Read About Our Alumni Experience!
“I would highly recommend LSS to everyone who wants to enhance their knowledge and improve their leadership skills. Despite the knowledge LSS provides, it also coaches participants on dealing with difficult situations they may encounter inside their working place or company. Overall, I had a great experience and felt very welcomed.”
“One of the most precious aspects of Leadership Summer School back in 2019 was the people I met. I gained close friends and spent high-quality time with them. They were all so inspiring and made me realize that I want to contribute even more. So, the next logical step was becoming a member!”
“Two months ago, I got the opportunity to attend the Leadership Summer School in Stuttgart, organized by the Alumni- Association of the Rochus and Beatrice Mummert-Foundation. Ten of us were chosen from Central and South-Eastern Europe to participate in this marvelous academic event. (...) This summer school helped me improve my skills and learn something new about myself. Besides this, I came back home with such nice memories not just because I got the chance to learn more, but I also got the chance to meet some extraordinary people who, like me, were also ambitious and hard-working individuals, ready to take on new challenges!”
“The Leadership Summer School was one of the highlights of my year 2022! The opportunity to learn with like-minded people during such a high-intensity course was amazing. Our group was made up of young future leaders from all over Eastern Europe, and it was a true pleasure to get to know them throughout the week. (...) I learned a lot about myself, but also about other people and how to work with them. I understand the importance of body language and project planning in the working world. But most importantly: I know how I can be the best leader of my own future. Don't miss your chance to be part of the LSS!”
