SOUTH AFRICA NEEDS STRONG LEADERS
MOST NEW MANAGERS DON’T RECEIVEÂ THE NECESSARY TRAINING BEFORE THEY START THEIR NEW ROLE,
BECAUSE HIGH-QUALITY LEADERSHIP COURSES ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA
which has been used by large, medium, and small enterprises in Europe, the US, India, …
turns an exclusive training program into a no-brainer at a fraction of the costs of other South African courses.
AND SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANIES AND LEADERS RECEIVE A 50% DISCOUNT!

TINA W.
Team Lead Radiology
“Hello, Coach Axel. It’s genuinely indescribable how much I have learned already in these weeks.
Just the many helpful examples regarding ‘addressing difficult, critical, or uncollegial behaviors’ have given me so much confidence.
Thank you so very much for that. I can recommend not only this Bootcamp but also the videos as a whole.
The more you listen, the more confident you become.”
THORSTEN B.
Team Lead
“I’m in week 7 of the Bootcamp, working through the extra courses.
To describe it in one word:
AMAZING!
So much valuable knowledge that is directly applicable at such a price is incredible.
I’ve already been able to pass a lot on to my team, and their performance has drastically changed in the last six weeks.
I also notice a concrete transformation in myself.”
JANINE S.
Head of Marketing Xpecto AG
“We as a company consciously decided to participate in the Bootcamp together and haven’t regretted it for a second.
Thanks to the complete package of flexibly scheduled online sessions and the joint reflection calls with Axel, we were able to work through all the content very well as a team and even derive initial recommendations for action for our company during the event.”

THE COURSE IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You are about to take on a leadership role for the first time or have taken one within the last 12 months.Â
You want to discover which of your skills and traits you already possess will make you a successful leader.Â
You want to learn new methods or update and deepen your knowledge of leadership techniques.Â
You aim to be a confident, motivating, respected, and decisive leader.Â
You are ready to commit about 2 – 2.5 hours per week over 10 weeks for the Bootcamp (instead of sitting in a 5-day in-person seminar).Â
You can only learn new things by spending several days away from the office.Â
You lack self-discipline and will not manage to regularly watch the videos and complete the exercises on your own.Â
You are already convinced that you have mastered leadership and cannot learn anything more.Â
You are not willing to reflect on your approach to leadership, your strengths as a leader, and the leadership skills you need to develop further – and to work on them.Â
