Leadership Dojo

The dojo is a space for learning. The Leadership Dojo works where traditional training ends: at the root of your leadership. We remove blockages, regulate emotions, and develop clarity—not through theory, but through effective work. The dojo is not just a place, but a toolbox that strengthens you as a leader.

Jessica is one of the team members that every project wants and many desperately need! With her determination, empathy and energy she brings every project forward! Most of all, I appreciate her authentic nature mixed with a dash of humor, so that working together has always been a lot of fun!
Michael Mohr
The workshop with Jessica on Mallorca was a game changer. In a very short space of time, she made it clear where our communication is stuck - and how we can improve it. The result: more clarity, faster decisions, real team energy. A clear recommendation for anyone who really wants to work on collaboration.

    challenges

    Do you feel that leadership requires more than just methods?

    Traditional leadership training programs provide you with frameworks and tools, but the real challenges remain: you perform well under pressure but can't relax. You always react the same way, even though you want to do things differently. You lack presence, even though you are always there.
    This is exactly where the Leadership Dojo comes in—it addresses the patterns that unconsciously control you.

    We master these challenges in training

    01.
    Everywhere and nowhere
    You're in every meeting, but not really present. Your mind is on the next email while your team is talking. Multitasking becomes a continuous loop—and real leadership falls by the wayside. In the Leadership Dojo, you'll learn how to build presence that works. How to be in the moment instead of just functioning.
    02.
    Leadership feels difficult
    You manage tasks. You coordinate teams. You solve problems. But are you really leading? You lack clarity about your vision, your attitude, your leadership style. Leadership feels exhausting. In the Leadership Dojo, you develop clarity about your leadership. What does leadership mean to you? What structure do you need—internally and externally? How do you communicate boundaries without hurting others?
    03.
    Keep up the pressure – but don't slow down afterwards
    You can still perform in critical situations. But afterwards, you remain on edge. Difficult conversations linger in your mind. You lie awake at night, playing scenarios through in your head. Your body cannot relax. In the Leadership Dojo, you will learn active stress management. How to consciously wind down after stressful situations—in 5 minutes, in the car, at your desk.
    04.
    Always the same reaction patterns
    Why do you always react the same way in certain situations—even though you want to do something different? What beliefs are unconsciously controlling you? Traditional training programs give you frameworks—but the patterns remain. At Leadership Dojo, we work on the root cause. We remove blockages and regulate emotions—not through talking, but through work that your nervous system understands.

    "No time" cannot be the reason for strengthening yourself as a leader.

    Without targeted measures, change will stall: resistance will increase, projects will fail, and motivation will decline. The result? You won't achieve your goals and you'll lose valuable time. Our Leadership Dojo gives you the tools you need to overcome obstacles and strengthen your team.

    Leadership Dojo Day

    One day. Four phases. Maximum effect.

    Leadership Dojo Day is an intensive day that allows participants to experience leadership physically at the Karate Dojo Kelkheim near Frankfurt. No PowerPoint presentations. No flipcharts. Just what works.

    01.
    Arrival
    Take off your shoes. Bow. Get out of autopilot mode. The dojo is not a seminar room. Different rules apply here: respect, presence, openness. You arrive—physically and mentally. No esoteric stuff. Neurobiological regulation that works.
    02.
    Bodywork in the dojo
    Leadership is not just a matter of the mind. Your body is the message. We work—tailored individually to your topic—with:
    Bokken (wooden sword) or Jo (stick):
    How do you set boundaries? What does structure mean? How do you maintain tension without tensing up?
    Pushing Hands & pressure simulation: How do you react to resistance? Panic? Freeze? Or balance? We simulate attacks – no real blows, but you feel: "If I don't react now, I could get hit." You learn to perceive the pressure before it overwhelms you.
    Your body without aids: How do you stand? How do you move? Where do you hold stress? (Shoulders? Jaw? Breath?) How do emotions manifest physically—and what do you do with them? This is physical learning that your nervous system understands—not just your head.
    03.
    Your leadership topics
    Now it's getting specific. We work on your real challenges:
    Beliefs & Blockages
    Why do you always react the same way—even though you want to do something different? What unconscious patterns control you? We remove blockages. We regulate emotions.
    Vision & clarity
    What does leadership mean to you? (Not according to the textbook) What is your vision for your team? For yourself?
    Structure – internal and external
    Your own structure: physical, mental, temporal. The structure you build with your team
    Communication under pressure
    Pacing, leading, rapport—not as theory, but as experience. How do you stay clear-headed, even when things get dicey?
    Dealing with setbacks
    How do you deal with failure—your own, or that of others? Resilience is not toughness. It is flexibility.
    04.
    Integration and action plan
    What will you take away with you? We will create your personal plan:
    Daily 10–15 minute routine (breathwork, movement, reflection)
    Concrete steps for your next leadership challenges
    Tools you can use right away.
    Bow. You will leave the dojo a different person than when you entered.
