Our story
In 2023, Maikel founded LeadWise to make a positive contribution to employee happiness around the globe, which is highly affected by the quality of the managers and leaders employees work with.
Between 2013 and 2023, he was a successful sales leader at Google, known for his authentic style and customer-centric approach. Trained to become a successful manager at Google he realized not everyone has access to great training programs and resources to guide them in their leadership journey.
Together with experts in leadership development, Maikel created a new solution to lower the barriers - often time and money - to participate in management training programs.
With our innovative Emerging Leaders Program eLearning, new and aspiring managers can now get themselves prepared for their important jobs at a fraction of the time investment and costs of regular management training programs.
With only 15 minutes of weekly video content for a period of 10 weeks and at a competitive rate of €349, no one will ever need to start a management job without the right preparation any more.
Our mission
Driven by our belief that everyone deserves a great manager, our mission is to guide new managers globally to unlock their leadership potential, improve their employees' happiness and supercharge their business success.
