Leadership Coaching

Know Yourself—Even as a Leader

Executives have a demanding job. And the higher they climb, the harder it generally becomes for them to get honest feedback. The logic of hierarchy and the distribution of social power takes its toll.

As you advance in your career, it becomes increasingly important to know yourself—your blind spots, your reaction patterns, and, more generally, your own “modus operandi” when dealing with people, making decisions, and handling situations.

Let me also make it clear that when you book me, you’re not booking a “typical” executive coach who spent fifteen years in a line management role. I went into business for myself very early on, after having, among other things, managed international projects in a staff position for the COO of a software corporation. I consider this “weakness” to be my strength: independence, honesty, discipline, and a sense of humor, combined with immense psychological knowledge and experience, are my assets.

In total, you’ll benefit from over 1,500 hours of one-on-one coaching experience with executives from a wide range of companies and industries.

What kinds of issues do my clients come to me with?

• Operational overload (too many meetings, too many issues to handle at once, too fast-paced)
• Strategic Brainstorming (Testing Your Own Ideas in a Safe Environment)
• Career Counseling (What’s the Next Logical Step for Me?)
• Performance (improvement in dealing with people, situations, or decisions)
• Personal Issues (Existential Crisis, Divorce, Illness)
