What my clients say

"Exactly how Kai Boyd describes the basic problem in approaching difficult conversations is how I have approached them so far.

With the clear framework of the 3 level strategy I could directly solve a conflict and avoid the hardening of fronts. The training is authentic, entertaining and has good exercises that reinforce what was taught."

"Kai Boyd has helped me ensure that my team now communicates better and to the point. It has perfected the way we work together."

"Kai helped me to understand and optimize my leadership and decision-making behavior. Because only those who know their personal preferences are a decisive step ahead."

Using concrete, practically applicable approaches, Kai conveys holistic understanding of leadership topics and helps one to reflect on oneself."

What has been your experience with this lesson? Which empathy type do you feel is a particular strength of yours?

Sixth: Modern leadership thrives on the personal responsibility of co-workers; if tasks are delegated, it is important to clearly define the desired degree of freedom, from prescribing all steps to handing over responsibility.

Which degree of freedom works best for you (and your team)?
