Change Management on Leadership Level

Executive Coaching: The Response to today's Leadership Challenges

Leaders face growing demands and numerous roles:

Even the best leadership training cannot prepare for the diversity of roles and the demands of everyday life on the job. Not to mention the growing demands of a young generation of workers ("Gen Z") or the workload "juggling" due to the constant skill shortage. Could this perhaps be the reason why less and less people are willing to take on a leadership position?

Effective Leadership redefined: Success through Coaching

I support new and experienced leaders individually (in presence or online):

  • In the famous first "100 days"
  • With challenges in the team
  • Moderating a leadership feedback from the team
  • With a change of perspective, as a non-judgemental, non-interest driven and discreet partner – a perspective that top executives often lack

After thirty years as an employee and self-employed consultant in corporate structures and in large medium-sized companies, I know both the entrepreneurial and the corporate political constraints in which managers are involved. A neutral view from outside helps to gain new perspectives and to "see more clearly".

My Understanding of professional Coaching

The word "coach" originally meant "carriage" and later became a term for tutors or trainers in the English language – the basic idea remained: to move or develop someone from A to B. "Coaching" refers to an interactive and person-centred support process that can include professional and/or private topics. In the process, the coach is a facilitator and encourages the coachee to develop his or her own solutions.

I have completed three qualified trainings in Germany and the UK. I work according to the ethical standards of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and make a very clear distinction between coaching (“You find your answers through my questions") and consulting ("I have the answers to your questions").

My most important insights from 20 years as a coach:

You have to (be able to) manage and know yourself before you manage others.

The knowledge of one's own values, imprints and beliefs is an important prerequisite.

Every leader should develop his or her own understanding of leadership, this is not a “copy & paste” approach.
