Boost your management skills and impact as a leader or coach
Leading with Obeya (LWO) has had additional training and certification since 2025 that are relevant whether you work with Obeya or not. We now offer these as well. These are in-depth training courses that you can start with immediately (even without Obeya knowledge or experience) that help you as a manager or coach to perform the 5 leadership tasks with your team more effectively.
These trainings are based on empirical research into the issues that leaders and coaches find most challenging in their practice and tuned to help them excel in these fields.

Performance and Indicators
Effective indicators are essential to support your strategy, achieve your goals, and measure what truly matters. Without the right indicators, you measure noise instead of results. In this training, you’ll learn how to develop powerful, practical indicators that help your team make better decisions and set sharper priorities.
Start with your entire Organization
Obeya Transformation
Do you want to work as an organization towards a culture of transparency, improved strategic alignment, and effective execution?
Then consider an Obeya transformation as an organization, where multiple teams or departments start working with Obeya. This requires a structured, programmatic approach with good preparations and appropriate internal communication.
Obeya Coaching & Training has successfully guided several organizations through an organizational transformation where working with Obeya was the starting point. Contact us for more information.
Start with your entire Team
Obeya Team Kickstart
Strategic plans that end up unused and the feeling that meetings are unproductive are common sources of frustration. With the Obeya Team Kickstart, we break this cycle and emphasize clear goals and concrete actions. Over three days, the entire team will work on creating a ready-to-use Obeya, either digital or physical. We also set up a new, universally supported meeting structure with clear roles, expectations, and goals.
