With the aim of exploring new and relevant issues in today's business world, the second edition of EGADE U Week will focus on empowering leaders’ minds to help them and their organizations pay more attention to people and obtain greater performance and better results at the organizational level.

This innovative and intensive Lifelong Learning program exclusively for EGADE Business School graduates will provide the tools and techniques required to achieve strategic objectives, thereby improving performance, creativity and resilience. The event is being organized in conjunction with Potential Project, a global leader in organizational and leadership development programs based on mindfulness.

To be held on March 27th and 28th at the EGADE Business School Mexico City site, EGADE U Week 2020 will include conferences, workshops and activities designed to create high-impact interactions with leading international professors, and renowned leaders, disruptors and entrepreneurs.

The theme of this year’s program is “Empowering the Leader's Mind”, with a focus on three central leadership qualities:

• Mindful Leadership: A culture of mindfulness, connection and contribution is essential for any successful organization.
• Selfless Leadership: Leadership is about achieving results by empowering others.
