Executive Training & Workshops
When Leaders Are Expected to Deliver Change — Strategy Isn’t Enough
Organizations increasingly invest in tools, frameworks & technical skills.
But the real bottleneck often shows up in how people behave under pressure — how they make decisions, collaborate across boundaries, manage conflict & sustain focus in uncertainty.
Executive programs should not only add knowledge — they must change behavior & strengthen human capability.
Transformational Leadership & Innovation Programs That Unlock Human Potential
Through Pracademy, my executive training firm, I help people think clearly, act courageously & move together — when change gets hard
The Human Capabilities That Drive Results
Our programs are designed to develop leadership & team capacities that matter most in complex, fast-moving environments:
Attention & Presence — clear focus amidst noise
Trust & Psychological Safety — collaboration that lasts
Courage & Impactful Experimentation — decisive action in uncertainty
Values-Aligned Leadership — consistency under stress
These capacities are not soft skills in isolation — they directly influence decision speed, alignment across teams & the ability to navigate complexity.
Designed for Real Leadership Challenges — Not Abstract Theory
Each program combines experiential learning, reflection & real practice — so leaders don’t just hear insights; they live them.
In sessions, we work with:
Real organizational dilemmas, not hypothetical cases
Embodied reflection, not just discussion
Paired and group practice, not lectures
Transfer to everyday work, not retreat-only experiences
This makes learning sticky & behavior change sustainable.
What Changes — & What Makes This Work Different
This work focuses on behavior, not theory.
Most leadership and innovation training stays cognitive.
People understand the ideas — but behavior rarely changes under pressure.
Here, it does.
What typically changes:
Leaders gain clarity about what drives them and how they lead
Teams become more trusting and effective under pressure
Organizations see stronger engagement and more sustainable performance
Why it works:
Leaders practice attention, trust, and courage — not just discuss them
Learning is grounded in real organizational challenges, not abstract cases
The focus is on building human capacity that translates directly into action
The result:
Insight that sticks, behavior that shifts, and leadership that holds up in uncertainty.

“Seven years of wonderful collaboration, Fede — hard to believe how quickly the time has flown. You’ve genuinely changed the lives of many people at Telenor, and I can clearly see the cultural shift you’ve helped set in motion.
The top management team in Pakistan were especially enthusiastic about your Islamabad sessions and shared how empowering the experience was. And thank you once again for another outstanding module in Bangkok — full of insight, vulnerability, and real transformation. As always, you hit the mark.
Looking forward to seeing you in Oslo soon — and here’s to the next seven years!”
