Typically people turn to us, when either confronted with a new situation or function, or confronted with increased complexity, are stuck in the status quo, want to overcome blockades or a mix of all this.
Others just want to take the advantage to progress as executives and develop their business skills with the support of an experienced or educated manager, mentor and coach. Goals may include one or more of the following:
- Solve work challenges by asking questions to help you think through
- Provide feedback on actions, decisions and achievements
- Anticipate how others may react to your actions, decisions and behaviour
- Guideance by sharing personal insights, learnings and experiences
- Understand your unique needs and align with your business setting
- Help understand where and how to make a difference
- Stretch beyond comfort zone to achieve more
- Candidness by telling you what others would be afraid to tell you
There are many coaches and mentors around – we focus particularly mainly on the pragmatic business and less the psychological aspect of support.
We help you to achieve personal development objectives or concrete business goal through systematic companionship.
Trust is the main element in that relation, that’s why it is crucial to have a first non-committal meeting. There we assess the mutual fit of your goal with our competence and common personal style.
There is a blurry line between business counseling, mentoring, coaching, business consulting and giving business advice – we can provide you with all. And that is why we tailor a mandate to best suit your goals and constraints. Mandates range from short punctual mostly problem-solving oriented encounters to continuous long periodic assistance and tutoring, mostly with the aim of personal development. Often mandates even include consulting elements (e.g. sourcing of information, preparation of presentations etc.). An offer document defines the goals, scope, approach, estimated effort and fee.
Usually your time and availability are scarce – we are open to serve you in off-office hours including weekends. We also adapt the means of encountering and communication using modern forms of communication like teleconferencing and the like.
