Susanne Hellweg · Leadership Coach & Consultant for Tech & IT
I help people and organizations approach leadership with intention and make a meaningful impact. My work combines more than 20 years of experience in project, team, and organizational development with systemic coaching, personal development, and hands-on work with people and teams.
What matters to me is that new insights don’t stop at understanding. They become something you try, reflect on, and apply in everyday work.
When expertise alone doesn’t move people.
You might think: The direction is clear, so why isn’t everyone on board? What seems logical becomes complex when people work together. People see different risks, pursue different interests, or need different things to build trust.
Development begins when you go beyond making a better argument and start truly understanding other perspectives.
What do I address, and when?
The key question: Do I need to be clear now, or listen first?
In the Accelerator: You bring real conversations and tensions and try out concrete ways to express yourself.
At work: You can address what matters earlier without causing unnecessary hurt.
What is mine to own, and what isn’t?
The key question: Is this my pattern, a team issue, or an organizational obstacle?
In the Accelerator: You learn to distinguish these levels and recognize where you can realistically act.
At work: You take responsibility for your part without taking everything on yourself.
How do I come across, and how do I want to lead?
The key question: How can I provide direction and have an influence without disregarding myself or others?
In the Accelerator: You practice giving and receiving feedback in structured exercises. Together, you reflect on different perspectives.
At work: You develop your own leadership approach instead of mentally handing people leadership over to others.
The New Leadership Accelerator: Space to develop how you lead.
The New Leadership Accelerator gives you a structured space to work on these questions. You learn to better understand yourself and others, try new approaches, and develop your own way of leading through training, reflection, and a consistent group.
Who is the New Leadership Accelerator for?
For professionals and leaders who want to develop, approach responsibility thoughtfully, and strengthen their leadership impact.
You’re in the right place if one of these situations sounds familiar:
You want to make a bigger impact in your professional role.
You want to take on more responsibility, help shape decisions, and have an impact beyond your own specialist work. You want to understand different interests, support others, and provide direction even without formal management authority.
You’re preparing for your first leadership role.
You want to be well prepared for your new responsibilities. You want to understand what leadership really involves, develop your own style, and learn to approach people, relationships, and difficult situations with intention.
You’ve recently stepped into a leadership role.
You already lead a team and are discovering how varied and demanding leadership can be. You want to reflect on your experience, feel more secure when dealing with conflict and different personalities, and develop your own leadership style.
What connects you: You want to grow, take responsibility, and make a positive difference. You’re open to new perspectives, honest feedback, and questioning your own assumptions.
What you can develop in the New Leadership Accelerator
Explore these areas in the Accelerator and try new approaches in your everyday work.
Lead yourself with awareness
Better understand your strengths and behavioral patterns. Respond more thoughtfully under pressure and take responsibility with greater assurance, without needing to know everything or solve everything alone.
Shape communication and relationships
Approach difficult conversations with a clearer head, recognize conflict earlier, and address it constructively. Find ways to connect with people who think and act differently from you.
Make responsibility and leadership count
Stand behind your ideas without getting louder or becoming someone you’re not. Develop your leadership approach, provide direction, make more deliberate decisions, and support others in their development.
Leadership doesn’t mean having an answer to everything. It means learning to navigate uncertainty, different interests, and complex situations with awareness.

Experiences and insights
“I can take a step back now.”
“I now know that I can first take a step back and analyze the situation: What is happening? How do I want to respond? And how can I communicate so that others understand what I want?”

Interested in self-funded participation? You’ll receive all details by email after an initial conversation. Installment payments are available.
The New Leadership Accelerator is especially relevant to people working in Tech/IT functions in companies across all industries. You’re also welcome if you work in another area.
It is particularly suitable if you want to take on more responsibility in a specialist career, are preparing for your first leadership role, or are in your first one to two years of leading, with or without formal management authority.
What matters is your willingness to reflect, try new approaches, and actively engage in your development.
