At CORECODE we consider the UGL (Understanding Group and Leader) to be one of the best educations in leadership and personal growth in the world. So far 200 000 people have taken this intense course.
UGL provides training in how a group develops and matures over time, what happens in the group during the course of this development and what behaviour or actions promote or inhibit constructive development. Within UGL, this is referred to as group dynamics. The course also deals with the problems and possibilities of leadership related to the development of the group’s maturity, and what style of leadership will promote both task solving and group development.

What UGL can do for you
The overall objective of the course is for the participants to become more effective as group members, leaders and trainers. During this course you will have the opportunity to:
- participate in an experiential (experience based) learning model
- increase insight into your own personality
- learn to identify and to handle conflict
- learn to communicate in a direct and clear way
- learn to give and to receive effective feedback
- learn to recognize different phases of a group’s development
- understand that there is a need for different leadership styles
- increase self-confidence and self-insight
How does it work?
Throughout the UGL course, learning occurs through experience of situations reflecting group dynamics and understanding your own role in these situations or dynamics. Each group consists of 8-12 people and two certified UGL facilitators who make up activities to make sure they suit the members of the group. We have found some lovely locations for the UGL-course where the members stay for five whole days.
