Overview
You’ll have sessions people stay with, a simple way to run them consistently, and follow-up you can use to reinforce the same expectations week after week.
I’ll confirm the aim and audience on a short call, then I’ll run the workshops and give you a clear follow-up you can use internally. You’ll get training that holds attention because it stays practical and job-linked, with a plan you can repeat.
I start by pinning down the few behaviours that need to change on the job, then I design the session around those moments. I’ll tailor examples and exercises to your context, but I’ll keep the build contained so you get training, not an open-ended consulting project. In the room, I facilitate firmly and keep the pace moving.
Who you are working with
I’m Katharina Leitner, a corporate trainer. I build and deliver staff training programmes for managers and teams who need the same message to land across different rooms. My background is in workplace training delivery and session design, so I spend as much time on what happens in the room as I do on what’s on the slides.
Clients bring me in when they can’t afford a “nice session” that changes nothing on Monday. I keep sessions practical, I name the awkward moments directly, and I manage group dynamics instead of hoping they behave. You’ll see it in the way the session is run: clear ground rules, short activities, and decisions captured as you go so follow-up is possible.
Recent projects
A few recent staff training programmes I delivered for busy teams who needed the same standard to stick across groups.
Portfolio
New manager training rollout. A manager essentials series delivered across multiple cohorts. I used one core session plan with controlled tailoring per department, so each group covered the same expectations, language, and day-to-day tools.
Handover and shift comms reset. Onsite workshops for operational teams after repeat handover misses. We rebuilt the handover routine, practiced it in-session, and agreed what “good” looks like so supervisors could reinforce it on shift.
Workplace conduct and GDPR basics. Virtual instructor-led training sessions that covered day-to-day conduct boundaries and GDPR basics in plain language. I used short scenarios and decision points so people practiced what to do, not just what not to do.
“The sessions stayed practical, and our managers actually used the tools the next week.”

My approach
You’ll know what’s happening before delivery day, and you’ll have a consistent way to run the same session again if you need extra cohorts.
1. Training needs call Week 1 I run a focused interview call to pin down the aim, the audience, and the moments where work goes wrong today. I’ll ask for the few real examples you’re comfortable sharing, plus any internal language you need reflected. You’ll leave with a clear session goal and a draft outline. 2. Session build Week 2 I build the session plan and slides, including exercises, scenarios, and the wording you want managers to use. I’ll send a version for your review and I’ll take one set of edits, so the build stays contained and you still get tailoring where it matters. 3. Pre-work and setup Week 3 I send participant pre-work and joining notes you can forward as-is. For onsite delivery, I’ll confirm room setup and any materials needed. For VILT, I’ll confirm the platform, links, and how you want attendance handled, so there are no surprises on the day. 4. Delivery and follow-up Week 4 I facilitate the session, manage the room, and keep it anchored in real work situations. After delivery, I compile feedback and the key decisions made in the room, then send a short summary you can use for internal reporting and manager follow-up.
Fees
Pick the tier that matches how many sessions you need to run and how much consistency you need across groups. These are starting points based on the four-week run-up.

Next steps
If you want to lock in dates and get the first cohort moving, this is all that needs to happen.
1. Sign the proposal to confirm the scope and the schedule. 2. Pay the 50% booking invoice so I can start the build. 3. Share your key context and examples on the training needs call.

Payment
I book staff training programmes once I have a signed proposal and the first 50% payment. The remaining 50% is due when the engagement is complete. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date.
What I need from you. To build sessions that land, I’ll need a single point of contact, access to any relevant policies or process notes, and a participant list. I’ll also need timings, platform details for virtual sessions, and a room booking for onsite work.
Changes to scope. If you add sessions, change the audience, or want a different format after the session build starts, I’ll confirm the impact on dates and price in writing before I continue. Small wording tweaks inside the agreed session plan are included.
Scheduling and access. You’ll confirm dates before Week 2 starts so I can build to the real room and timebox. For onsite delivery, you’ll make sure I can access the room 30 minutes before start for setup and early arrivals.
Participant pre work
I’ll send pre-work and joining notes in Week 3. You’ll share them with participants at least five working days before delivery so people show up ready, with the right links, logins, and any required reading done.
Delivery day conduct. I’ll facilitate the room and manage participation, including skeptics and dominant voices, by using clear timeboxes and structured discussion. You’ll nominate an internal sponsor for each session who can back the purpose and handle internal follow-ups.
Confidentiality. I’ll treat what you share in the training needs call and in sessions as confidential and I won’t reuse your internal examples in other client work. If I need to reference outcomes externally, I’ll ask first and keep it non-identifying.
Materials and ownership. Once the final payment is made, you can use the slides and participant materials internally for your own teams. I keep ownership of my underlying templates and frameworks, and you won’t resell or publish the materials outside your company without permission.
