| Date and time | Topic | Description | Location |
| Wednesday 4 March, 14.00-15.00 | Relationship in communication | This session tackles the aspect of communication. A harmonic relationship will have a positive impact on the exchange at a rational level. Inversely, negative feelings like aggression or distrust disturb rational communication. Efforts to convince somebody of a new idea will remain unsuccessful when communicating negative emotions. | Gillingham Building G2-04 |
| Thursday 12 March, 11.00-12.00 | Managing and calculating risk | Sometimes technical skills alone are not decisive in mapping up strategies and calculated risk taking. Participants are encouraged to enter into serious business decisions that will spark up personal entrepreneurial qualities, commitment to work contract, opportunity seeking, goal setting, systematic planning and self-confidence | Gillingham Building G2-04 |
| Thursday 19 March, 14.00-15.00 | Great ideas, great possibilities, great businesses | It is amazing how many ideas can be generated within a short period of time. This session brings out the experience in practice that everyone has many more ideas and creativity potential than they imagined. | Gillingham Building G4-03 |
