Why the „lone wolf“ has had its day in executive coaching

The coaching market is full of lone wolves. The problem: if you only have a hammer, you see every problem as a nail. If you are facing a complex merger, no „life coach“ will help you. If you have burnout symptoms, no pure strategy consultant will help you.

The „Your Coaching Institute“ advantage: Agnostic competence We don't match you with the coach who has time at the moment. We match you with the expert who has already solved your problem.

  • Do you need political toughness? Talk to an ex-board member.
  • Do you need mental strength? Talk to a top sports coach.
  • Do you need clarity? Talk to a psychologist with a doctorate.

Our pool of experts: best-of-breed

We only admit the best. Our admission rate is less than 2%. Our team consists of three pillars:

1. the executives (those who were on top) People who were responsible for billions in sales and thousands of employees. They know the loneliness at the top not from books, but from experience. (including Heinrich von Pierer, ex-Siemens CEO)

2. the performers (those who can withstand pressure) Professionals from high-performance sport and the media world. They teach you how to deliver when the whole world is watching. (including Urs Meier, FIFA referee & ZDF expert)

3. the scientists (those who decode the mind) Psychologists, neurologists and behavioral researchers. They provide the methodological precision and ensure a lasting change in mindset.

Quality assurance instead of a stroke of luck

You don't book „just any“ coach with us. We guarantee a uniform standard of excellence.

Our entire team works on the basis of the Metatheory of change, the gold standard in professional coaching (recognized by the DBVC). This ensures methodical precision instead of wild actionism.

We combine the Psychodynamic depth experienced analyst with the strategic hardness of top managers. The result is not „nice company“, but measurable transformation for your most ambitious goals.

Our coaching team is there for you

As a demanding partner and challenging optimist, I form a VIBRANT CREW with family business owners or management with the aim of securing the future of the company through sustainable, healthy growth.

  • TEDxFHNW Lecture

For me, people and the issue of justice are essential topics in life. The better a person makes decisions, the more potential they can unleash. Making the right decision in extreme situations is something I was able to prove for many years in my career as a FIFA referee. Making a decision always means leaving something behind and experiencing something else instead. Conversely, this means being open to mistakes and accepting the consequences of every decision. Today, it enriches me immensely to be able to support other people, especially decision-makers in the business environment, with my experience as an arbitrator, entrepreneur, moderator and author. In my private life, I am an ambassador for Kindernothilfe Germany and Switzerland and for the Eigen-Sinn Foundation in Freudenstadt.

Respect is one of my values that has helped me to mediate or arbitrate many large deals. Understanding and respecting the motivation of the people involved has always been the backbone of all negotiations. The best relationships are based on respect.

Every consolidation crisis is an opportunity for companies to take a close look at the competitiveness of their value chain. The Cradle-The PLM process begins with a thorough PLM analysis, in which the sales opportunities, the best possible cost structure of each activity and the corresponding margins are evaluated based on global competitive analyses. The PLM analysis, especially in a crisis, leads to the realization that the internal and external value chain is no longer competitive. The consequence of this realization regularly means restructuring and repositioning. The associated far-reaching changes, from insourcing vs. outsourcing, strategic partnerships, M&A, divestment, process optimization, reorganization, re-skilling and cultural change, with the aim of achieving sustainable competitiveness in a timely manner, are part of my core competence. The journey to the goal is often complex in its implementation, labor-intensive and emotional, I am sure that I can help you to master these challenges successfully.

Change, quality and transformation processes are a recurring theme in my professional life. The triggers have varied: whether it was the need to increase productivity in production by transferring from classic single-station production to flow production, the replacement of traditional manual processes with CAD/CAM technology or the redesign of entire business processes initiated by new regulatory requirements. Time and again, it has been necessary to overcome fears of change, get employees on board, develop common goals and create the conditions for joint success.

    Foreign brands in China - blessing or curse?

My coaching career for German and Chinese managers of multinational companies began over ten years ago. Since then, international management has been one of my great passions and topics in coaching. How do I live and work successfully in a different culture? How do I lead a team, a project abroad, an intercultural team? How do I make important contacts? How do I speak to the media in China or the USA? I had to find out all these questions myself over two decades of living and working abroad. The fact that I speak Chinese for normal communication helped me in China. But that was not enough. One of my discoveries: Culture is a language of its own, and mastering it is crucial for success. Even if both interlocutors from different cultures speak perfect English, the understanding of what is being said is often different without an understanding of the culture. This often leads to major conflicts in teams, projects and business. In my coaching program, I integrate my diverse experience as a lawyer, entrepreneur, journalist and PR consultant as well as my international know-how from Shanghai, New York and London. I am never only concerned with visible cultural behavior, but always with a deep understanding of a culture. This not only leads to business success. By recognizing your own cultural behavior patterns, you also become a better manager.
