Business Coaching Berlin & Systemic Coaching: Holistically out of the crisis
Between the government district and Silicon Avenue. We coach where decisions are made. Ex-DAX expertise for politics, tech & corporations. Berlin doesn't forgive slowness. Anyone leading here – whether in a ministry or a scale-up – is under constant scrutiny. We're not here to drink oat milk lattes with you. We are your safe space in the noise of the capital.
Berlin is loud. We are quiet.
There are thousands of coaches selling „mindset“ in the capital. But who really understands the mechanisms of power?
We coach the „adults“:
- For politics: We know the unwritten laws of the Berlin parquet.
- For tech leaders: We help founders (Series B+) to mature from „doers“ to real CEOs leading 500+ employees.
- The advantage: We are not part-time gurus, but experienced former board members and psychologists who know crises not only from books.
Our coaching formats
| Sector | Typical clients | Our focus |
| Tech & Scale-ups | Founders & C-Level (Series B+) | From founder to CEO. Managing scaling pain without burnout. |
| Public Affairs | Mandate holders & association heads | Power strategies, rhetoric and assertion in the „shark tank“. |
| Corporate Hubs | Innovation leaders & VPs | Managing between corporate guidelines and Berlin agility. |
The team: the „Berlin heavyweights“
When there's a fire, you don't need a theorist. You need someone who has already put out the fire.
- Heinrich von Pierer: (The epitome of business meets politics).
- Urs Meier: (Decisions under public pressure - perfect for Berlin).
- Lilly Fritz: (As a judge and president, she represents the authority that is often lacking in Berlin).
- Claudia Schick: (Media presence for politicians and CEOs).

Not a coincidence, but a system: your path to cooperation
Berlin's dynamism requires fast but highly precise decisions. Our onboarding is designed for maximum efficiency and absolute discretion.
Step 1: The diagnosis (free strategy meeting)
In a 30-minute video call, we analyze your initial situation. We clarify whether you need to establish management structures for your growing scale-up (Series B+) or whether you need strategic sparring in the political environment.
Step 2: Expert matching
No life coaches. We match you with an expert from our 35-strong board who knows your altitude and the pressure from their own experience (e.g. as an ex-DAX board member). You will receive a crystal-clear offer.
Step 3: The chemistry check & start
You get to know your coach without obligation. If the fit is right, we'll get started: Either at your premises in Berlin (Mitte / City West), absolutely discreetly in Frankfurt or highly efficiently via our secure remote channels.
Coaching in Berlin
In the capital, the line between success and failure often runs along the Spree. While local networks in Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg are often too close-knit, we offer you the necessary geographical firewall.
We coach you discreetly in City West, support scale-up founders on Silicon Allee or retreat to Potsdam for strategy sessions.
Our coaching team is there for you
Our board consists of 35 hand-picked experts. For Berlin, we have curated a selection of heavyweights who place seniority above hype - from ex-DAX CEOs to media professionals and lawyers. You don't book an off-the-shelf coach with us, but experience and knowledge at eye level.
Behind the institute is a network of 35 certified coaches. Each of them brings 20 to 25 years of leadership experience and 5,000 to 8,000 documented coaching hours. We will determine who is the best fit for your needs in an initial consultation. You can find all profiles here: Our team of experts at a glance.
