Personal Development Plan

The Personal Development Plan (PDP) has been designed to help each and every participant gain the maximum benefit from the program as
well as construct a roadmap for future development beyond the AMP. We have always been highly focused on diversity and, therefore, understand
that each participant joins the program with his or her unique set of strengths, weaknesses and objectives. For this reason, the PDP has been
structured to allow for individual guidance by:

Identifying your Ascertaining passion Recognizing and managing

talents, strengths and and motivations “derailers”, or impediments
competencies to development

With the help of a personal advisor, each participant will work in a personalized fashion with his or her advisor in order to obtain individualized
and concrete results during and after the program.

BEFORE DURING AFTER

The PDP begins with a set of online tests
(CDR-3D) which will serve as a lifelong tool
for measuring character, drivers and risks by:

navigating career paths
maximizing personal fulfillment
We recommend that each person complete
these tests no less than 3 weeks before
the beginning of the program. It is
important to secure one’s place reservation
