Your organisation talks about New Work. Your leaders are still leading the old way.
New Work & Leadership Workshop — a one-day or half-day programme for managers and leadership teams in Berlin and online. Facilitated by Niv Nicolas Nowbakht, ICF-certified coach.
The gap between what organisations say and how they actually run is costing you talent, engagement, and trust. This workshop closes that gap — practically, not theoretically.
A Practical New Work & Leadership Workshop for Managers, Teams, and Organisations
This is for you if
Your managers want to lead differently
— but don’t have a shared framework or language for it
You’re losing talent to organisations that feel more human
— and the exit interviews keep mentioning leadership and culture
You want something that actually sticks
— not a keynote people forget on the drive home
This is what I hear most often

What happens when nothing changes?
The Best People Leave First
High performers have options. When leadership feels controlling, unclear, or disengaging — they use them. Quietly, then suddenly.
Middle Management Becomes a Bottleneck
Without a shared framework, every manager improvises. Some thrive, most drift toward what they know: control, pressure, avoidance. Teams feel the difference.
Culture Becomes Accidental
Psychological safety, autonomy, and purpose don’t emerge on their own. Without deliberate leadership behaviour, the default is compliance — not commitment.
Here’s How We’ll Build Leadership That Moves People
Together, we’ll cut through the gap between what modern leadership requires and what your managers are actually doing — and give them a concrete framework to lead with clarity, not pressure.
✓ 30 minutes, no commitment
✓ Get immediate insights into your situation
✓ Leave with actionable next steps
What participants take away
A Shared Language for Leadership
Participants leave with a common framework — New Work principles, leadership styles, motivation theory — that makes conversations about leadership concrete instead of abstract.
Clarity on Their Own Style
Each participant identifies where they are on the New Work compass and what they want to shift. Not a personality test — a mirror.
Practical Tools for Monday Morning
Coaching questions, situational leadership guidelines, and motivation levers that work in real conditions — not just in workshops.
One Concrete Decision
Each participant leaves with a written commitment, a peer conversation, and a first step for the next seven days.
Stronger Peer Connections
The peer coaching format creates space for conversations managers rarely have — about where they struggle, what they want, and how to support each other.
A Foundation for Cultural Change
One workshop doesn’t change culture. But it creates a shared reference point your team can build on — in 1:1s, team meetings, and difficult conversations.
Your Facilitator: Niv Nicolas Nowbakht
about me
Niv has been supporting leaders and organisations for over 12 years. His background spans communication studies, ICF-certified coaching, and work with leadership teams across diverse industries — in Berlin and internationally. His approach combines psychological depth with practical frameworks and a facilitation style that is warm, direct, and genuinely challenging. Participants consistently report leaving with more clarity — and more honesty — than they expected.
Common Questions
We’ve done leadership workshops before and nothing changed. Why will this be different?
Because the starting point is your group’s actual situation — gathered through a pre-survey before the day — not a generic curriculum. Participants discover the frameworks through their own experience, not through slides. That’s the difference between a workshop people forget and one they reference six months later.
Our leaders are senior and sceptical. Will they actually engage?
Senior leaders engage when the content is directly relevant to their reality, not to a generic leadership archetype. The peer format and pre-survey ensure the day feels built for them — because it is. Niv’s facilitation style is direct, peer-level, and grounded in 12 years of real leadership work. No corporate theatre.
How do I make the business case internally?
After our alignment call, you’ll receive a one-page brief covering the programme outline, investment, and expected outcomes. Most HR leads use it to move internal approval within two weeks.
In person or online — what works better?
Both work well. In-person is recommended for new teams or when psychological safety is still being built. Online works for distributed teams with an established working relationship. We’ll discuss what’s right for your group on the alignment call.
What’s the minimum group size?
8 participants is the minimum for the peer coaching format to work well. Maximum is 20. For smaller groups, contact me to discuss a modified format.
