Executive Coaching
Leaders often come to coaching when the stakes are high, the path forward is unclear and they want to do the best thing for both people and performance.
What they are looking for is not advice, but a trusted thinking partner who understands both the personal and institutional dimensions of leadership.
Executive coaching with me is:
-
Contextual, grounded in the real challenges of your organization.
-
Judgment-focused, emphasizing how decisions are made and carried.
-
Strategically anchored, aligned with organizational and cultural realities.
-
Long-term, often alongside advisory or fractional engagements.
-
Confidential, in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the International Coaching Federation.
My approach draws on rigorous coaching training and psychological insight, translated into a form that is credible, practical, and accessible within senior corporate and institutional environments.

What executive coaching looks like:
Executive coaching engagements may include:
One-to-one coaching focused on judgment, decision-making, and influence.
Support during transitions, role expansions, or periods of heightened scrutiny.
Clarifying goals and the best way forward in high-stakes environments with multiple stakeholders.
Working through complex interpersonal and systemic challenges.
Integrating individual leadership work with broader organizational priorities.
I partner with leaders who are:
-
Carrying significant accountability
-
Navigating ambiguity and change
-
Balancing operational pressures with cultural expectations
-
Leading teams where coherence matters
-
Prioritizing human centred leadership and care about culture
How coaching fits within advisory work:
-
It takes place alongside advisory engagements
-
Advisory work may focus on strategy, culture, governance, or organizational dynamics. Coaching supports the individual leadership judgments and behaviours required to carry that work forward. Together, they create continuity, coherence, and trust
-
This integrated approach allows for deeper thinking and more sustainable leadership over time
​
​
Examples of coaching topics:
-
Effective communication with multiple stakeholders (board of directors, executive committees, teams) during change
-
Unifying teams around purpose, mission and values
-
Fostering positive cultures (in merger/acquiistion scenarios, transformations, complex situations)
-
Succession planning.
-
Personal career planning (planning longer term career and personal goals)
Cross-cultural coaching
​​I work fluently in English and German and bring a deep understanding of the cultural norms and expectations that shape leadership in German-speaking environments. This perspective is particularly valuable for leaders and organizations operating across cultural and institutional contexts, where assumptions about authority, communication, and decision-making may differ.
Work with me
Executive coaching is a partnership.
​
It's best initiated by conversation.
If you are a senior leader or team seeking to explore how executive coaching might support your work, you’re welcome to get in touch to discuss context, intention, and fit.
