TRAINING | Conscious leadership – programs for leaders
Discover the world of leadership!
Our understanding of leadership goes a long way to the definition and concept of conscious leadership, which is a new mindset for leaders to ensure sustainable success! This mindset can best be described as a growth mindset, which allows us to achieve anything as long as we put in the necessary effort, as opposed to a fixed mindset, according to which, our skills and talents are innate, and we cannot develop new skills. Leaders with a progressive mindset are pro-active, take responsibility for their own actions, learn from their mistakes, have a constant drive for improvement and thus, by personal example, inspire, motivate, engage and encourage their people to achieve sustainable results in the weather!
Perceptions and expectations of leaders have changed significantly in recent years. Topics related to leadership and organizational development are becoming increasingly relevant in organizations. To lead an organization and a team, charisma is not enough. Our programs aimed at developing the leadership qualities and skills of your talent, they can have a significant impact on the growth and competitive advantages of your organization. Furthermore, investment in the leadership potential of managers has a direct correlation to increased productivity, efficiency and engagement of employees in the long run!
We believe we have already piqued your curiosity! Find out more about our two innovative programs – Leadership Academy and Video-Leadership Program and contact us for more details. We at KATRO believe that everyone has the qualities of a leader, it’s just a matter of time and desire to discover and develop them!
LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

The Academy is suitable for:
- Young talents/recently promoted managers who need to develop their leadership potential

- Newly formed teams or employees at the middle management level who lead the processes in the organization and make key decisions
- Proactive employees who have the courage to deeply explore their leadership potential, discover their personal characteristics and push their limits.
How to become a leader?
Created on a modular basis, the academy consistently builds on topics and goes in-depth with each one. Each module has one main and several sub-themes that participants explore and experience, guided by an experienced facilitator and/or business coach.
How do we develop leadership qualities?
The methodology of the Leadership Academy is a combination of:
- Theory and practice – applied psychology and neuroscience
- Discussions and case studies
- Interactions and psychodramatic concepts
- Psychological and individual coaching support
- Homework and feedback
- Group sessions between modules to build on learning and discuss case studies.
- Group projects that participants initiate and implement to put what they have learned into practice.
Topics and scopes
- Leadership Awareness and Leader Effectiveness
- Communication skills and interaction
- Emotional intelligence of the leader
- Delegation and feedback
- Employee motivation and engagement
- Performance management
- Conflict management and mediation
- Formation and management of a team
After a preliminary diagnosis, the topics can be expanded with more modules and highlights that meet the specific needs of the participants. The diagnosis is based on our own coaching methodology: The Wheel of Leadership, which covers basic leadership skills and behaviors in each industry, and can also take into account the competency model for leaders in companies that have one.
Effectiveness and impact
The leadership academy at KATRO pays special attention to the analysis of the effectiveness and satisfaction with training in the short and medium term. Among the tools we use to measure effectiveness are an assessment of training satisfaction, an individual change tracking plan for each participant, a buddy system, and recommendations for management support.

VIDEO – LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Virtual and hybrid communication have forced new models of work and learning. Overload and lack of time are driving people to look for new, short online and video forms of learning that easily summarize current studies, research, case studies and theoretical models.
Together with Semperia Films, we have created a one-of-a-kind learning-in-a-bit format video training series: Succeeding in the New Virtual Reality and Leadership in Hybrid Environments – Challenges and Solutions. The idea was born from our experience with a number of companies, hundreds of international and Bulgarian studies, as well as internally conducted studies.
The miniseries has 2 seasons with 4 videos each, with which we present different situations and possible paths for positive change, affecting key moments of every leader’s daily life.
Who is it suitable for?
The video-leadership program is relevant for the development of both managers, team leaders and all people who are interested in the topics of management and leadership, personal development, leadership skills and team effectiveness, competencies of a successful leader, leadership and motivation of people , what is the influence of the leader on the team.

Check out the season one reviews:
” Хибридният вариант на провеждане направи възможно да постигнем над 93% присъствие на всички планирани за обучението, което в период на интензивна заболеваемост и работа по проекти считам за отличен резултат. Считам, че личният принос на лекторите допринесе за отличната обратна връзка от участниците и положителна нагласа за прилагане на наученото. Всяка една от темите беше адаптирана към фирмената култура, практики и текущо състояние на екипа, което увеличи ефективността на обучението и ангажираността на колегите към темата. Препоръчвам формата “мини сериал”, като изключително интересен, полезен и ефективен вариант за повишаване soft-skills уменията на екипа.”
Петя Димитрова – Ръководител Направление “Софтуер и услуги за УЧР”
“В продължение на 6 месеца реализирахме с нашия партньор КАТРО България иновативната Видео-обучителната програма за лидери „Успешни в новата виртуална реалност“. Програмата беше изцяло съобразена с опита и нуждите на участниците, обучителите демонстрираха високо ниво на експертиза и практически опит във всяка тема. Всички участници в програмата я оцениха като изключително полезна и приложима в практиката им на ръководители. Препоръчваме КАТРО като надежден партньор на всички компании, които биха искали да повишат дългосрочно компетенциите на своите служители.”
