Leadership Coaching for Executives:
Confident in your
leadership role

You are responsible for a team or department and accountable for results. For you, leadership means more than assigning tasks: you provide direction, make decisions, and take responsibility for what follows.

Demands of your leadership role

Perhaps you have taken on a new team, stepped into a broader role, or are navigating a challenging situation. Conversations and decisions have real impact—and some issues continue to stay with you after work.

Leadership does not stop with your own team. You are balancing expectations from senior leadership, dynamics within the organization, and responsibilities beyond your immediate area. How you show up shapes how your role is perceived.

What you gain from leadership coaching:

  • Clarity about your role and self-image
  • Confidence in your presence and decision-making
  • Inner stability – even in challenging situations

When your leadership role becomes more complex

Your role now demands more of you than it did before. You may have taken on additional responsibilities, or you may be leading a team that is highly competent but not always easy to align. Conversations become more demanding, expectations more varied, and coordination more complex.

You handle many things well. And yet some situations stay with you longer than you would like. You notice yourself reacting more often than you would prefer.

To the outside world, you appear confident. At the same time, you may be asking yourself questions that rarely get space in day-to-day leadership:

  • How can I strengthen motivation and commitment within the team?
  • How can I create more clarity in expectations and collaboration?
  • What influence do I personally have on the dynamics?

Leadership begins on the inside

The more demanding the role, the more important your way of leading becomes. Leadership is not based on position or expertise alone. It grows from inner clarity about what you stand for, how you make decisions, and how others experience you.

This clarity does not come from additional methods alone. It develops through conscious self-leadership: reflecting on your role, your strengths, your motivators, and the impact you have on others.

Not every challenge in a team is a team issue. Change often begins with your own stance, with unspoken expectations, or with the question of how clearly you embody your role.

  • What do you stand for in your role—and is that clearly visible to others?
  • What goals are you pursuing—and what is getting in your way?
  • How do you handle pressure, conflict, or conflicting expectations?

In leadership coaching, we work with specific situations from your everyday leadership practice and with clear goals. This helps you gain clarity and feel more confident in your role.

A clear framework for your leadership development,
next step, next level

Leadership coaching requires clarity—both in content and in the way we work together.

Our collaboration begins with a no-obligation virtual first consultation. In about 30 minutes, we clarify your concerns, discuss possible goals, and determine whether working together makes sense.
We then define the scope of the engagement.

  • What specifically would you like to work on?
  • How will you know that you are making progress?

We agree transparently on the initial goals, fees, and general terms and conditions and set them out in a contract. Depending on the situation, the coaching is initiated either by you or by your company. In the latter case, we coordinate the goals and organizational matters in a three-way conversation with HR or your management team. The content of the coaching remains confidential.

The process typically involves six to eight sessions over several months. Sessions take place online, at your company, in my office in Rösrath, or at the Rotonda Business Club in Cologne or Düsseldorf. We work on specific situations from your day-to-day leadership experience: focused, practical, and with your role in the bigger picture in mind.

At the end, we reflect on your progress and ensure that you can apply what you have learned in your daily work.

What changes in day-to-day leadership

Coaching becomes visible not in the conversation itself, but in your everyday leadership: in meetings, when making decisions, and in challenging situations.

Typically, three changes become noticeable:

  • A clearer stance and a more confident presence
  • More active shaping instead of merely reacting
  • Greater composure under pressure and conflicting expectations

“I originally wanted coaching because I thought I needed a few practical tools. Instead, I came to understand how my own attitude influences situations. This has made a noticeable difference to my day-to-day leadership—particularly when managing expectations and conflicting interests.”

I know the reality of your role

Leadership coaching only works at eye level. You are responsible for results, lead people with different personalities, and navigate the expectations of your team as well as the requirements of senior leadership—often under time pressure.

I know this reality from my own leadership experience. Before becoming a leadership coach, I spent around ten years in leadership roles at the international strategy consulting firm Simon-Kucher, most recently as a director. Leading under pressure, managing former colleagues, and handling challenging conversations were part of my own leadership practice.

Since 2010, I have been supporting executives and decision-makers across different industries and contexts. I understand the professional and personal challenges that come with these roles.

As the former president of the German Federal Association for Business Coaching (DBVC), I combine my own leadership experience with coaching expertise at a senior professional level.

In leadership coaching, I take a practical, focused approach with a clear understanding of organizational reality.

FAQ

Will the content remain confidential?

Yes. Our conversations remain between us. Details are not shared with supervisors, Human Resources, or third parties. Confidentiality is the foundation of our collaboration.

What happens if my company hires a coach?

In this case, we first clarify the goals and organizational framework together. If helpful, a three-way conversation with HR or senior management can be arranged. The substance of our coaching remains unaffected and confidential.

How much time should I set aside?

We typically work together over several months, with six to eight 90-minute sessions either in person or online. The exact schedule depends on your needs. The goal is tangible progress—not ongoing support.

Does coaching touch on personal matters?

Only to the extent that they are relevant to your leadership role. Leadership coaching is not therapy. Personal aspects are addressed only when they influence your impact and your actions, and always in a transparent way.

What if I realize it's not a good fit?

Leadership coaching depends on voluntary participation and a good personal fit. You can end the coaching relationship at any time. A brief wrap-up session helps ensure a clear transition.
