The Foundational Sprint: 1:1, four sessions
Your learning budget resets in January. Use it, or lose it.
Most personal learning and development stipends go unused each year, not for lack of worthwhile options, but because it's easy to hesitate, or simply forget, until the deadline has already passed. The Foundational Sprint gives you direct access to the kind of executive coaching senior leaders keep on retainer, for €1,075, funded entirely through the budget you already have.
What it is
Four 1:1 sessions with an executive coach, dedicated entirely to the real challenge you are facing as a manager right now. The same caliber of support senior executives rely on, applied to your specific situation.
What it isn't
Not a course. Not a cohort. Not months of open-ended coaching. A focused, structured engagement designed to fit within a budget that expires soon.
Who this is for
- You lead a team, whether it's your first one or your fifth. You were promoted for what you delivered individually, then handed a team to lead with no formal preparation for what the role requires. That gap doesn't close with tenure alone.
- You are navigating a specific, high-stakes situation right now. A difficult direct report, a team in transition, a step up you are still growing into. Real, not hypothetical.
- You want practical leadership skills, not another theory-heavy course. Tools you can put to use with your team this week, not frameworks to read about later.
How the four sessions work
Name the real problem
We start with what is happening on your team right now, not a generic leadership framework. One specific situation, examined closely.
Build your approach
We work through how you'll handle it (the conversation, the decision, the plan) before you put it into practice.
Try it, then adjust
You put it into practice between sessions. We return to refine your approach based on what happened, not what should happen in theory.
Make it repeatable
We close by turning what worked into an approach you can rely on again, for the next difficult conversation, not just this one.

"I highly recommend Inbal to anyone seeking strategic career advice and support."
"Recruiters who reviewed my CV later commented that it made it a lot easier for them to understand my skills and what I was looking for."

Questions before you book
What happens on the free intro call?
You'll share what you're navigating right now, and we'll talk through whether the sprint is the right fit. There's no pressure to book afterward.
How do I know if I have this budget?
Check with HR or your manager. Many companies offer a personal development stipend that isn't widely advertised. If you're not sure, it's worth asking.
Does this need my manager's approval?
Usually the same process you'd use for a course or conference. Check your company's expense policy for professional development spend.
What if my situation doesn't fit neatly into "leadership"?
Most real management problems don't. The first session establishes the actual shape of the issue rather than fitting it to a template.
What happens after the four sessions?
Nothing is owed beyond that. If ongoing coaching makes sense, we can talk about it, but the sprint is designed to stand on its own.
Your stipend doesn't roll over.
€1,075 for the sprint. The same coaching senior leaders keep on retainer, funded through the budget you already have. Start with a free 30-minute intro call.
