“Setting the foundation right is the starting point for leadership success”
If you are excited to lead a team for the first time in your international work environment, but at the same time feel insecure and doubtful about the responsibility that comes with leading people…
If you’d like to get a solid foundation at the start of your first leadership role with a group of like-minded peers and a team coach, continue reading!
Because NOW is the time to set up your leadership groundwork appropriately…

The programme is supported by
“I feel determined and have high expectations of myself to get “the leadership thing” right, but don’t know where to start?”
“I feel challenged as I’ve been a team member before and am now going to be the boss of my former colleagues who are also more experienced than me!”
“I feel accountable for myself when it comes to my development as a leader. My organisation has a leadership training where I might get a slot, but only much later. I will, however, take over my team in the next two months and need practical support NOW!”
You feel more self-confident and are ready to master the challenge of effectively leading a team for the first time
You concretely develop your practical skills in the area of leadership and team development – e.g. you handle the first contact with your team members easily
You don’t feel alone in the challenge anymore as you are strongly supported by a network of other first-time leader peers with similar challenges

Having worked many years in the area of leadership development in large multinational corporations across different countries in Europe, I have seen quite a few teams succeed, but also ones which have failed. One thing that I always noticed was the large impact the leader’s behaviour had on the team’s success – both positively and negatively.
Therefore I believe that it’s essential to invest in leadership skills from the beginning and I would like to support you during the transition phase!
My leadership experience is based on working closely with nearly 100 team leaders across different countries and companies in team development processes and 1:1 coaching. In addition, I have served as a leader myself for several project teams and employee networks during my corporate career, as well as a volunteer in civil society organisations. I’m looking forward to working with you!
– A fully digital learning experience (via the tools Zoom and Slack), resulting in there being no travel costs and no special equipment needed, but still a high-quality modern way of learning offered
– A programme which starts several times a year – offering you the right support at the right time when you need it
– Individual modules will each include:
– The opportunity to develop your own coaching skills in peer coaching techniques
– To be part of a confidential atmosphere, where non-disclosure agreements are signed, enabling you to share comfortably about your individual situation
– The chance to enlarge your network of international leaders from an interesting variety of organisations, where you can support each other as sparring partners during the video calls as well as in between on Slack – and maybe even beyond in a face to face meeting!?
