We believe leadership isn’t something you “wing” — it’s something you learn, share, and build over time.
At HCode, we support first-time leaders in their very first steps, helping them lay strong, lasting foundations for their leadership journey.
Too many employees are promoted into management roles without any real support. They’re expected to set direction, give feedback, handle conflict, lead meetings… yet no one has ever shown them how. The result? Disengagement, growing isolation, a loss of confidence, and mistakes that can be costly for both the manager and the organisation.
At HCode, we believe strong leadership is built from day one, with the right support at the right time. And for that, traditional training alone just isn’t enough.
Great management has the power to change career paths and transform teams.
At HCode, every action we take is designed to create tangible, lasting impact — for the manager, their team, and the organisation as a whole. Our ultimate goal? To create thriving workplaces where everyone can do their best work.
Leadership is too complex a journey to navigate alone.
We believe in the power of the collective: peer-to-peer exchange, safe spaces, and shared rituals. Because we learn best together, in a non-judgmental environment built on authenticity.
Leadership doesn’t have to be complicated.
Our approach is pragmatic, clear, and free of unnecessary jargon. We go straight to the point, with tools that fit seamlessly into the busy reality of first-time leaders.
You don’t become a leader overnight.
It’s a long-term investment, shaped by day-to-day experiences and nurtured by continuous growth.
To meet managers where they are, we offer a range of complementary formats that can be activated on their own or combined, depending on the needs of the organisation and the leader.
Our flagship online community for first-time leaders. A vibrant, structured space to learn from peers, share challenges, join workshops, and co-create better management practices. A supportive environment, far from the isolation of those early management days.
Confidential sessions with a professional coach to explore leadership challenges in depth, anchor key learnings, and strengthen leadership posture.
Tailored, on-the-job support that turns everyday work situations into real learning opportunities. A hands-on, customised approach with undeniable ROI — accessible with or without OPCO funding.
Small-group workshops where participants reflect together on real-life situations from the field and collectively build actionable solutions. A powerful tool for reflection and growth — one that remains largely underused in many organisations.
By embracing a human and progressive approach to leadership, we help first-time leaders to:
Build confidence in their leadership posture
Communicate more effectively
Mobilise their teams with clarity
Feel legitimate and aligned in their role
And the benefits extend to the organisation: lower turnover, higher engagement, and greater stability.
Founder
“After nearly a decade in the tech industry, I saw how often new managers were left to figure things out on their own — even in the most prestigious companies. This gap, far too common, is what inspired me to create formats that are accessible, sustainable, and deeply human to support them.
Today, I believe no one becomes a manager “naturally.” You become one because you’ve been given the opportunity to learn, to make mistakes, to share, and to try again.“
