About three weeks before the kick-off workshop. For the groups in the fall of 2022 that means end of August/ beginning of September.

The Discovery is the first – and maybe the most important – step of your Leadership Journey.
It has four core objectives:

• To step into the success mindset that allows you to get the most out of the Journey
• To understand the impact you would like to have in all your different roles: As Leader, professional, partner, parent... 
• To define the development areas you want to focus on in order for you to reach your goals
• To make a specific plan what you will do/learn in the next few months

The Steps

• We are starting the onboarding about three weeks before the kick-off workshop. During that time, you will join the community and already have the opportunity to meet the others in the digital community. You will be asked to write an introduction post in the community and also to take a self-assessment: The Leadership Compass Questionnaire allows you to create a mental image of all the areas that play a role for your leadership development and start to reflect on where you excel and what you might need to take a look at.
• The first two weeks are all about mindset because how you show up might be the most important aspect of it all. 
• Week 3/4: Inner Journey. We will connect you to yourself: What is your purpose? What are your strengths? What might you need to unlearn and what do you want to develop towards?
• Week 5/6: Outer Journey. You will explore what success looks like in your most important roles. 
• Week 7/8: Your Plan. Having a plan is always a great idea: It creates focus and accountability.

For the Discovery: It's ok if you can't be at all eight workshops. We will post the exercises after each call in the community so you can stay up to date. Attendance is of course, always better. 

For the training formats after the Discovery:

For Sprints, that's not a problem. It's challenging to make it to all four workshops. We'll always make it possible for you to follow up on the content you missed. Sprints have a group component so you shouldn't sign up if you have to miss more than one workshop. 

For the Labs, you receive an intro video upfront. Since the 3-hour workshop is the interactive part for the content covered in the video. So, we don't provide follow-up material if you miss the workshop. 

The basis for our journey is the Leadership Compass. It is a development model created by psychologists that covers all the important learning areas of modern leadership. It is not intended as a psychometric test, but as a reflection and analysis tool for learners. It covers all aspects that are of importance for the impact you have. 

Yes, great question, thank you! Organisations today are still organised in a hierarchical way. So yes, leadership takes place in formal roles. But not exclusively.

For us, leadership is about 'stepping forward to have an impact'. Taking the lead means to 'be a force'. Leadership always has an intent or direction. Leadership means taking responsibility for shaping your surrounding. That means, we all are or can be, in fact, leaders. 

We've spent lots of time and done countless experiments to create the perfect mix of formats and channels. Read about our eco-system in detail here. 

Our topics cover all areas of the Leadership Compass – from mindfulness to innovation and change. We are constantly developing new topics – for the app as well as for the trainings. All sprints, labs and monthly calls you can register for are listed on https://intao.io/en/calendar. 

And if you can't find what you are looking for, you can always ask if we might be able to come up with something...

We run two training formats: Labs as short bursts of learning, sprints as deeper, more reflective learning processes.

• Sprints: They last four weeks. In a group of a maximum of 20 participants, you will work on the topic in four workshops. Sparks and the exchange via the digital community ensure more sustainability.
• Labs: The preparation video is followed by a three-hour workshop where we interactively practice the core aspects. Afterwards, you will receive Sparks over two weeks to integrate what you have learned. At the end, you have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences and clarify any final questions in a Q&A session.

The Intao-app or the 'Digital Mentor' as we call it, is the learning tool we've developed specifically for the requirements of personal development. It supports you every day to make learning more sustainable. It accompanies all other learning formats. It's the glue that binds it all together to form one sustainable learning process.

When you don't have time to come to the live trainings, use topics from the library to continue learning on your own time.

We deeply care about that. We only collect very few personalised data (Your name and email) and create no individual reports whatsoever. In order to improve our app, we do analyse user data but only anonymised and collated. For more information, read more here.
