GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different to traditional leadership training?
Traditional leadership training focuses primarily on building capability through skills and knowledge. Sustainable Performance for Leaders™ strengthens the systems that enable leadership capacity - helping leaders manage cognitive energy, attention, role clarity, and the performance disruptors that affect their ability to consistently lead effectively under pressure.
Who is this designed for?
This program is designed for experienced leaders operating in demanding, fast-paced environments who want to strengthen their long-term performance, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness. Organizations can also enroll leadership teams through the Leadership Team Package.
What is the difference between the three enrollment forms?
All three options provide the same evidence-based learning experience through the Standard Program. The Plus option adds three individual one-on-one leadership sessions for personalized guidance and implementation support. The Leadership Team Package is designed for organizations and enables leadership teams to develop a shared language, consistent leadership approach, and practical system for sustaining high performance together.
Can organizations enroll leadership teams?
Yes. The Leadership Team Package (€8,250 for up to 7 participants) is designed for organizations that want to equip their leadership team with a shared language, consistent leadership approach, and practical system for sustaining high performance.
Can you deliver a customized workshop or program for our organization?
Yes. We design customized leadership development workshops and programs tailored to your organization's unique challenges, whether navigating organizational transformation, rapid growth, AI adoption, or increasing complexity. Book a Corporate Strategy Call to explore the best approach for your leadership team.
What is the time commitment?
The program runs over 12 weeks and includes six live online 90-minute sessions held every other week during lunchtime (12:00–1:30 PM CET). Participants also complete practical implementation exercises between sessions, applying the concepts directly within their own leadership context.
What if I can't attend a live session?
The program is designed as a live, interactive experience, and participants are strongly encouraged to attend every session. If you are unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances, please let me know in advance where possible. Where appropriate, I may be able to share a recording of the teaching portion of the session. Interactive discussions and participant contributions are not recorded to maintain confidentiality and encourage open conversation.
What happens after the program?
Participants complete a final Sustainable Performance Capacity Assessment™ to measure their progress and develop a personal 90-Day Sustainable Performance Action Plan to help embed the systems, habits, and leadership practices introduced throughout the program.
