Kundenstatements
Arbeit und Ergebnisse waren professionell, flexibel nach Kundenwunsch und fundiert. Insbesondere beeindruckt das kritische Hinterfragen von Teilnehmer-Statements und sie nicht mit „Floskeln“ davonkommen lassen.
Their ‘Leadership and organization change/transformation’ services always have been maximum professional and efficient, enabling people to reflect, develop, act and achieve. They bring in a wealth of hands-on experience from their own leadership past to support true development of our leaders and organization.
I’m working with the team from The Leadership Academy now for more than 8 years. The reason for the long cooperation is simple: It works and pays off 10 times.
I have been participating in leadership trainings over the past 25yrs and to be honest, most of them were not worth the time and money spent. The Leadership Academy makes a difference to this: it provides customized pragmatic guidance on leadership & strategy development based on real life experience in entrepreneurial and corporate environments.
The support, which we have received from the Leadership Academy over the last five years is multifold… the broad methodological support and coaching experience delivered diverse growth perspectives and helped our leadership team to steer the company. It also helped to achieve our ambitious targets related to growth and performance achievement.

Our mission
The Leadership Academy is a leading competence center for personal, leadership and organizational development.
We are enthusiastic about the development opportunities for people and companies in a time characterized by change and we see our work as a declaration of love to all those who share this enthusiasm and embrace transformation.
Our founders, Claudia and Stephan Herkert, have several decades of practical experience in people and corporate management and development. Their experience ranges from start-ups to global corporate management and responsibility for between USD 1m and 1bn p.a. in sales and 20 to 2,000 employees, including M&As and IPOs etc.
our work
We work holistically in our understanding, systemically in our analysis, pragmatically in our application and sustainably in our implementation. In all processes, people and the achievement of goals are our top priority.
We guarantee genuine encounters, respectful discourse and development at eye level through practical experience in the application and methodical handling of systems and values. This is our idea of working with leadership.
Eye level, over 30 years of experience, authentic topics and pragmatic solutions. Alternatives to what has been learned and an understanding of systems with all the success factors: beyond simple and quick “one-size-fits-all” methods. Where honest change takes place: Enjoying the frontier of comfort zone and development.
We transform leadership and the ability to find solutions beyond the boundaries of established patterns of behavior and understanding.
Difficult challenges and emotions are part of our contract with companies, people and organizational development. Change happens outside comfort zones. This is the price of admission for sustainable change and success.
We enable managers to successfully deal with the system as it is and to shape it as it should be.

& Leadership Coaching:
Huge thank you. The sessions are such a great opportunity to reflect and learn. Me (and the team!) really love the content and your style makes the experience so much worthwhile!
Die Leadership-Trainings hatten einen enormen Einfluss auf meine Karriere und mein persönliches Wachstum. Die gezielte Fragestellung und analytische Tiefe in den Sessions waren bemerkenswert und förderten intensive Selbstreflexion und neue Perspektiven. Dadurch entstand ein wertvoller Prozess, der langfristig wirkt.
Die Trainings haben meine Kommunikations- und Interaktionsfähigkeit nachhaltig verbessert, was zu einer höherer Teamzufriedenheit und empathischer Führung geführt hat.
Die Trainings halfen, Situationen im Arbeitsumfeld klarer zu erfassen und den Alltag für mein Team und mich zu verbessern. Neue Wegweiser und Visionen für meine Karriere wurden sichtbar, die mir zuvor verborgen blieben.
Das Coaching hat mein Leben verändert – Herausforderungen, die komplex schienen, wurden schnell greifbar und emotional stark. Das breite Methodenspektrum und die Erfahrung führten zu sofort spürbaren Ergebnissen in meiner Wirksamkeit.
Alle Bereiche meines Lebens erfahren eine positive Veränderung nach den Sessions. Die einfühlsame, hochkompetente und motivierende Begleitung hat mir geholfen, alte Blockaden abzuwerfen. Das grenzt für mich an ein Wunder!
Das Team-Coaching war ein Meilenstein und hat maßgeblich zu unserem jetzt starken Zusammenhalt beigetragen. Motivation und Teamspirit sind hoch, weil wir nun offener kommunizieren und gemeinsam Lösungen finden.
