Executive coaching (leadership coaching, business coaching, executive coaching) is precise, individual support that is tailored to your situation .
What does our joint entry look like?
As an introduction to our joint work, we would like to understand the following questions together: Where are you as a leader really in your leadership? In your personal development? How do you see yourself? How are you really perceived from the outside? What are your real issues? What prevents you from being really successful (or even more successful)?
In addition to a structured kick-off coaching session , we also use kdvi’s Global Executive Leader Mirrors (GELM, see illustration). This analytical tool covers the entire range of dimensions and competencies relevant to leadership, is calibrated and scientifically sound, also enables an external view of you (360°) and – this is the special feature of this tool – provides insights into the deeper background of your thinking, feeling and behavior (inner saboteurs, blockages, etc.).
Depending on the situation, we then work together on skills from the areas:
- Networking, customer and partner management
- Leadership of organizations
- Management of departments and teams
- Self-management
By working together, you will develop more calm, stability and security and strengthen your effectiveness as well as your ability to act and make decisions.
Fancy an initial consultation?
How do we then proceed?
The basis of our management coaching is individual 1:1 coaching – confidential, effective and focused on specific management issues. We also use tools such as on-the-job support (Silent Observer) so that our management coaching can have an even greater impact where it counts. For some of our clients, we also use peer learning in small groups in order to learn better from each other on leadership topics and broaden perspectives.
In coaching, we see ourselves as a catalyst and mirror and do not “teach” from above. We work in partnership with the credo: strengthen leadership, not replace leadership, and bring decades of genuine leadership experience to the table. Our coaching is based on modern, scientifically sound approaches (including resource work, conflict management, communication, personality models such as the ego-state approachand much more) – depending on the specific issue to be developed.
For example, we practise specific discussion formats together and develop routines that strengthen you as a manager. If necessary, we will tackle blockages and saboteurs. You will develop sustainable strategies for self-control and stress regulation so that you can always act with confidence. We work consistently on the transfer to everyday life – short iterations, exercises and routines that take immediate effect in day-to-day management.
Coaching takes place remotely and on site in German, English or French – depending on requirements and the chosen coach. The duration is flexible, ranging from a short intervention (a compact sprint) to a development journey lasting several months.
By the way: Is there an acute issue? Our 6-point emergency program helps with disruptions in leadership and your teams with measures that can be implemented immediately.
Who is our coaching for?
Coaching is an efficient and very effective method with which you can develop leadership strength along the above-mentioned leadership competencies.
Typical situations in which our support is requested are:
- New and experienced managers who want to strengthen their effectiveness and confidence.
- Managers in management teams undergoing change (strategic/structural changes, growth, turnaround, post-merger).
- Managers who want to build, stabilize or scale high-performance teams.
- Managers of teams in critical situations
- Support for conflict resolution, team stabilization
- Managers whose leadership role changes with their success and advancement – from manager to leader, from leader to leader-of-leaders, to C-level executive
- Managers who want to strengthen and improve their public image (externally, upwards, towards customers)
Our observation: Successful managers and successful companies use management coaching as continuous support for their top executives, just as top athletes are continuously supported by coaches.
What are the benefits of our coaching?
We are convinced that leadership coaching enables you to develop your leadership skills in a focused and efficient manner. Typical examples of how you can measure your progress in coaching include
- Clarity and focus in your role: You make good decisions faster, prioritize consistently and noticeably gain energy for the essentials. Your leadership is accepted and brings energy to the team
- Self-management & sovereignty under pressure: You recognize triggers for unwanted, automatic behaviour such as patterns (you go into fight, flight or freeze mode), you regulate pressure and stress, you remain in control of the process and thus always able to act
- Effective discussions & conflict competence: You conduct critical discussions clearly and appreciatively – with clean decisions and less friction. You resolve conflicts sustainably
- Leadership presence & trust: You create clarity, provide direction, but also give your team freedom and autonomy. This creates energy and motivation. You create closeness and commitment in which responsibility is assumed
We believe in measurable progress – goals, micro-routines, regular reviews – so your development becomes visible and tangible during our support.
