Approach

Start with the managers carrying the growth.

Stefan Pietzsch, COO of LiveEO

New funding pushed LiveEO into a faster, more demanding phase of growth, and a layer of 35 middle managers became the place where strategy, culture, and delivery met. They needed a shared leadership language, not another content library.

HelloCircle came in as a long-term partner and worked with the C-level and HR leadership to diagnose what managers were actually struggling with, then kept diagnosing throughout the year so the program could move as priorities moved.

Solution

Short, sharp learning inside the workweek.

The journey ran as a modular, year-long program across three blocks: the high-performance manager, the resilient manager, and amazing workflows. Each block paired three focused masterclasses with an implementation phase and facilitated peer coaching.

Two cohorts, junior and senior, tech and non-tech, learned in parallel and came together at shared moments, including a leadership kick-off video and a closing work design workshop that turned the year's learning into concrete changes to meetings, hybrid practices, and ways of working.

Results

A management layer ready to scale the company.

Sessions rated 8.5/10 on average with a Net Promoter Score of 50, and engagement held for a full year against a demanding delivery schedule, a strong signal of relevance for busy managers.

The behavioral shifts are visible in the work: a common leadership vocabulary, more structured delegation and feedback, and calmer, clearer handling of change. LiveEO now has a scalable foundation for developing the next layer of leaders as the company grows.

“Short, sharp sessions that fit our workweek, and tools our managers actually use in the flow of work.”
