FAQ
About working together
Who is this coaching for?
I work with CEOs, C-suite executives and founders across industries—from founder-led companies to established organizations in transformation. What matters is real decision authority and the desire to create change.
How do we start?
We begin with a 45-minute discovery call to explore what you want to work on and whether we’re a good fit. If we decide to work together, we set up a recurring cadence.
What happens in a session?
You bring a real situation from your leadership role—perhaps a decision ahead or a conflict. We work directly with the inner friction behind it: the beliefs, emotions and habitual reactions that shape how you act. During the session, you experiment with a new way of relating to what’s happening within you. This can loosen entrenched patterns and create more clarity, freedom and connection.
Time commitment?
Sessions are 60 minutes. We start weekly and may later meet every two weeks, depending on what you need. Between sessions, there may be occasional experiments to try in your day-to-day life.
Where do sessions happen?
Online first; in-person intensives and onsites are available.
In what languages do you coach?
English & German.
Do you work with teams?
Yes — with cofounders, executive pairs and leadership teams.
