  • ‘Self-reflection was probably the most important part of my JUMP. Exploring my own goals and potential – and asking myself: Where do I really want to go? Is a management role even the right thing for me?’

My JUMP
into action.

My JUMP in 2022/2023 marked the beginning of an exciting and rewarding journey that is far from over. I gained valuable insights and skills that have shaped my career – and the inspiration from our management and HR development in particular left a lasting impression.

Not long after, my mentor took me under their wing. I started as a project manager, and since the beginning of 2025 I have also been working as a team lead, taking on greater responsibility. In this role, I continue to benefit from the momentum and the strong network created by the programme.

What matters most to me now is being able to give something back: as a mentor, I support new participants in the JUMP programme and accompany them on their development journey.

JUMP has opened doors for me and encouraged me to embrace new challenges. It has not only helped me grow personally, but also broadened my career prospects. I look forward to continuing this journey – and to accompanying others along the way.

That’s what I call a textbook landing.

My JUMP experience was not only a step in my professional development, but also a very personal journey. The programme gave me a much deeper understanding of the many facets of leadership. It was exciting to build strategic skills while also sharpening the interpersonal side – especially emotional intelligence.

What I valued most was the exchange with colleagues from all kinds of professional backgrounds. It opened up completely new perspectives and inspired me to find creative solutions. The group discussions and team exercises were not just insightful, they also gave me a strong network of like-minded people I can rely on in the future.

Today, as Head of Operations, I can honestly say that JUMP has had a lasting impact on my career path. The insights I gained continue to guide me every day. And to anyone who hasn’t yet taken part, I have only one recommendation: JUMP!

How I met
my inner boss.

My participation in JUMP 2023/24 was a fantastic experience. I learned so many new and relevant things that I now apply in my role as a team leader. The training programme for the group was very broad – and what I especially appreciated was the chance to choose additional individual learning opportunities that covered exactly the areas that I found essential for my personal development.

The insights into different management positions at mst were also extremely valuable. Shortly after finishing JUMP, I moved into technical management – and the module on defining responsibilities as a project manager versus team leader was a real eye-opener for me.

One highlight was the final assignment: My first 100 days as a manager. The framework I developed there helped me consciously manage the transition into my team leadership role and gave me confidence in that crucial first phase.

All in all, I was able to acquire new skills – both personal and professional – that I simply wouldn’t have today without JUMP. And the network I built back then is still a huge asset: I can exchange ideas and get advice from colleagues on a wide range of topics. I’m really glad I took the plunge and joined JUMP!
