Coaching Stuttgart & coaching training: Your career coaching
Transformation without friction losses. We coach automotive, SMEs and industry decision-makers. With the experience of Siemens & Co. Stuttgart is the engine of the German economy. But this engine is sputtering in transition. From combustion engines to e-mobility, from patriarchs to modern CEOs - the demands on managers in the „Ländle“ are brutal.
Why traditional consultants fail in the „Ländle“
Many managers in Stuttgart are excellent engineers, but insecure leaders. The result: micromanagement and teams that have resigned internally.
We solve the „engineer's dilemma“: We turn technical experts into real experts. Leader, that manage people as efficiently as their machines.
- The outside view: We are not part of the local cronyism. We tell you the truth that your employees are afraid to say.
- The flight altitude: We are familiar with corporate policy (ex-DAX board members) and the down-to-earth nature of SMEs.
Coaching for the maker region
| Format | Target group | The focus |
| Executive sparring | Board members & managing directors (DAX/M-DAX) | Winning political power games, sharpening strategy, loneliness at the top. |
| High-Performance | Automotive & Finance Leaders | Pressure resilience. When 80 hours a week is the standard. |
| Succession | Family business & heirs | Mastering the difficult succession in Bavarian SMEs. |
We speak your language (Value Chain & PLM)
You don't need anyone to explain to you what a „value chain“ is. Our board consists of practitioners:
- Fredrick Spalcke: Expert for PLM & Value Chain. He understands industrial logic like no other.
- Heinrich von Pierer: Former CEO of Siemens. He knows how to manage industrial giants.
- Tim S. Tabrizi: Leadership & culture - so that the „human factor“ does not become a risk.
Not a coincidence, but a system: your path to cooperation

Step 3: The chemistry check & start You get to know your coach without obligation. If the fit is 100 %, we start the mandate: either at your premises (Stuttgart, Böblingen, Sindelfingen), absolutely discreetly at our Frankfurt institute or highly efficiently via our secure remote channels.
