Growth-Centered Leadership

Intro

Why the Growth-Centered Leadership Program?

Growth-Centered Leadership is a comprehensive leadership program designed to help managers grow into impactful, people-focused leaders. In times of rapid change, organizations need leaders who build trust, encourage growth, and unleash the full potential of their teams.

Rooted in coaching psychology, feedback science, and mindset transformation, this program helps leaders move from managing tasks to developing people and thereby creating a culture of ownership, empathy, and accountability.

Our program

Listen. Empower. Lead.​

1. Leader as Coach

Adopt a coaching mindset to unlock deeper engagement, initiative, and sustainable growth in your team. This part of the program equips you with a clear structure and powerful techniques to shift from instructing to empowering, fostering real ownership in those you lead.

You will explore and practice:

• The IGROW Model – A step-by-step structure for coaching conversations that helps others clarify their challenges (Issue), define meaningful goals (Goal), assess their current situation (Reality), explore possible paths forward (Options), and commit to next steps (Will).
• Coaching vs. Mentoring vs. Instructing – Understand when to ask, when to guide, and when to tell. Learn to flex your leadership approach depending on the development level and mindset of your team members.
• Active Listening & Non-Directive Feedback – Develop the ability to listen beyond the surface and ask better questions, rather than jumping in with solutions. Discover how to give feedback that builds clarity and confidence, not dependency.

The second part of this program will teach you to give and receive feedback as a true catalyst for growth, connection, and team effectiveness. You’ll learn to turn everyday feedback moments into opportunities for development, trust-building, and alignment, even when the message is critical.

You will explore and practice:

• SBI Method (Situation, Behavior, Impact) – This is a simple yet powerful framework to deliver feedback clearly and constructively by focusing on facts, not judgments.
• Strength-Based and Developmental Feedback – Learn to highlight what’s working while also addressing areas for growth, creating a feedback culture that inspires rather than discourages.
• Feedback Giver as Coach – Use feedback conversations as a launchpad for coaching by helping others explore solutions instead of prescribing them.
• Team Coaching Dynamics – Practice giving and receiving feedback in real team settings to strengthen cohesion, accountability, and mutual support.

In parallel, you will develop the inner foundation to receive feedback openly, even in times of uncertainty and pressure. We help you shift from a performance-proving mindset to a growth-oriented one that transforms uncertainty into opportunity.

Topics covered include:

• Psychological Barriers to Feedback – Understand emotional triggers and cognitive patterns that can make feedback feel threatening, and learn how to work through them.
• Self-Coaching and Feedback Resilience – Learn to process feedback constructively and apply it for your own development without losing clarity or confidence.
• Using Feedback to Drive Growth – Harness feedback to improve decision-making, deepen self-awareness, and foster a team culture rooted in shared learning.

What is Human Partnering?

Human partnerning is a method in which the executive coach interacts with you. A form of coaching, if you like.

“Coaching” has become a commodity that you can purchase with ease on online platforms. This common form of coaching aims to help you solve the problem of a situation you are currently facing or let you gain some new skills. It does not aim for the deeper personal level because this is “too personal” – or, in a way, too scary.

Then there is a whole industry of “wellness coaching”. Taking time off in a luxurious offsite, finding your inner self, hugging trees. Nice. Yet all too often, this relaxation evaporates in the “real world,” in which you face a multitude of challenges, be it in your profession, your relationships, your family, and the social fabric you have woven around you. These are challenges you have chosen to face, often cheerfully, and they deserve to be taken into account.

Human Partnering takes a different approach. It partners with you to address the most personal issues. The coach accompanies you and supports, at the right moment, to discover, address, and gradually resolve the hidden – and sometimes not so hidden – topics that are of real importance to you as a person. The coach will then return with you to the concrete situation that currently occupies you and help, if required, to apply what has been found on a more fundamental level to the concrete issue at hand.
