Business & executive coaching
Apart from my program for new engineering managers, I also coach a variety of other concerns of employees and executives working in the software industry and elsewhere. But what is business and executive coaching exactly?
What is it?
Business Coaching is aimed at companies that want to provide their employees and executives with a sparring partner in order to jointly develop custom-made solutions for their very individual and highly demanding professional challenges in everyday work. Business coaching for managers is also often referred to as leadership or executive coaching (see further below).
When does business coaching make sense?
As a manager, for example, if you …
want a sparring partner for your daily complex challenges
are new in a leadership role and want support
want to recognize and develop the strengths and potential of your employees
want to appear more competent and self-confident
want to develop a better understanding of your role and leadership
want to clarify your leadership situation and leadership requirements
analyze and solve conflicts in your team
want to improve team cooperation
As an employee, for example, if you want to ...
optimize the start of your new job
learn how to better deal with a professional challenge
improve your communication with colleagues
work better with your boss
get a promotion and need support for it
prevent stress and burnout and achieve work-life balance
strive for personal growth in order to develop your full potential
solve an acute professional or private problem situation
Leadership and executive coaching
Leadership or executive coaching is coaching specifically geared to leadership topics for executives who need to find their way quickly and effectively in their new or current job in order to be able to fulfill corresponding role requirements and expectations in the best possible way. In the coaching we will do a multi-perspective analysis of your leadership and team situation so that you can find more clarity and orientation and navigate better.
With my background as Engineering Manager and Team Lead, I am able to empathize with the highly complex challenges of a manager's daily work. I am happy to accompany you or your managers as a sparring partner when it comes to developing custom-made solutions for individual leadership and team situations.
How does executive coaching work?
At the beginning of each coaching session, you define and decide what is currently most on your mind and where exactly you need support. To help you quickly I have leadership-specific methods and interventions available in addition to my general coaching repertoire.
Some topics we might work on:
Making leadership role models and values aware
Developing a leadership vision
Providing orientation - creating strategic direction
Understanding leadership responsibilities and role expectations
How does the role fit you?
Conduct a self-assessment to identify your strengths as well as areas for development
Analyzing your leadership situation
Analyzing the team situation
Analyzing and clarifying conflicts
…and much more
