What can you expect from the WaveMakers Method ?

With WaveMakers' "leading from the inside out" method you will be able to

Diversify your skill set

Including authentic leadership and effective communication to inspire your colleagues and stakeholders.

Walk away with new energy

More confidence and the ability to speak up and fight for what you believe in.

Transition into higher level

Positions, start managing a team, launch their own business, or make a bold career change.

Topics we will cover

As a WaveMaker, you will look at yourself differently. You will adopt a leadership mindset and feel more influential at work.

Week: Personality

You will start your personal leadership journey by reconnecting with your true self. A deep dive into who you are with your talents, values, and unique strengths.

Improving yourself is important, but week 1 of the WaveMakers program is focused on something that falls short all the time:
- Strengthen your strengths
- Discover your (hidden) leadership superpowers
- See what others see in you
You will go from being your own biggest critic to feeling more confident at work.

Week: Insecurities

You will get a better understanding of your inner barriers and everything that keeps holding you back. Plus tools to overcome self-doubt and impostor syndrome.

Now, we'll move on to the tough stuff. In this week, you will address your weaknesses and (perceived) limitations.
- Self-sabotaging behaviors
- Voice of your inner critic
- Dealing with failure
You will stop blaming yourself and identify healthy coping mechanisms to grow

Week: Mindfulness

You will reflect on your daily habits and understand your engerizers and motivators. Looking at your personal and professional lives for a better balance and focus.

This is the last week of looking at yourself only. Before we move on to your environment, you will set this important anchor.
- Being resilient
- Purpose and direction
- Motivation and de-motivation
You will feel less overwhelmed and create a clearer direction for your life and career.

Week: Unconscious Bias

You will evaluate your own biases and critically assess your environment. A new toolkit will help you recognize biases and overcome stereotypes.

You're part of a larger system of humans. In this week, you will acquire knowledge about the perceptual operating system.
- Perception vs. reality
- Common biases and stereotypes
- Re-directing bias


Week: Communication

You will learn to influence structures and relationships to empower yourself and unleash your full potential. Influence interpersonal dynamics and perceptions.

In this week, you will learn to communicate more effectively and acquire tools to manage critical relationships.
- Dominant personalities
- Giving and receiving feedback
- Toxic work environments
You'll go from frustrated to expressing your opinion, needs, and boundaries more clearly.

Week: Image & Exposure

You will gain new perspectives on putting yourself "out there" and start taking up more space with your authentic self and what you want to share with the world.

As you conclude your personal leadership journey with WaveMakers, you will lean into exciting new opportunities.
- Authentic Personal Branding
- Self-image vs. external perception
- Vulnerability and fears
You'll have developed a new self-image and found ways to externalize your inner WaveMaker.

WHAT OUR ALUMNAE SAY

VICTORIA STEIN

"The whole program was kind of like a wake-up call for me. That the only thing holding me back is actually me myself.
After realizing this, I started to look for job opportunities in a completely new field, applying without any experience in that space and I got a new job offer!"

YASH DAS SHARMA

“I wasn’t sure if I should join, because I didn’t have the financial resources. But I found out so much about myself, including what I could get paid for.A lot of changes happened after the program! There was a flow, a momentum and I even landed my dream job. I am a Program Manager at the Berlin Innovation Agency. ”

LAURA PASSOS SANTANA

FAQ's

Who is the WaveMakers Fellowship for?

The WaveMakers Fellowship is perfect for ambitious professionals eager to take their careers to the next level. It's designed for those who want to overcome imposter syndrome, embrace their authentic selves, and gain the confidence to lead with impact. If you're looking for top-quality resources, supportive mentorship, and a vibrant community to help you thrive, this program is for you.

The program is recommended for you if:

  • You want to excel in your current role and prepare for the next steps.
  • You’re transitioning into a management role.
  •  You wish to influence stakeholders without being authoritative.  
  • You’re an introvert who wants their ideas heard and valued.
  • You want to lead impactful teams and projects.

Join us if you're excited to transform your professional journey and make waves of impact.

Who is the fellowship  NOT recommended for?

The WaveMakers program is not recommended if you have less than 2 years of work experience or if you’re an experienced people manager (e.g., you’re a manager of managers). If you’re unsure if the program is a good fit given your role, just contact us.

How long is the WaveMakers Fellowship?

The fellowship kicks off with an immersive 6-week program focused on supporting you with your specific leadership challenges. During this time, you’ll dive deep into practical training, work on real-world projects, and develop essential leadership skills.

After completing the initial 6 weeks, your journey doesn’t stop there! You’ll get a full year of membership (the 6 weeks included) to continue growing and learning. This includes ongoing access to exclusive resources, advanced learning materials, and a supportive circle of mentors and peers. The year-long membership can be renewed, ensuring you have continuous opportunities for development and connection.

What is the time commitment and when are the live sessions?

The 6-week online program is designed to fit your busy work schedule. Each week you will:

  • Get access to new video content and join weekly live sessions on Tuesdays from 6-7:30 PM CET, where you'll exchange experiences, work through weekly exercises together, and participate in breakout rooms.
  • Attend optional expert sessions on select Thursdays from 6-6:45 PM CET to learn new strategies and frameworks, followed by an optional Q&A session (1 hour).

This commitment is for the first 6 weeks. Afterwards, it's up to you how much you engage. You can learn and grow at your own pace with monthly events, new videos and exercises, and networking opportunities.

Is the Fellowship only for women and underrepresented groups?

While our mission prioritizes empowering women and underrepresented groups, the Fellowship is open to anyone who seeks to develop their leadership skills and advance their career in an inclusive and supportive environment.

What kind of support can I expect?

You’ll receive ongoing support from the WaveMakers community team, access to a close-knit circle that understands your journey, industry experts and top-notch resources tailored to your growth and designed to help you maintain momentum and motivation long term.

What makes the WaveMakers Fellowship different from other leadership programs?

Unlike most leadership programs, the WaveMakers Fellowship isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. You’ll receive personalized feedback and guidance tailored to your unique career goals and challenges from the team and your peers. This ensures that what you learn will be directly applicable to your personal journey. The Fellowship also stands out because it focuses on continuous learning, constant connection opportunities, access to expert leaders, and practical, actionable, real-time advice.

How much  does  the Fellowship cost?

The Fellowship is an annual subscription. You can choose to pay in €39 monthly installments, totaling €468 per year, or opt for annual billing at a 20% discount, reducing the cost to only €375. We wanted to make sure to keep the cost affordable while still offering great value because we believe everyone should have access to leadership education. This flexible payment structure ensures that you can invest in your leadership development in a way that suits your budget.

Money Back Guarantee

We want this investment to be 100% risk-free. If you attend the live sessions, complete the exercises, and still don't find the program valuable, we'll happily refund your full payment within 14 days of the start of the program.
