managing teams through change are encouraged to apply.
