Available Workshops
All workshops can be adapted to your team size and needs.
🎯Adaptive Management: Creating Focus in the Chaos
Adaptive Management: From Focus to Survival to Growth. When the environment changes fast and the noise intensifies, team leads tend to get pulled into micro-management and firefighting. In this workshop we learn how to manage energy instead of just managing time.
📝Manager README Workshop: Expectation Alignment Without Guessing
Manager README: The User Manual for the Manager. Instead of having your team guess your management style, let's write it down. A practical workshop for creating a "source of truth" document that generates immediate clarity.
🕸️Growth Paths & Team Development (Spider Chart)
Growth Mapping: Building a Personal and Team Spider Chart. Employee retention starts with a sense of progress. We learn how to map each employee's strengths and the team's needs as a balanced "squad".
💬Effective Communication: Leading with Clarity (DISC Model)
Effective Communication in Dev Management. Misunderstanding is the #1 cause of frustration in teams. Using the DISC model and internal locus of control to turn communication from an obstacle into a powerful management tool.
Why Me? The Intersection of Development and Facilitation
Technical DNA (15 years in the industry)
I'm not an outside consultant who studied theory. I'm a manager who grew from the code. I started as a developer, led teams, and I know firsthand the pressure of delivery and the dilemmas in code review. I speak your teams' language.
Deep Familiarity with Scale Challenges
I've experienced the field at every size: from an intimate startup of 10 people to operations of over 1,000 employees. I understand how management problems change as an organization grows and how to adapt solutions to your current stage.
Proven Facilitation Skills
Beyond technical experience, I have a rich background in leading human processes. I've led over 10 retreats and expeditions, which allows me to "hold the room", generate attention and openness even with skeptical audiences.
Eye Level
I don't arrive as a "guru" who knows everything, but as a growth partner. My approach is based on creating a safe and authentic space that allows managers to bring their doubts and questions without fear.
What People Say
הדר חזן
Team Lead @ Redis
Outdoor Retreat Participant
"Chen's workshop created a moment of pause, connection, and precision for me. In a rare combination of patience, listening, and managerial depth, I left with meaningful insights."
אור מלכא
Senior Full Stack Engineer @ Gong
Gong Team
"Chen is the best manager I've ever worked with. Beyond his technical understanding, he has a rare ability to connect people and build a cohesive team. He personally invested in my professional growth, pushed me to take on new challenges, and created an environment where everyone feels valued and significant."
שני אלחרר
Engineering Group Leader @ Upsolver (Qlik)
Workshop Graduate
"Chen is an experienced facilitator who delivers content with ease. Even though I was familiar with the topic, he sharpened its importance — not just through his own delivery, but through group activities that created a live demonstration of why maintaining a Manager's README actually matters."
עמית בנדור
CTO | AI & Engineering Executive
Outdoor Retreat Participant
"Chen knows how to create a precise space that allows you to both enjoy yourself and dive deep. The combination of meaningful content with open, honest dialogue was simply excellent. I left with a wealth of insights."
גלעד שוהם
Dev & Open Source Leader @ Bit
Outdoor Retreat Participant
"Chen created a unique space that allowed us managers to disconnect, connect with nature, and learn from one another. His initiative to organize a trip combining hiking with peer-led content (like the 'Saying No' workshop led by one of the participants) was spot-on. Chen knows how to build a community, bring the right people together, and create conditions for rich, productive dialogue."
מור פז
R&D Director @ Port.io
Workshop Graduate
"I'd been familiar with the Manager README concept for a while but never picked up the gauntlet. The workshop was the push I needed. Chen delivered the content excellently, and I got all the tools to create my own README — and even take the concept further to the other team leads in my company."
אור ממן
Senior Full Stack Engineer @ Gong
Gong Team
"Over two years under his leadership, Chen demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, technical expertise, and genuine care. He created an environment where the team felt empowered, which allowed us to deliver complex core features with a strong sense of ownership and partnership. He's a manager who sees the people just as much as he sees the code."
מתן חלד
DevOps Team Lead @ Port.io
Workshop Graduate
"As a new manager, the workshop made a lot of sense to me. The most significant insight I left with was the importance of clarity with the people I work with — they need to understand exactly what I expect of them, not guess. That insight is worth more than any technical tool."
יחיאל דהן
Team Lead @ Tipalti
Workshop Graduate
"Chen brings rich, real-world management experience. His workshops don't just provide genuine value and practical tools you can apply immediately — they also create an open dynamic and meaningful connections among participants."
