The transition from specialist to leader is one of the most challenging steps in a professional career—and it doesn’t happen automatically. In this training, we focus on the practical topics that truly matter during the first months: gaining acceptance, developing your own leadership style, and handling difficult situations with clarity. No piles of theory—just real tools you can use in everyday leadership. Drawing on experience from dozens of leadership roles and more than 15 years in leadership development, I bring in what actually works in practice.
