2024: A Year of Growth, Impact, and Collaboration As 2024 comes to a close, we want to pause and reflect on all that we have achieved together. This year was one of expansion- focused on scaling our global impact while staying deeply connected to the people and organisations we partner with. One of our biggest milestones was the creation of a Global Program function and Project Management team, designed to help us intentionally scale and deliver impactful results for more than 19 organisations in 12 countries. Together with our global team of more than 30 skilled facilitators and coaches, we delivered tailored programs to help our partners: ✔️ Drive organizational change and transformation. ✔️ Grow inclusive teams and cultures. ✔️ Build high performing teams and practices. ✔️ Enable teams to deal with difficult conversations and navigate conflict. ✔️ Reinforce Allyship as a way to unlock untapped potential. ✔️ Coach Executive leaders to increase their accountability and set the tone from the top. ✔️ Set the scene for future talent strategies to embrace AI and Emotional Intelligence. Expansion also meant refining how we continuously measure the impact we create. By enhancing our metrics, we tracked meaningful outcomes like impact, skill-level, confidence-level to apply new skills, contextual relevance, and sustainability of results. The real takeaway? Expansion isn’t just about numbers. It’s about finding better ways to connect, listen, and respond to the needs of our partners. Every milestone this year was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of the Hercules team. As we look ahead to 2025, we are proud of what we built and we are ready for more!

🚗✨Elevating Guest Experiences: Drive Innovation and Build High-Performing Teams🚗✨ In September, over 200 participants from Argentina and Brazil came together for a  transformative event in São Paulo that focused on prioritizing the customer experience. Through powerful experiential activities, we journeyed from awareness to action - fostering inclusive cultures and building high performing teams. With expert facilitation by Fabio and Carlos, participants experienced firsthand how inclusion multiplies engagement and team success. As Fabio shared, "Companies embody profound social matters, and leaders must play an active role in this regard. Being an inclusive leader is the key for developing a sustainable organization." Carlos added, "When you help leaders connect inclusive behaviors with their daily responsibilities, they realize the profound impact Diversity and Inclusion can have on team success." Key takeaways and insights: ✔️ From Client to Guest: Participants discovered the value of redefining the customer as a 'guest' to create more personalized, unforgettable experiences. ✔️ Breaking Paradigms:  Exceeding guest expectations isn’t a cost - it’s an investment in long-term success. ✔️ Inclusive Leadership for high-performance teams:  Participants explored how inclusivity fuels stronger, more cohesive teams. ✔️ Addressing Biases: Dealers recognized that diverse teams bring fresh perspectives, driving innovation and growth. Thanks to Fabio and Carlos for making this event such a success! 🌟Let’s explore how inclusion can transform your organization?🗣️💬 #Change #Leadership #inclusion #Diversity #HerculesCoachingGmbH #Equity #Coaching #HighPerformance #ClientExperience Carlos Esteban, Fabio Rosé and Michelle Holmes Albin

🌟Visibility without Cringe: Mastering LinkedIn with Self-Worth and Confidence 🌟 We are delighted to introduce our guest speaker, Josefine Wanner. Josefine’s journey is truly relatable and inspiring. When Josefine decided to leave her high-profile corporate job in 2019, she faced a daunting challenge: social media. She had absolutely zero presence- not a single post or like to her name. The thought of engaging on LinkedIn felt like stepping into unknown territory. But she didn’t let that fear hold her back. Fast forward to today, and Josefine has turned LinkedIn into her main social media platform. It has become her space for: ✔️ Generating most of her organic leads and clients. ✔️ Securing exciting collaborations. ✔️ Landing international speaking engagements. Josefine’s experience taught her that many entrepreneurs believe they have a sales problem, but what they often face is a visibility problem. By embracing LinkedIn- the least crowded social media platform- she was able to stand out and connect with an engaged audience. During our event, Josefine will share her personal insights and a simple 5-step framework that helped her navigate LinkedIn with authenticity, confidence, and without the cringe.. Josefine’s story is proof that we can all overcome our fears and leverage social media to create meaningful connections and opportunities.

🎉 Big Congrats to Our First CELDP Cohort! 🎉 After six months of learning, growing, and working together, the L&H Continental Europe Market Unit of Swiss Re became the first cohort to complete the Continental Europe Leadership Development Program (CELDP)! 🎓 This group of talented leaders dove into real business challenges, driving both personal growth and business results. The journey included: ✨ Three summits offered key moments for leadership development: ✔️ Launch Summit: Teams formed, self-awareness deepened through HBDI, and projects kicked off with action planning. ✔️Iterate Summit: Teams pitched initial ideas, received feedback, and reflected on key adjustments through agile learning. ✔️Pitch Summit: Participants refined their executive presence communicating with impact, pitching directly to key stakeholders, and learning how to deal with ambiguity through Q&A. ✨ Four learner-led master classes, covering everything from conflict management & resolution strategies, communicating with impact & influence, outsmarting imposter syndrome, to improv and agility in business presentations. ✨ Tons of collaboration, accountability, and action learning! Our participants didn’t just sit back- they took charge. They pushed themselves and each other to improve in areas like communication, influence, and agility in presentations. They made this program their own, and the impact speaks for itself! This cohort led the way in collaboration, accountability, and action learning. To our first SwissRe CELDP cohort: you’ve set the bar high, and we can't wait to see where you go from here. 🚀Special thanks to Augusto Diaz-Leante, the executive sponsor, for his dedication and commitment to the participants throughout this journey. #LeadershipJourney #Teamwork #GrowthMindset #ActionLearning #CELDP #LeadershipInAction #HerculesCoachingGmbH #SwissRE #LifeInsurance #leadership #coaching #change Michelle Holmes Albin, Nanna Taus, Dimitra Charisi, Hila Barak Asraf, Wiebke Neumann, Sandra Portmann, Oliver Felix, CFA, Aldo B., Luiz Bueno, Bertrand Cleuvenot, Johannes Rudolf, Marco Bozzolo, and Augusto Diaz-Leante
