The San Luis Clinic has been asked to run a number of development programmes where senior managers in the larger organizations can seek guidance that is broader than the typical course. The aim is not to impart information about a specific business subject, but to develop the executive personally.

Many executives find the stresses of senior management difficult and when they rise within an organization quickly, they have little time to acclimatize. Often there are personality issues that need to be dealt with so that they are able to focus their attention on the real issues.

The executive development programmes are designed to focus on the personal development rather than on a series of skills. This often has the effect of enabling them to excel, whilst shrugging off the problems and distractions that hinder the progress of others.

The Clinic is based on the Costa Blanca, and this is where most programmes are run, using the facilities of a four star hotel nearby. It is possible, if an organization has a number of executives that wish to benefit from the programme, to run it in another city or country.

THE EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS:

Executive Advancement Programme

This programme is aimed at senior executives that are already operating with high output but are seeking to perform at an even higher level. Higher levels of performance can be obtained by removing the psychological blocks that sometime hinder those seeking the most senior roles.

A large amount of face-to-face work is undertaken examining career progression to date focussing on patterns of behaviour. Strengths can then be built upon and weaknesses eliminated. This will then psychologically prepare the executive for the demands of top-level performance.

Executive Direction Programme

This programme is aimed at the senior executive who wishes to examine the alternative directions in the future. All aspects of the executive's life are considered resulting in potential career and lifestyle changes. Face to face work is vital for this in-depth programme.

This programme is ideally suited to executives that have been operating at a senior level who may be considering a career change or a change in life that may be very different from earlier activities.
