The 4 pain points of power: where we start
Executive coaching is not "career training". It is a strategic instrument for leadership development to secure your position and your legacy.
- Loneliness at the Top: Honest, unvarnished feedback that nobody in your own company gives you (or is allowed to give you).
- Political minefields: Seeing through power games, forging alliances and neutralizing internal resistance - with sparring partners who are masters of politics at board level.
- Boardroom-Communication: Convince the supervisory board, analysts and the press. Train your presence and rhetoric under high-pressure conditions.
- Legacy & Succession: What will remain when you leave? We support you in strategic succession planning and your personal "Next Chapter".
Are you taking on a new C-level position? Use our special module Leadership role & effectiveness for the first 100 days.

Executive coaching in Frankfurt - sparring at the highest level
Frankfurt am Main, as Europe's financial center, places particular demands on executives. In an environment shaped by the European Central Bank, global investment banks, and DAX-listed companies, executives need more than traditional training – they need trusted peer-to-peer sparring.
Our Executive Coaching offers precisely this framework for sustainable leadership development.
What distinguishes our Frankfurt executive coaching is the combination of practical leadership experience and scientific foundation.
Our coaches have themselves held executive positions, supervisory boards, and international management teams. This experience enables them to... Coaching at C-Level, which goes beyond theoretical models and opens up concrete options for action in complex management situations.
The issues our Frankfurt clients address reflect the dynamics of the financial center: strategic realignment in volatile markets, change management in regulated industries, cultural integration after mergers and acquisitions, and the personal balance between high performance and sustainable health.
For each of these challenges, we put together a customized coaching program.
Discretion is a matter of course in executive coaching - in Frankfurt it is essential. Our coaching sessions take place in a confidential atmosphere, either on our premises in the Rhine-Main region or at a location of your choice. The combination of Career development and personal growth is at the heart of every collaboration.

When a managing director needs fast, strategic sparring on equal terms – without a classic coaching setting – we offer Confidential CEO sparring for managing directors and board members.

Questions on the allocation of mandates
How do you guarantee absolute discretion?
Discretion is our currency. We regularly work with public figures and DAX board members. On request, coaching sessions can be held at neutral locations, in the protected rooms of our institute (separate access) or Encrypted via video take place. We sign strict NDAs before the first meeting.
Can I change coaches if the chemistry is not right?
Yes, that is the decisive advantage of our institute over individual coaches. If, contrary to expectations, the matching is not a perfect fit, our quality guarantee applies: we will immediately and discreetly provide you with a new expert from our 35-strong board without you having to restart the process.
Do you also offer coaching on our premises (e.g. banking district)?
Yes, our experts will go wherever you need them - whether to your company headquarters, to the airport between flights or to the airport. International locations. We adapt to your beat, not the other way around.
How does the institute differ from traditional headhunter coaching?
Headhunters often use coaching as an additional product. For us, it is the Core competence. We do not offer standard programs, but surgical interventions for specific situations (e.g. the first 100 days, M&A communication, crisis intervention) by experts who have experienced these situations themselves.
How much does executive coaching cost at your institute?
The investment depends on the scope and seniority level of the mandate. For a classic executive mandate (6-12 months, twice a month), we are in the upper premium segment - comparable to a top management consultancy, but with a significantly higher personal impact. We will be happy to provide you with an individual offer according to the free initial consultation.
What methods do your executive coaches use?
Our coaches use evidence-based methods such as systemic coaching, neuroleadership, the LINC Personality Profiler and stakeholder 360° analyses. The methodological framework is individually tailored to the client - a CEO needs different tools than a chairman of the supervisory board. You can find out more about our tools at Coaching methods.
Do you also offer executive coaching for international management teams?
Yes, many of our clients are international. We coach in German, English, French and Spanish. For Intercultural challenges such as post-merger integration or global team leadership, we have specialized coaches with their own international C-level experience. Sessions take place on site in Frankfurt, at your Location or digitally.
