Leadership and
personal development

Are you looking for an inspiring and effective leadership training? Double Healix provides leadership and personal development trainings at every level of influence.

Live Training

Leadership requires all-round personality development. It is about increasing your knowledge of yourself, your emotional intelligence, and your willingness to improve. Double Healix helps you to become the best version of yourself using appropriate examples from films. You learn to handle tension fields, to reconcile conflicts, and to see and communicate the bigger story. On this page, you will find an overview of our trainings for managers and leaders. Our trainings can be followed via open registration or in-company applications. We also have extensive experience in designing and executing long-term Management Development programs, and we are open and adaptive to your individual needs.

Upcycling of Leadership
The Double Healix term Upcycling refers to the principle that major societal changes follow the same patterns as small-scale personal, team or organizational development. The training Upcycling Leadership consists of discussing and experiencing so-called Upcycling Ladders: transformations of values to ever-higher levels of complexity and comprehensiveness. In this way you gain insight into how to elevate your own themes and how to help raise the competencies of your employees to a higher level of effectiveness, comprehensiveness and meaningfulness. You learn to recognize tensionfields and to better deal with them. In this way, you will learn to deal better with conflict and maintain your inner peace. The Double Healix model also offers a meta-framework and an overarching view in which leadership theories and leadership styles can be better understood.
Do you need a solid and comprehensive overview of leadership levels in order to facilitate development in your personal life,…

In-company training

Double Healix offers in-company training for small and large groups. These are fully customized programs in which people learn more than just skills. Personal attitude and intrinsic motivation increasingly play an important role in the complexity of our contemporary society. More and more often, it is about who you are, and the story you bring.

Our experts always work interactively with the participants in our customized programs. On the basis of a carefully selected set of film clips, we enter into a dialogue with them and design exercises. In consultation and co-creation with you as the client, we design the whole process. Our presentations can range in length from one and a half hours to multi-day training. The Management Development programs that we help to set up and execute can take six months or several years.
