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.
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.
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.
The scenario does not start from a fixed script. It takes shape around your topic, your context and what you expect to be difficult.
The door closes. The phone is gone. The physical setting makes the training more focused and closer to reality.
Word choice, tone and timing have consequences. Push too hard and you feel it later. Build trust and the situation opens up.
Not just a score. Concrete feedback on what worked, what slipped, and what to practise next.
It is not the conversation alone that creates the effect, but the combination of preparation, training, feedback and continued development.
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.
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.
Concrete feedback on what actually happened.
What built trust? Where did you become unclear? When did you lose direction? Concrete enough to use tomorrow.
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".
Lederboksen is not generic off-the-shelf software. Content, scenarios and feedback can be shaped by your organisation's own reality.
The assessment can build on your own guidelines, leadership principles and HR policy. The leader gets feedback grounded in what your organisation actually expects.
Topics and situations can mirror findings from employee surveys, feedback and internal measurements. The training hits where the organisation actually has challenges.
Scenarios can be adapted to the specific situations your organisation faces: mergers, restructuring, new system rollouts or product launches.
Realistic conversation training usually requires facilitators and planning every time. Lederboksen is ready for every leader, all year round.

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.
Skilled specialist. High absence over the past six months. Deliverables are slipping. Quick to become defensive.
Experienced employee. Struggling with new systems. Becomes insecure when she feels criticised.
Their collaboration has ground to a halt. Each believes the other is the problem.
Unease, resistance and uncertainty after news of restructuring.
You have noticed changes, but you are unsure what lies behind them.
A demanding relationship. Previous conversations have ended in frustration.
"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.
Demanding conversations require honest practice. For that, the leader must know this is built for development, not surveillance.
Employers must not use Lederboksen to assess individual leaders.
The training is there to give the leader confidence, reflection and development.
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.
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.
More about Mediafarm →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.
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.
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.
Norwegian (bokmål) is the main language. The counterpart understands and speaks natural Norwegian. We also support English and can accommodate other languages on request.
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.
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.
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.
Book a no-obligation demo. We will show you how a leader moves from preparation to conversation, feedback and continued development. 20 minutes. No commitment.
