Step-up – Leadership Training

With our Step-up leadership seminar, we focus on the development of up-and-coming female executives. We are convinced that well-trained, female executives make companies more successful. Today’s studies show that a higher proportion of women in management improves a company’s profit and leads to increased sale rates. But how do you make the most of your company’s talent pool? Our new Step-up leadership seminar starts at the beginning: Our seminar provides female high potentials with useful tools to develop their individual leadership qualities. Highly qualified trainers and speakers convey relevant topics around the development of leadership competencies.

Participants develop a clear awareness of their own potential and learn how to meet the special challenges faced by women in leadership positions: This includes the targeted use of so-called feminine leadership competencies as well as a deep understanding of established power structures and how to deal with them. In the Step-up leadership seminar, our participants learn how to lead confidently even through uncertain times and motivate their team to achieve the best possible results.

More success for your company

Companies are facing new challenges as employers today. Above-average pay is no longer enough to attract highly qualified young managers. For today’s generation of employees, the focus is mainly on identification with a company and it’s values. The demand for talent development and interesting job prospects corresponds to the need for personal advancement. Qualified training programs and leadership seminars make companies attractive as an employer and as a long-term partner for motivated and qualified specialists.

Strengthen the bond with your employees through individual training opportunities and create an in-house talent pool that expands your scope of action for the future of your company. In our leadership seminar, companies and the participating managers benefit from the cross-industry exchange that takes place.

By looking at the bigger picture, you can leave well-trodden paths and receive valuable impulses from the outside. New input enables you to make your management team fit for new challenges and increase their creativity.
