Lederboksen

Master the conversations that make or break leadership.

Preparation · Conversation · Feedback · Continued development

Lederboksen gives you a complete training programme for demanding conversations. You prepare for a specific situation, then hold the conversation in an enclosed room with a counterpart who reacts, hesitates, becomes defensive or opens up based on what you actually say. Afterwards you get concrete feedback and clear goals for what to work on next.

Why this is different

Not a course. Not a chatbot. Not role-play for a day.

Most leadership development gives you theory and solid generic exercises. Lederboksen gives you a learning programme built around your conversations, your challenges and what your organisation actually needs to work on.

/ 01

The whole training programme

Most tools give you one thing: either theory or an exercise. Lederboksen ties the whole programme together into a continuous learning loop that creates lasting change.

/ 02

Built on your own situation

The scenario does not start from a fixed script. It takes shape around your topic, your context and what you expect to be difficult.

/ 03

A room that creates focus

The door closes. The phone is gone. The physical setting makes the training more focused and closer to reality.

/ 04

The counterpart reacts to you

Word choice, tone and timing have consequences. Push too hard and you feel it later. Build trust and the situation opens up.

/ 05

Feedback you can actually use

Not just a score. Concrete feedback on what worked, what slipped, and what to practise next.

Training that resembles reality. In a format that can be rolled out widely.

How it works

One session. Four phases. Learning that continues afterwards.

It is not the conversation alone that creates the effect, but the combination of preparation, training, feedback and continued development.

  1. 01

    Preparation

    A digital coach helps you pin down the situation.

    What is the conversation about? Who are you meeting? What do you want to achieve? Your answers build a relevant training situation.

  2. 02

    The conversation

    The door closes. The phone is gone. It is just you and the conversation.

    On the screen you meet a counterpart who hesitates, becomes defensive or opens up based on what you actually say.

  3. 03

    Feedback

    Concrete feedback on what actually happened.

    What built trust? Where did you become unclear? When did you lose direction? Concrete enough to use tomorrow.

  4. 04

    Continued development

    Learning goals and suggestions for what to practise next time.

    The next session does not start from scratch. You build on the last one. Lederboksen follows your development over time, not just a single conversation.

Preparation → Conversation → Feedback → Continued development → New session. Continuous training, not "do it once and done".

Tailored to your organisation

Training that hits where you actually face challenges.

Lederboksen is not generic off-the-shelf software. Content, scenarios and feedback can be shaped by your organisation's own reality.

Organisational grounding

The assessment can build on your own guidelines, leadership principles and HR policy. The leader gets feedback grounded in what your organisation actually expects.

Scenarios based on your own data

Topics and situations can mirror findings from employee surveys, feedback and internal measurements. The training hits where the organisation actually has challenges.

Organisational change

Scenarios can be adapted to the specific situations your organisation faces: mergers, restructuring, new system rollouts or product launches.

What does Lederboksen replace?

Scalable conversation training. Without setting up a new course every time.

Realistic conversation training usually requires facilitators and planning every time. Lederboksen is ready for every leader, all year round.

Conversations leaders can train on

We practise least on the conversations that matter most.

Leaders are expected to handle demanding conversations professionally. Yet many face these situations for the first time when they are already in the middle of them.

Sick leave and follow-up

Steinar, 42

Skilled specialist. High absence over the past six months. Deliverables are slipping. Quick to become defensive.

How do you stay clear on responsibility and expectations while still building trust?
Performance feedback

Else, 63

Experienced employee. Struggling with new systems. Becomes insecure when she feels criticised.

How do you clearly address what is not working without the conversation locking up?
Conflict between employees

Marius & Tone

Their collaboration has ground to a halt. Each believes the other is the problem.

How do you keep structure when the conversation turns emotional and responsibility is unclear?
Change and reorganisation

Your team

Unease, resistance and uncertainty after news of restructuring.

How do you meet resistance in a way that creates direction, not more unease?
Wellbeing conversations

Anne, 34

You have noticed changes, but you are unsure what lies behind them.

How do you open a difficult subject without jumping to conclusions?
Difficult one-to-ones

Per, 51

A demanding relationship. Previous conversations have ended in frustration.

How do you balance demands, support, listening and clarity when the relationship is at stake?
The core
"The gap between theory and practice is not a knowledge problem. It is a training problem. You cannot read your way to handling pressure. You have to practise."

Lederboksen builds muscle memory through realistic training. So the leader is ready when it really counts.

Built for training, not control

Lederboksen has to feel like a safe space.

Demanding conversations require honest practice. For that, the leader must know this is built for development, not surveillance.

  • 01

    Employers must not use Lederboksen to assess individual leaders.

  • 02

    The training is there to give the leader confidence, reflection and development.

  • 03

    The organisation can gain anonymised insight into which conversation types and leadership challenges recur across leaders. Not who is struggling, but what the organisation should work on. That gives highly valuable insight for targeted measures.

Details on data storage, access and reporting are agreed with each customer before rollout.

Built by Mediafarm

Made by people who understand learning, conversation and communication.

Lederboksen is developed by Mediafarm in Stavanger, drawing on 30 years of experience in learning design, video production, conversation training and digital communication.

What matters most is not just the technology. It is the understanding of how people learn, how conversations lock up, and what it takes to make leaders more confident in practice.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most.

How much space does Lederboksen need?

About 4 m² of floor space and a power socket. The booth can sit in the canteen, the foyer, a meeting room or at a conference stand.

Which scenarios can we train on?

The standard library will include sick-leave follow-up, performance conversations, conflict between colleagues, reorganisation and wellbeing conversations. We also tailor scenarios based on real situations from your sector.

What does management learn about each individual leader?

Nothing at an individual level. Each leader's conversation and feedback is private. Management only receives aggregated figures by agreement: number of sessions, which scenarios were trained on, general patterns.

If you want individual reports as part of a leadership development programme, this must be agreed explicitly with the participants in advance.

What language does the counterpart speak?

Norwegian (bokmål) is the main language. The counterpart understands and speaks natural Norwegian. We also support English and can accommodate other languages on request.

How are privacy and GDPR handled?

Lederboksen is set up with clear agreements on data storage, access and deletion before launch. The training is meant to be a safe space for development, not a control tool. The final data model is documented in a data processing agreement with the customer.

What does it cost?

The price depends on duration, the number of scenarios and any customisation. Get in touch and we will put together a concrete proposal based on your needs.

Can we try before we order?

Yes. We offer a demo where you run through a training session of about 20 minutes yourself. It can take place at our offices in Stavanger, or online via a simplified version.
