Course overview

Leadership isn’t about titles.

Nor is it about controlling people or getting everyone to follow the rules. It’s about creating the conditions for others to thrive, so that you—and your team—can create something extraordinary.


But stepping into a leadership role for the first time can feel overwhelming. Suddenly, you’re expected to manage, motivate, and inspire others—without much guidance on how to do it well. Maybe you’re spending too much time solving problems your team should handle themselves. Maybe tough conversations feel like a minefield. Or maybe, even after months or a couple of years in the role, you’re still figuring it out as you go.


This course is designed to change all that.


It’s not about giving you abstract ideas or leadership theories you’ll never use. It’s about building a strong foundation—a practical, proven structure—to help you lead with clarity and confidence. Combining independent self-study with live online workshops, this course gives you the best of both worlds: flexibility to learn at your own pace and live sessions to practice and connect in real time.


Here’s the promise:


• No more guessing. Gain the structure and tools to lead with clarity and purpose.

• Watch your team step up. Delegate, give feedback, and see your team deliver results.

• Handle challenges with confidence. Navigate conflict and change with ease.

• Build a thriving culture. Foster trust, accountability, and collaboration in your team.


If you’re new to leadership—or still finding your footing—this program will give you the tools, structure, and confidence you need to grow into the leader your team deserves.


This isn’t about turning you into someone you’re not. It’s about helping you show up as the leader you’re capable of being—the one you already have the potential to become.

What will you get out of this program?

A sense of clarity and confidence about what it means to be a leader

Right now, it might feel like you’re figuring things out as you go, but this program will give you a solid foundation to lead with certainty. You’ll gain tools and techniques to handle day-to-day challenges of managing a team, so you feel in control and ready to take on anything.

The tools to lead your team without feeling like you have to do everything yourself

If you’re tired of constantly checking in or stepping in to solve problems, you'll learn how to delegate effectively and create a team that takes ownership. You’ll learn how to motivate people to work with you—not just for you—so you can finally breathe a little easier.

Practical skills to handle the tough moments without hesitation

From delivering honest feedback to resolving conflicts or making the hard calls, you’ll walk away knowing how to tackle these moments with calm and authority. No more second-guessing yourself or avoiding the uncomfortable conversations—it’ll all feel doable, and even natural.

The ability to inspire trust and bring out the best in your team

This program isn’t about controlling people—it’s about helping them thrive under your leadership. You’ll learn how to set the tone for your team, make decisions people respect, and create a space where everyone feels supported to do their best work.

Lasting impact that goes beyond the program

You won’t just learn something new and forget it in a week. The program is designed to give you time to absorb the knowledge, try out new approaches in real situations, and build habits that actually make a difference—for you, your team, and your results.

Fresh perspectives and insights from people who’ve been where you are

You’ll have the chance to connect with managers from different industries and levels of experience, exchanging ideas and discovering new ways to tackle challenges. Sometimes, the best solutions come from seeing things through someone else’s eyes.

What people are saying

        If I had to highlight one takeaway from the course, it'd be understanding how crucial a leader’s role is within an organisation and how their attitude influences team performance and company results. The course covers building effective and autonomous teams, and managing change. I highly recommend it to new leaders or those facing challanges

        This course is for both new and experienced managers. Lech brings incredible knowledge, energy, and positivity. Participants can meet other leaders and exchange experiences, which is invaluable. The course offers valuable materials to revisit and is a great opportunity to deepen knowledge, gain skills, and see topics differently.
Monika Kulik

Talent Manager (GetResponse)
        The course allowed me, above all, to organise my knowledge in the area of team management. I also received a huge number of additional tools, techniques, and practical solutions. The opportunity to discuss the acquired knowledge with other participants was very valuable. Led by Lech, it’s all about specifics and substance.
Katarzyna Komorowska

HR Senior Specialist (Arla)
        The most valuable part of the exercises was the self-reflection and the most important takeaway was structuring key leadership topics with examples that help solve everyday challenges. The chance to compare ideas with people from different industries and experiences was invaluable—you could pick up solutions and test them in your own work.

Team Leader (Bayer)
        I became more aware of what I was already doing well—things I’d instinctively felt were right but had no confirmation of. The course validated that these practices align with the stages of my team’s development, showing me how to guide them more effectively.

Showing people how to realise their potential

For years, I’ve been exploring how leaders can inspire their teams by staying true to their values. I firmly believe that real leadership isn’t about authority but about authenticity—being yourself and building trust.


Through my work with global brands, delivering workshops, and providing consultancy, I’ve had the privilege of helping leaders develop authentic, high-performing teams. Speaking at industry events has given me the chance to exchange insights and share proven strategies with managers from diverse backgrounds.
