The Software Engineering Leadership Academy
The Leadership Academy is designed for leaders in Software Engineering.
Unlike the Software Engineering Leadership Lab there is no fixed curriculum so the leadership academy can be joined as a follow up programme or without prior participation in the leadership lab and attended multiple times as the content is changed by the participants.
It starts with a session to build trust and learn about public speaking.
Then we will alternate the participants giving talks about good leadership practises and their success stories with peer mentoring sessions in which one leader gets advice from the group on their current leadership problem.
Thus, you get advice and guidance to improve your leadership, practice public speaking and can also learn from your peers what works well for them.
As I run this programme online and live, it is an unique opportunity for you to connect with peers internationally and learn from their different perspectives. You might as well create new relationships that last throughout your career.
I’m looking forward for you to join!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of joining this programme?
Safe space, peers, learning, a facilitator who has been in your shoes and the potential for long term peer mentoring relationships.
How many people will the peer group consist of?
I limit the number of participants to eight to foster trust and build relationships.
How is a session run?
Online. This enables me to bring in different perspectives from different countries. Most likely participants will be based in Europe, because I'm based here as well and set the time zone accordingly. Nevertheless I'm happy to welcome participants from anywhere!
How many sessions will we have?
We will have five sessions with 4 hours each. The sessions are conducted biweekly.
How is a session structured?
The first session is about building trust and learning about public speaking.
We also do the first peer mentoring session, in which one of you brings forward a current leadership challenge and seeks advice by the group.
In the following sessions, each of you will either share a good leadership practice or a personal leadership success story in a lightning talk.
You'll discuss the content in break out sessions with your peers.
The main part is a peer mentoring session, in which one of you brings forward a current leadership challenge and seeks advice by the group.
Will the sessions be recorded?
No, we will not record any sessions to make sure you can openly share what's on your mind.
Will my challenges be kept confidential?
In our first session we'll address your need for a safe space to be able to open up and share your personal leadership stories. Everyone should handle the stories of others with discretion. Still, best share your stories anonymised and in a way that they don't reveal business secrets.
When is the payment due?
Upon your registration you’ll receive information to settle the payment. Due to the exclusive nature of this programme, the payment is required prior to the service and this programme is not refundable. In case of exceptional circumstances however, I will consider your request.
