  6. After each trip, the findings are collected and evaluated with workshop work. In this way, you establish the reference to your everyday leadership.
  7. By alternating exercises in the submarine and evaluation in the workshop area, the various leadership principles can be experienced, tried out and improved.
  8. In between, participants are given the opportunity to walk individually through our "reflection forest" and develop their own thoughts and goals through inspiring questions.
