I would advise everybody to take part in ENLP. It is the ideal week in your live to get advice on how to proceed as optimal as possible. Even years after my ENLP week I still think regularly back to that week!

The ENLP inspires my leadership style as course director and researcher in Australia. Even after 13 years the ENLP leadership tools still enable me to forecast potential opportunities and fix current challenges.

ENLP is one of my best experiences in my professional career: It supported me to be more organised, motivated and sure of my abilities, and honestly I really got up in my career more easily.

One of the things I most remember from participating in the ENLP Essential Programme, was the task of my team to create a newsletter.

In the dictionary it says: “The accomplishment of an aim or purpose”. Suppose that humans want to accomplish all needs as described by Maslow: “How well am I scoring?” My immediate physical needs are taken care off: I feel safe.

One thing ENLP taught me is that leadership is about my own vision and dream.

You’ll see that ‘’networking’’ is THE keyword of the ENLP. You may disagree at first (that was in my case), but later you’ll realise the immense importance of this.

Director ENLP Advanced Programme

Professor Emilie Combet

(2021 – present)

I am a Professor Human Nutrition at the University of Glasgow (UoG), School of Medicine; my research focuses on the role of food and diet in sustaining lifelong health, with a particular interest in obesity, stress and their impact on health trajectories through life.  

 

I originally trained in Lyon, France in biological and biochemical analytical techniques, before moving to the UK. My PhD was in the field of food quality, with postdoctoral research experience in nutritional biochemistry. My research involves human interventions, cross-sectional surveys as well as lab-based biomarker studies, and I also teach on the Master in Human Nutrition at UoG.  

 

As a ENLP Advanced seminar alumna (2016), I have kept in touch with the network and enjoy interactions with colleagues working in different disciplines linked to nutrition. In particular, the ENLP Network has been a rich source of inspiration on how to collaborate effectively and creatively with others.
