SpringBoard - Individual executive coaching

A Necessity for Modern Leaders

In the hustle and bustle of daily life—constantly meeting the demands and expectations of stakeholders, and the pressure to avoid mistakes—it's easy to lose sight of what is crucial for success: reflection. You're always "on," with everything you do or say under scrutiny. Coupled with the pressure from (social) media, the essential act of reflection is often neglected. Yet, reflection is necessary to achieve your ambition. The time you invest in reflection is not wasted; it is scientifically proven to lead to improved performance.

Who Will Accompany You?

I spent a significant part of my career as an executive and board member. After earning a Master’s in Executive Coaching from Ashridge Business School, I now guide leaders in realizing their ambitions. My ambition is to provide leaders with the space to discover their unique qualities in freedom. My experience shows that they can often achieve much more than they think and do. You can too, regardless of what you have already accomplished. My role is to show you this calmly and help you experience how you can function more effectively within the constantly changing demands placed on you.

I understand the challenges you face because I have been in the same shoes as an executive and board member of large organizations. I also know the feeling of 'lonely at the top' and what you are going through. This mutual understanding allows us to quickly get to the heart of the matter.

During my time as an executive, I simultaneously faced a personal and business crisis. During this difficult period, reflection helped me and brought me to where I am now. It gave me the freedom to make my own choices and realize my ambitions. I want to share that knowledge, experience with you, and help you reflect in a meaningful way. This will help you understand what is important to you now, which questions need attention, and what your ambition is. After these two days, you'll be able to shape and define your role with new insights.

Our Intensive Collaboration: A Four-Step Reflective Journey to Achieve Your Ambition

Complementary personal introduction

For this intensive program, it is crucial that we feel a connection. To explore this, I offer a free introduction. We can meet at your office, I can accompany you to your next appointment, or we can take a walk. During this session, we will discuss your questions and see if I can help you further. If necessary, I will consider involving one of my partners to add value for you. If we both feel good about it after a night's sleep, we can start working together.

Preparation

In the weeks before you travel to Berlin, you will take an online test called the BluePrint. This 20-minute investment will produce a unique blueprint of you, providing insights into your behavior, leadership style, personality, and inspiration. We will discuss the results before the two-day session, sharpening and deepening your questions and goals. This way, we can get straight to work.

Two days Berlin

These will be two intensive days in Berlin, which is why I recommend traveling by train. The train journey gives you the opportunity to prepare and further explore your questions. Often, there is a deeper question that requires more attention. During the days in Berlin, whether on weekdays or a weekend, you will be the center of attention. Together, we will go through an intensive process that can involve discomfort, emotion, and even irritation. This is part of the journey. It's essential to experience that you have all the space and time to go through this process of (self) reflection. My questions, associations, and presence will help you.

I will help you, literally and figuratively, to catch your breath, reflect on where you are now, and ultimately, who you are, allowing reflection to occur naturally. Your breath is always there and helps you stay present. Breathwork takes you out of your head and opens the way to your body and feelings. By experiencing and giving meaning to your feelings, you gain natural access to a source of knowledge about what deeply moves you.

My experience shows that this intensive collaboration, with attention to both body and mind, leads to new insights that energize and guide you. This can result in a true transformation in behavior.

After these two days, you will board the train with a more balanced perspective on the issues that concern you, a deep understanding of your behavior and motivations, and an enhanced ability to shape and define your ambition.

The Following Months

The work does not stop after these two days; we will continue to collaborate intensively to ensure that the insights and changes you have experienced are sustainable and fully integrated into your daily life. Our collaboration, tailored to your needs, will consist of one extensive monthly session, with the option to schedule additional sessions as needed. I will be available for questions or reflections in between. This way, you will experience a transformation that is not only noticeable but also enduring.

Why Berlin?

Berlin is a city with a past, just like we have. It has developed under two different political systems over the past fifty years and now aspires to a shared future. For me, the fall of the Berlin Wall and its effects symbolize finding balance, a harmony between body and mind. Thus, it is an ideal setting for the two days we will spend together.

Financial Information

The initial program, consisting of the first three steps, begins with a complimentary personal introduction to ensure we are a good match. The second step involves the BluePrint Scan and pre-session discussion. The third step, which includes two intensive days in Berlin, covers all preparation, accommodation for two nights, meals, and a follow-up session. Please note that travel expenses to and from Berlin are not covered. For a detailed quote for the initial program, the first three steps, feel free to contact me.

Upon your return, we will create a tailored plan for step four, the ongoing support. This includes at least one comprehensive monthly session, with the option for additional sessions as needed. The price for this phase will be custom-made to fit your needs.
