Strong & Gentle
Deep. Sustainable. Measurable. Leadership Coaching.
For teams and leaders.
Leadership is not a technique.
It is an inner state.
What I Do
I support leaders and teams through a structured development process that combines:
Deep personal insight (Enneagram-based)
Practical leadership application, practicing key concepts and tools
Measurable progress over time (Leadership Pathways from Totally Morpheus)
Leadership coaching must be both internally transformative and externally accountable with real impact on teams and outcomes.
That is the standard I work to.
When work asks more of you.
Despite hard work progress can stall.
You feel exhausted, frustration, self-doubt and tension.
These moments signal a chance for growth.
With my leadership coaching….
… you experience less struggle.
When we struggle, we often keep doing the same things hoping it all gets better if we just try a little harder. Coaching turns this exhausting process into a gentler way. You grow stronger - in yourself.
… you save time.
Coaching accelerates the real life learning that only experience can teach – the kind that builds maturity. Life will teach you these lessons anyway, coaching helps you learn them in a gentler way, making you feel stronger faster.
… you follow a focused leadership path.
This is a gentle approach that helps you first and formemost to feel strong as a leader. It is not about impersonal standards but and unreachable leadership ideals. It is about uncovering where you stand, how leadership works, for others, the business - and most importantly for you. We work towards building your specific leadership capacity and success will follow. We can even measure how you change and grow.
… you uncover your leadership genius.
Together we work out what your strength - or your leadership genius. We identify what key qualities as a leader we need to work on to make a difference fast. We follow a clear direction and we can measure progress.
…your team grows with you.
When you as a leader work from awareness instead of stress-triggered reactivity, your calm clarity ripples through your team. More trust is built. Conversations become real. Agreements hold. Results follow.
…you are held with gentleness & strength.

If my words resonate…
… let’s start a conversation
to explore expert leadership coaching,
or
to bring this work to your team, or to develop ermerging leaders, let’s discuss a tailored coaching process.
Why invest in coaching?
You are not funding a pleasant conversation.
You are investing in your leaders’ capacity to
think clearly, relate maturely and act effectively -
especially under pressure.
The personality and style of leaders shapes team and organisational culture. This happens mostly unconsciously. Culture determines how well people work together. It determines motivation, engagement and results. Investing in coaching is investing in a healthier, more productive organisation in which results are not simply left to stressed and unaware leaders.