No. You don’t need to hold a formal management position or have led a team before.
The Accelerator is for people who want to take responsibility, or already do, and want to act with greater awareness, assurance, and impact.
All sessions take place online by video conference. You can join from wherever you are and easily exchange ideas with others.
Allow an average of two to three hours per week.
This includes the live group sessions, personal reflection, practical application at work, and the two individual profile interpretation appointments.
Over ten weeks, the New Leadership Accelerator combines live training, practical exercises, facilitated case discussions, and individual reflection.
We begin with training in the D, I, S, and C behavioral model. The areas of self-leadership, engaging people, and shaping leadership build on this foundation. Questions from your working life and the group’s experiences inform the sessions.
You’ll have opportunities to experiment and apply what you learn. Personal development depends on your participation, reflection, and practice, including beyond the ten weeks.
You can reflect on experiences from the previous session and try new approaches in your working life.
During the cohort, an optional WhatsApp group lets you connect with other participants, share thoughts and questions, and suggest topics or coaching questions for a future session. What we address together depends on its relevance to the group and the time available.
After the ten weeks, you can independently stay in touch as a group and exchange experiences. Ongoing professional facilitation is not included in the Accelerator.
For those who want to continue with professional facilitation, I’m planning the Navigate Leadership Circle: a separate, paid offering with shared reflection, real-world cases, and coaching insights. Details of the format and launch will be announced.
Each cohort has a maximum of 15 participants.
This leaves room for practical exercises, shared reflection, and different perspectives.
The next English-speaking cohort starts January 19, 2027. The German-speaking cohort starts January 21, 2027. The regular application deadline is December 23, 2026.
For you: Schedule a complimentary conversation with no obligation. You can ask questions about the program and explore with me whether the Accelerator fits your goals. If you’d like to join, we can discuss the next steps in the same conversation.
For companies: Request a proposal for individual employees or a dedicated company cohort. We’ll explore which participation option suits your needs and agree on the proposal and enrollment arrangements.
Your employer can fund your participation. The special price for company bookings in the January cohorts is listed in the pricing section of this page.
Interested in self-funded participation? We’ll discuss your questions in a complimentary initial conversation. You’ll then receive all pricing, program, and participation details by email. Installment payments are available.
Yes. You’ll receive a certificate of participation after completing the program.
You can share it with your employer or use it for, e.g., job applications.
You receive two personal 30-minute sessions dedicated to understanding your personality profile and leadership profile. These are profile interpretation sessions, not individual coaching sessions.
The main program is a group experience. You can suggest questions and situations for facilitated case discussions; a personal coaching slot for every individual case is not guaranteed. Additional individual coaching is available separately if you’d like to explore a topic in greater depth.
You can also book the New Leadership Accelerator as a separate one-on-one program. This option provides more space to explore your personal questions and leadership situations. It is offered separately and priced differently from the group program. You’re welcome to discuss this option in the Leadership Clarity Call.
People shouldn’t have to learn responsibility through avoidable conflict.
In my first leadership role, I had extensive professional experience but no protected space to reflect on difficult situations.
Later, across different environments, I kept seeing what happens when rigid thinking meets growing responsibility without training, coaching, or mentoring: People avoid conversations, conflicts become entrenched, and motivated people lose confidence.
The New Leadership Accelerator grew out of this recurring pattern.
I want to offer you the support I, and many others, would have valued earlier: personal, practical, and part of a group where you can grow with others instead of having to figure everything out alone.
Is the New Leadership Accelerator right for you?
Sometimes a personal conversation makes your next step clearer.
In a complimentary 30-minute Leadership Clarity Call, you’ll get an introduction to the program and space for your questions. If you’d like, we can also explore where you are now and what you want to develop.
We might already discover a thought that helps you see your next step differently.
Whether you want to learn more, discuss employer-funded participation, or are ready to join, we can cover it in the same conversation. I look forward to meeting you and exploring together whether the Accelerator is a good fit.
