This bootcamp was designed to provide support, structure, and orientation exactly in this phase.
You Grow Into It.
Stepping into a leadership role often happens faster than you can internally prepare for. Yesterday part of the team, today responsible for results, atmosphere, development, and direction.
Many new leaders experience in the first months:
You should plan around two to three hours per week. This time is used for compact video sessions, short reflection prompts, and direct application in your leadership routine, for example in conversations, delegation, or decision making. You set your own pace and can move faster or take breaks. All content remains available to you for 24 months.

Your long term development as a leader
After the bootcamp, you will no longer lead based on instinct, but with intention and reflection. You will understand your role, make clearer decisions, and communicate with more confidence.
You will develop, among other things:
confidence in transitioning from employee to leader
clarity about what you are responsible for and what you are not
structure in handling delegation, priorities, and time
the ability to develop employees and address performance
a leadership style that fits you and your team
Leadership becomes tangible and manageable.
At the end of the ten weeks, you will have a solid foundation to build on. For your team. For your career. For yourself.
For many participants, the bootcamp as an online program is already fully sufficient. Others, however, want additional personal exchange to clarify questions from their leadership routine, discuss specific situations, or deepen key topics together.
For this purpose, optional live group coaching sessions are available. In addition to the bootcamp, three moderated online sessions can be booked, where leadership practice is reflected and confidence in handling real challenges is strengthened.

》Do I need prior experience in leadership or coaching?
No.
The bootcamp does not require any specific prior knowledge.
It is designed so you can easily follow along even without coaching experience, while still offering enough depth for those who already have leadership experience.
》How much time do I need to invest?
The bootcamp is designed as a clearly structured development process over ten weeks. Each week, a central leadership topic is unlocked so you can focus on one key area at a time instead of trying to learn everything at once.
You should plan around two to three hours per week. This time is used for compact video sessions, short reflection prompts, and direct application in your leadership routine, for example in conversations, delegation, or decision making. You set your own pace and can move faster or take breaks. All content remains available to you for 24 months.
》Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. After completing the bootcamp, you will receive a certificate with your name, which you can use on LinkedIn, in job applications, or for your internal career development.
》What if I need to take a break?
No problem. You can pause the course at any time and continue seamlessly later.
With flexible online access and 24-month availability, you can learn entirely at your own pace.
》How does the 30-day money-back guarantee work?
If the bootcamp isn’t right for you, you’ll get your money back within 30 days, no questions asked. Simply send us an email, and your refund will be processed within 5 business days.
》What technical requirements do I need?
All you need is a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access, plus speakers or headphones. For the PDF worksheets, you may want a printer.
If you can open this page and watch a preview video, you’re ready to go.
》How long will I have access to the course?
You have 24 months‘ access to all content, which you can use as often as you like within that time.
With over 35 online courses, a published book and experience of coaching internationally, Axel demonstrates how to develop your leadership skills in a conscious, effective and forward-looking way — for yourself, your team and your career.
No problem. You have 30 days to try it.
If you realize within that time that it’s not helping you, you’ll get your money back.
No hassle. No questions asked.
