This course is aimed at any leader wanting to deliberately shape their career path, whether they’re currently at a career junction or simply want to be mindful of future opportunities and directions. While the program is geared towards leaders, participants do not need to directly manage a team. Emerging leaders, experienced solo contributors, consultants, and entrepreneurs are also welcome. This course is not limited to participants from a specific industry but is particularly well-suited for individuals whose work primarily involves intellectual, managerial and/or strategic tasks, such as those in management, professional, or creative fields. Industries and areas of interest might include, but are not limited to, marketing, customer relations, product development, strategy, consulting, media, entertainment, consumer technology, consumer goods, agencies, innovation departments, academia, or the nonprofit sector.

We will get back to you within 10 days to let you know if you’re accepted into the course. You will then receive the payment details. Payments can be made via wire transfer or via Stripe. Keep in mind that your spot in the program will not be secured until you paid the tuition in full.

We strive to provide a productive, well designed learning environment. Therefore, we reserve the right to turn down applications if the participant does not fulfill the course requirements.

The course will take place virtually via Zoom in the week from November 18 to 22. Ten hours of live sessions will be spread out over 5 days, and course content will also be made available asynchronously. Sessions will take place Monday to Friday from 11 am ET to 1 pm ET.

A calendar booking tool will be made available to participants to sign up for their 45-minute career coaching session with Anita Zielina via Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. Session slots will be available for 8 weeks starting the week after course completion. Coaching sessions can focus on any career- or leadership-related question and can take place in either German or English.

The CliftonStrengths for Leaders assessment helps leaders identify their top strengths and how to leverage them for effective leadership. This tool provides a personalized report with insights into each leader’s unique strengths, potential obstacles, and actionable strategies to enhance their leadership capabilities. It aims to improve leaders’ self-awareness, confidence, and ability to guide their teams effectively. The report is suitable for leaders at all levels and includes practical tips for immediate implementation. Participants will do the online assessment independently with a code provided by Better Leaders Lab before the course and will discuss findings during class and, if needed, in their coaching session.
