Leadership development with two accredited certifications in Riyadh

Empowering Saudi leaders through two accredited certifications

Strong leadership is the cornerstone of organizational success, especially with the rapid transformation of the business sector in Saudi Arabia.
The ESTC and Actumea Academy dual-certified leadership development program offers a combination of global best practices from France with an in-depth understanding of the Saudi market.
Participants graduate with two prestigious certificates - one from ESTC and one from Actumea Academy - reflecting their mastery of leadership theory, emotional intelligence, and effective strategic execution.

Formulating a clear strategic vision


The journey begins with intensive workshops on strategic planning.
Participants learn how to conduct a SWOT analysis customized to Saudi sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and energy.
Through hands-on exercises, they practice formulating SMART goals, analyzing stakeholder influence, and anticipating future trends tied to Vision 2030 initiatives.
Real-world case studies-from banks launching new digital products to government agencies modernizing their services-reinforce the link between strategy and practice.
By the end of this module, leaders are able to create a clear roadmap that guides their teams toward the goals

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence

Leadership is not just planning, it is primarily a human interaction.
Our Emotional Intelligence Labs draw on French coaching techniques to build self-awareness, empathy, and psychological resilience.
Activities include stress management simulations and peer feedback exercises.
Actumea trainers lead participants to acquire active listening and non-verbal signaling skills, helping them build trust, resolve conflicts, and create a positive work environment that promotes employee retention and productivity.

Mastering Change Management

In a rapidly changing environment, change management becomes an essential skill.
The program offers effective frameworks such as the eight-step Kotter model, adapted to the Saudi cultural context.
Leaders practice stakeholder presentations, communication campaigns, and project launch planning.
The training emphasizes the importance of transparency, early engagement, and celebrating quick successes.
These practices enable leaders to implement organizational changes such as mergers, introduce new technologies, or adapt to organizational changes with minimal disruption.

Getting a dual degree

Upon successful completion of the program, participants receive:

  • ESTC (Saudi) certification: Recognized by Saudi companies and government agencies as evidence of competence and local alignment.
  • Actumea Academy Certificate (France): Demonstrates the trainee's commitment to the highest French training standards and international best practices.

These dual certifications enhance leaders' credibility, open doors to regional and international opportunities, and emphasize their commitment to continuous professional growth.

Building an ongoing leadership community

After graduation, participants join quarterly gatherings of fellows from different cohorts, led by Actumea coaches.
These meetings are a platform to share challenges, share best practices, and explore recent trends in leadership.
Members also get exclusive access to webinars and a resource library of papers on digital leadership and sustainable growth in the Saudi market.

Measuring Impact and Demonstrating Return

To measure true value, ESTC and Actumea track performance indicators before and after training.
Indicators include: Team engagement scores, project success rates, and progress toward strategic goals.
Comprehensive reports highlight improvements, such as a 25% increase in interdepartmental collaboration or a 30% reduction in project delays, proving the return on investment.
