Authentic leadership: bringing your true self to work and becoming the mentor you needed
How this workshop was born
Frederike, former Partner at Plug and Play, Co-Founder Female Angel Club, advisor and INSEAD executive coach, and Adam, former lawyer at Kirkland & Ellis, life coach and yoga instructor would like to invite you to join their workshop.
As coaches, they support founders, investors, executives, lawyers and other high performers in learning how to navigate corporate environments more consciously and sustainably without losing themselves in the process.
Both Adam and Frederike have worked for a combined 25 years in highly pressurized environments, where exceptional performance and relentless output are the minimum requirements.
Periods of burnout and personal crisis forced them to stop, reflect, and fundamentally rethink the way they were relating to their working lives.
These experiences became a turning point, leading them into deeper inner work and a more conscious way of navigating ambition, wellbeing, and success.
They discovered ways of working that did not require codeswitching –- being one person in the office, and someone completely different at home – showing up at work as their integrated selves while inspiring others to do the same.
Adam and Frederike have now joined forces to help others move through similar challenges with more awareness, resilience, and self-connection.
What we are offering
In this 3-hour pilot workshop, Adam and Frederike will share lessons from their own journeys and create a space for participants to reflect on the challenges of operating in competitive fields: pressure, comparison, overperformance, self-worth, conflict, boundaries, stress, and the tension between ambition and wellbeing.
The workshop is designed to help participants develop practical tools to stay grounded, connected to authentic selves, and learn about their patterns while continuing to succeed at a high level. It will combine personal insights, honest conversations, reflection, and actionable techniques to support both mind and body.
This workshop is for people who want to succeed without burning out, lead without disconnecting from themselves, bring more of their authentic selves to work, and find a way of working and living that is both ambitious and sustainable.
Sometimes, much of the stress we experience is self-imposed. We may decide to quit and find ourselves in the same dynamic in a different guise. This workshop is about finding healthier ways to relate to your existing situation, without the need to make drastic changes, and learning from each other to become role models we wish we had.
Join us if you want to explore more and be amongst like-minded people to connect in a safe and confidential environment where you learn to navigate your professional life in healthier ways and be an example for others.
