Which Lab Does Your Team Need?
The most common starting point is a signal your organization is already sending – in eNPS comments, exit interview themes, or patterns a manager’s manager keeps noticing. Below is a guide to matching that signal to the right lab.
If you’re not sure where to start, the discovery call does that work. Tell us what you’re seeing. We’ll tell you which lab addresses it most directly.
What Are You Observing On Company Level?
Each lab is designed around a specific gap. Find the signal that matches what you’re seeing.
“Our managers keep solving problems their team should be solving.”
Team members escalate. Managers answer. Repeat. The team becomes dependent and the manager becomes a bottleneck. Ownership doesn’t flow downward because nobody has taught the manager how to move from doing to leading.
This lab helps managers move from giving answers to guiding their team’s thinking.
“The same message lands differently depending on who receives it.”
A manager operating in one communication style will consistently lose connection with parts of their team or their stakeholders – without knowing why. Those misreads accumulate. Friction follows.
Managers learn to read different styles and flex their own → for better connection with reports, peers, and stakeholders.
“Feedback is happening too late, or not at all.”
Performance issues surface in review cycles as surprises. Managers soften messages until they mean nothing, or avoid the conversation entirely. Small problems compound quietly while trust erodes.
This lab makes feedback a regular, constructive part of how the team works – not an event people dread.
“Our hybrid teams feel coordinated on paper but disconnected in practice.”
Remote team members disengage. Decisions get made in the room. Managers run the same playbook they used for in-person teams → and wonder why it’s not working.
This lab addresses the patterns that quietly erode cohesion in distributed teams and gives managers the tools to counter them.
“In our international teams, alignment is harder than it looks.”
A nod doesn’t always mean agreement. Silence doesn’t always mean buy-in. Direct feedback lands as aggression for one team member and clarity for another. Without a framework, the manager will struggle with cross-cultural communication.
Managers learn to read cross-cultural signals and adapt – before the misunderstanding becomes a conflict.
“Our company is going through change and managers are struggling to hold things together.”
Restructuring. Strategy shifts. New leadership. Managers are expected to communicate what they don’t fully understand themselves. The two most common responses – forced optimism and silence – both destroy the trust that makes teams resilient.
This lab gives managers a framework for change conversations that builds safety rather than anxiety.

Who Facilitates The Labs?
90 Minute Labs are facilitated by two senior practitioners with over 14 years of experience building leadership capability inside international organizations.
Veronica Ambrosini
Team Dynamics & Workshop Design
Veronica brings 15+ years in HR and talent, specializing in team effectiveness and experiential learning. She is a certified senior coach, Leadership Circle practitioner, Insights Discovery practitioner, and Workshopper Master. She creates the conditions where real learning, not just the appearance of it, happens in the room. Most importantly, she designs experiences that make psychological safety practical.
Dagmar Glow
Leadership Development & Coaching
Dagmar brings 14+ years in L&D, with a track record of building leadership capability in fast-moving international organizations. She holds the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) designation and is a certified Agile coach and team facilitator. Her focus is the space between a training session and a Monday morning: what do managers actually do differently, and how do you make that change stick.
What Does The Research Say About Short-Format Leadership Training?
Research consistently shows that spaced, practice-based learning produces stronger behavior change than single-event training. A 90-minute session focused on one skill, with deliberate practice and immediate application, outperforms a full-day workshop that covers twelve topics without enough time to practice any of them. The LinkedIn 2025 Workplace Learning Report identifies manager effectiveness as the top development priority for organizations, and coaching skills as the capability with the largest identified gap. Short-format, targeted interventions are increasingly the preferred model for organizations without dedicated L&D functions → because they fit real schedules, produce visible results, and can be evaluated against observable behavior change rather than post-training survey scores.
Frequently Asked Questions
The right starting point depends on what you are observing in your team. If feedback is being avoided or arriving too late, start with Feedback That Lands. If 1:1s feel ineffective or ownership is not flowing downward, start with Coaching 1:1s That Drive Ownership. If your team is international or multicultural and alignment feels harder than it should, Lead Across Cultures Without Losing the Message or Speak So They Can Hear You are the strongest entry points. If you are not sure, describe what you are seeing in a short message → we will recommend the right lab before you commit to anything.
Practical, by design. Every lab is built around real scenarios and situations your managers are actually navigating, not textbook examples. Participants spend the majority of the session doing: practicing a coaching conversation, working through a real feedback moment, rehearsing a cross-cultural interaction. The frameworks introduced are simple enough to use the following week without referencing notes.
The first step after booking is a short discovery call of typically 20 to 30 minutes. We use that time to understand your team’s context, the specific challenge you are addressing, and what success looks like. From there, we confirm the date, send participants a brief joining note, and handle everything else. No preparation is required from your side or from participants.
How To Bring These Labs To Your Organization?
Our labs can be delivered online worldwide (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) or in person in Berlin and across Europe. Pricing depends on delivery format, group size, and whether the labs are booked standalone or as part of a series.
