We work with managers of all levels on key topics such as values and leadership attitudes, cooperation, roles, trust and basic leadership tools. For us, learning is not initiated by listening. In our programs we create a safe space in which experiencing, trying things out, trial and error, open feedback and reflection are a given. Our training courses for leaders are designed as learning journeys in which new behaviour can be anchored in order to become routine. The didactic heart of the program is our learning cycle of experiencing - reflecting - deepening - transferring, which the participants go through iteratively.
From employees to the board of directors - we always encourage you to extend your comfort zone, look at existing and tried and tested things from new perspectives and critically question whether your own behaviour leads to the desired goal. We align the way the program is carried out to the specified requirements and a joint clarification of needs and use classic face-to-face workshops as well as purely virtual or hybrid implementation.
We design our leadership programs in a co-creative process based on the challenges and goals of different leadership levels within the organization.
