Core
A focused process built around a clearly defined challenge or desired shift.
Development programmes
Structured development with clear direction and practical application
UpMe’s development programmes are designed for situations in which leaders, teams or organisations need to create a clear and lasting shift.
Each programme begins with a defined current position and a concrete objective. The work is linked to real situations, decisions and behaviours, with progress reviewed to understand what is changing and what impact that change is creating.
From goals to behaviour · From behaviour to action · From action to impact
Four distinct starting points
Four situations – four distinct development needs
The right programme is determined less by title or position than by the situation you are facing and the shift that needs to take place.

Explore the programme →A common foundation – different shifts
Leadership Transition is about establishing oneself in something new.
Leadership Effectiveness is about increasing impact in an existing role.
Leading Change & Transformation begins with a defined organisational change that needs to gain traction.
Commercial Growth & Execution focuses on commercial direction and the organisation’s ability to translate that direction into results.
In an initial conversation, we clarify the current situation, objectives and needs, as well as the type of development process that should be prioritised.
Programme levels
Scope aligned to need, complexity and the desired shift
Advanced
A deeper process in which several connected areas need to be developed, applied and reviewed over time.
Executive
A more extensive process for complex roles or organisational contexts, often involving sponsor collaboration and a stronger connection to wider business development.
How a programme works in practice
A clear framework adapted to the need
UpMe establishes a shared framework for objectives, delivery and follow-up, while adapting the programme to the participant’s role and the organisation’s circumstances.
Format and geography
Programmes are delivered online, in person or through a blended format. UpMe is based in Stockholm and works wherever the need arises, in Sweden and internationally. Engagements are available in Swedish and English.
Scope
Core is a focused process, Advanced provides greater scope for application and follow-up, while Executive addresses more complex roles and organisational settings.
Participants and sponsor
Programmes can be delivered individually, with several leaders or as part of a broader organisational engagement. In organisation-sponsored work, a sponsor may be involved in clarifying objectives and expectations.
Starting and reviewing progress
The process begins with a conversation about the current position, objectives and needs. Relevant objectives and indicators are then defined and reviewed throughout the programme.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before starting a programme
Answers to the questions that commonly arise before an engagement begins.
How do we determine which programme is right?
In an initial conversation, we clarify the current position, objectives, target group and the shift that should be prioritised. UpMe then recommends the programme and level that best match the need.
How do Core, Advanced and Executive differ?
Core is a focused process addressing a clearly defined challenge. Advanced provides more scope for several connected areas, practical application and follow-up. Executive is designed for more complex roles or organisational settings and often includes sponsor involvement.
How long is a typical development process?
The scope is adapted to the need. Core typically comprises 4–6 sessions, Advanced around 8 sessions and Executive usually up to 12 sessions, often complemented by sponsor or review conversations.
Can programmes be delivered online and in person?
Yes. Programmes can be delivered online, in person or through a blended format. UpMe is based in Stockholm and works wherever the need arises, in Sweden and internationally. Engagements are available in Swedish and English.
How do sponsor involvement and confidentiality work?
In organisation-sponsored engagements, a sponsor may help clarify objectives, expectations and organisational parameters. Personal reflections and the content of coaching conversations remain confidential. Sponsor reviews take place at an agreed level and focus on objectives, progress and next steps.
How is the coach selected?
UpMe matches the assignment with the coach’s training, professional background, experience and ability to work with the relevant role and situation. The aim is to secure both professional relevance and a productive client relationship.
Can programmes be adapted for teams or several leaders?
Yes. Programmes can be delivered individually, with several leaders or as part of a broader organisational engagement. Objectives, roles, shared elements and individual confidentiality are clarified before the work begins.
How is an engagement priced?
Price and scope are defined once the need, target group, programme level, delivery format and any sponsor involvement have been clarified. UpMe then provides a clear proposal covering the format and investment.
What happens after the initial conversation?
If there is a relevant fit, UpMe summarises the need and proposes the programme, level, scope, delivery format and next step. You can then decide whether to proceed.
The next step starts with what you want to develop or clarify
UpMe works with leaders, teams and organisations. The programmes can be delivered individually or as part of a broader organisational engagement.
