Flexible Licensing Options for Institutions
To accommodate different institutional needs and administrative preferences, we offer two flexible licensing models. You can choose between a per-user license, which includes individual access tracking and optional certificates of completion, or a flat-rate license, ideal for larger groups and minimal administrative overhead. Both options provide 12 months of course access and allow your researchers to learn at their own pace. Whether you serve a small international cohort or a large graduate program, we’ll help you implement the model that best fits your structure and goals.

A game-changer for me
This class encourages you to take an honest look at your work habits, reflect on your goals, and ultimately help you be more efficient (and staying sane).

Tim Puhlfürß
PhD Candidate
A clear recommendation!
I have actively incorporated the "Kiss the Frog" technique into my daily planning, always keeping the Eisenhower principle in mind to prioritize and carry out tasks.
I'm already noticing how much more effective my days are becoming and I reserve more time for important research tasks.

Larissa Hoefling
PhD Candidate
vivid and convincing
[…] what I took away most was a new perspective on time, work, and my own potential. I no longer ask: ‘How can I possibly handle so many tasks in so little time?’ but rather: ‘How can I use my time in the best possible way to serve my goals?’
[…] Thank you for all the personal stories — they made everything so much more vivid and convincing!
