Executive Coaching 1:1

Do you know the feeling of no longer being the person you want to be in the decisive moment?

You know all the strategies. You’ve read the books. And yet, in certain moments, you’re more reactive than you want to be, more exhausted than you should be, less clear than you could be. This isn’t failure. It’s biology. And biology can be trained.

No obligation. No sales pitch. Just 30 minutes.

This coaching is for you if…

◆

You carry leadership responsibility as a head of department, director, VP or business owner – and sense that you’re constantly running on reserves.

◆

You can decide clearly when things are calm – but under pressure you notice that the reflex is faster than the plan.

◆

You want tools that work in the real business world – not in the seminar room.

◆

You don’t want to change your leadership style – but to strengthen the biological foundation you lead from.

What really lies behind difficulty making decisions

Most of the leaders who come to me have already tried a lot. Time management. Mindfulness. Coaching. Sometimes it helped in the short term. But the situations that matter – the escalation call at 5 pm, the budget meeting with the board, the conflict with your own boss – still don’t go the way they should.

It isn’t a question of willpower. It’s that under real pressure the nervous system shifts into a state in which the strategies you’ve learned are no longer within reach.

“After three months, for the first time in years, I decided clearly again – without being exhausted afterwards.”Translated from German

That’s the aim: not more knowledge, but a nervous system that stays steady under pressure – and gives you access to what you can already do.

What we work on in the coaching

1

How your nervous system responds under pressure

We look at what happens in your nervous system under pressure – and which patterns have formed. Not as a diagnosis, but as a point of orientation for the training.

2

Training nervous system regulation

Body-based methods (Buteyko breathing techniques – my craft – and exercises aimed at the nervous system) that you can use within a few minutes – before a meeting, after a difficult conversation, in the middle of the night.

3

Leadership behaviour from a stable foundation

We work on the specific situations that challenge you – with my HR experience behind us. What does this team need? What does this board need? What does this moment need?

4

Understanding and changing patterns

In-depth, systemic work on the patterns that have formed over the course of a leadership career. Not as therapy, but as understanding – and as a foundation for lasting change.

The programme runs over three months with regular coaching sessions (online, or in person in the Stuttgart region). Frequency and format are agreed individually – usually we work together fortnightly.
Yes. Many clients pay for the coaching from their employer’s training budget. I issue the appropriate invoices. If you have any questions about invoicing, we can go through them in the introductory call.
Three levels at once: body-based nervous system regulation (working directly with the body’s stress response), 20 years of HR experience (business relevance from the other side of the table) and in-depth systemic coaching (lasting change). Classic business coaching usually addresses only the cognitive level – and so misses what really matters in high-pressure situations.
Because we start somewhere else. Not with strategies you forget in the moment of stress, but with the biological response that decides whether those strategies are within reach at all. This isn’t another tool – it’s a different approach. Whether it suits you is something we can find out in the introductory call – with no sales pressure.

30 minutes to show whether we’re a good fit

No script, no sales pitch. An open conversation about where you are right now – and what would really help.
