Before you become a leader, success is primarily about personal growth.
Once you become a leader, success is all about helping others grow.
Jack Welch – CEO of General Electric
Only 16% of managers are effective, leading to an increase in “quitting in your head” while productivity and competitiveness decline.
Today, executives are under a great deal of pressure:
They are expected to provide direction, facilitate change, and successfully lead teams. However, in the demanding day-to-day reality of leadership, there is often not enough time to consciously reflect on and further develop their own roles.
The consequences are often unclear communication, uncertainty within the team, and untapped potential. The Leadership Workshop in Cannes empowers leaders to lead with clarity, trust, and IMPACT, thereby fostering motivation, collaboration, and performance in a sustainable way.
Targeted Solutions to Typical Leadership Challenges
Leadership training makes all the difference:
Leadership challenges often arise from unclear goals, a lack of a feedback culture, and inconsistency in day-to-day management. That’s why our practical workshop for executives helps you develop your leadership team’s skills in a targeted way, so that your leaders can lead teams more effectively and team performance improves over the long term.

The Cannes Leadership Workshop helps executives reflect on their leadership roles and develop them in a targeted manner. Participants strengthen their skills in communication, employee management, decision-making, and leadership so they can confidently overcome challenges and sustainably enhance their effectiveness as leaders.
The Cannes Leadership Workshop is designed for Swiss companies and organizations, as well as for leaders at all levels. It is particularly beneficial for members of executive management, division heads, team leaders, project managers, and emerging leaders who wish to develop their leadership skills and enhance their impact in their day-to-day work.
In the day-to-day realities of leadership, there is often little room for in-depth reflection, strategic thinking, and personal development. A leadership workshop held outside the usual work environment allows leaders to consciously step back from day-to-day operations and focus on their leadership role.
The inspiring setting in Cannes provides the ideal conditions for developing new perspectives, openly discussing leadership challenges, and collaboratively devising forward-looking solutions. The physical distance promotes focus, fosters interaction among participants, and supports sustainable learning and development processes that can be directly applied to everyday leadership situations.
Participants gain new perspectives on their leadership roles, further develop their personal leadership skills, and acquire practical tools for successfully leading employees and teams. This boosts their self-confidence, improves collaboration, and increases their effectiveness in day-to-day leadership.
The Leadership Workshop takes place right in Cannes. Away from the day-to-day business routine, executives are given the space to reflect on their leadership roles, gain new perspectives, and develop their leadership skills in a targeted manner. Through practical exercises, facilitated reflection sessions, peer exchanges, and individual coaching, participants gain lasting insights that can be applied to their daily leadership practices.
The inspiring atmosphere in Cannes provides the ideal setting for addressing strategic leadership topics, sharpening your focus on future challenges, and further enhancing your personal effectiveness as a leader. Upon request, we can tailor the leadership workshop to the specific needs of your organization and your leaders.

What Our Customers Say About Us
From startups to large corporations, benefitIMPACT has successfully supported and developed well over 250 national and international companies with effective training programs—in five languages:
“Over the past three years, benefit IMPACT has trained our sales, workshop, and parts service managers as they worked toward obtaining their leadership certification. The collaboration across the various training modules can be described as very successful, both from the Academy’s perspective and based on participant feedback. I would like to highlight the highly practical methodology and the high level of professionalism.”
“benefit IMPACT has been supporting us for several years in the development of our client advisors. The most recent project was ‘The Schroders Experience,’ which aimed to provide our clients with a holistic and honest advisory experience—from the moment they walk in the door through to performance. At the heart of the program were highly interactive, personalized training sessions with our client advisors. The training is methodologically based on the SAQ challenges and thus provides our client advisors with the best possible foundation for successful certification, which several of them already completed on schedule last year.”
“Working with Pascal Schwartz and benefit IMPACT is a pleasure and very professional.
From the planning stage through to the delivery of the training sessions, our wishes and needs were taken into account and implemented in a practical way. In both training programs—

“Fit in Sales Leadership”—the desired behaviors are not only discussed but also intensively practiced. The positive experiences gained from these training sessions support and motivate participants to apply what they’ve learned in their interactions with customers. The feedback has been consistently positive.”

“Between August and October, benefit IMPACT trained our store managers and assistant store managers to become sales ambassadors. Equipped with a benefit IMPACT Toolbox®, the store managers are thoroughly trained and well-equipped to coach their sales teams on the desired sales behavior as needed. The design and content are entirely practical and tailored down to the exact wording on the signs. It’s clear that benefit IMPACT understands the retail industry. The collaboration has been very pleasant for us as a project team, and this is reflected in the feedback from the stores. As a nice bonus, the program is already showing its first results.”

“So, you guys are seriously the best!!! ???? Absolutely amazing. Kudos—you’ve made my day! ???? I’ve really become a big fan of yours, and the feedback from our managers reflects that.”
“We conducted communication training sessions for our leaders with benefit IMPACT and are extremely satisfied with the results.
