The stakeholder map forced me to stop treating HR and my lead as one audience. Slightly dense slides in module five, but the worksheet carried the day.

FAQ
Is this a legal service?
No. We provide planning and communication coaching. Binding interpretations of employment contracts, Tarifverträge, or medical fitness decisions require qualified professionals outside this program.
What if my employer refuses Teilzeit?
We prepare you to document the request clearly and to escalate appropriately. We cannot guarantee approval. A real limitation: some workplaces have hard operational constraints; the program helps you recognize those earlier rather than after a brittle promise.
Can my employer sponsor the fee?
Yes. We issue informational invoices for employer sponsorship after scope is confirmed by email.
Participant notes
★★★★☆
Rehearsal felt awkward — useful awkward. I still needed an external lawyer for a Tarif question the overview could only flag.
