FAQs

Before signing up

  • In general, you might benefit from coaching if you:

    • want to develop new skills or improve existing ones

    • seek an objective perspective on your challenges

    • have specific goals but are unsure how to achieve them

    • need help with time management, prioritization, or decision-making

    • feel stuck or unfulfilled in your current situation

    • or if you simply need clarity to move forward

    LeadLearnGrow specifically, is a leadership coaching program for new, emerging, and experienced leaders aiming to enhance their leadership skills.

    It is designed for individuals stepping into a new leadership role (possibly for the first time) that want to set the base for their leadership and advance on their journey to becoming the best leader they can be.

    As every situation is different it is best to have an initial free discovery call to understand where you are at, what you are looking for, and how I can support you best.

  • We have individual coaching sessions on a weekly basis. For each session, we decide on a topic and set a goal to work towards. There are topics all my coachees go through – leadership style, expectations, structures, and feedback. Of course, if something is not relevant to you, we can skip it and change course. For example, if you are already clear on your values, we can move to the next topic.

    Additionally, there is room for current challenges. If something urgent comes up, we can dedicate a coaching session to that and continue with the other topics in the next session.

    While everyone engages in the same program, the actual coaching can vary greatly. In general, I introduce you to tools, concepts, and exercises that form the basis of the program. In the coaching sessions, I listen, ask questions, look for patterns that might need unblocking, and share different perspectives. This helps you make decisions that are right for you and advance you on your leadership journey.

    We can discuss additional coaching needs in our free discovery call.

  • Yes, absolutely. I work with individuals and organizations to enable and develop new, emerging, and experienced leaders. If you are interested in working with me to develop leaders in your organization, let’s have a free discovery call so we can both understand what is needed and what our partnership looks like.

    I find it useful to also speak with the individuals who will receive the coaching to get a better idea of what their needs, challenges, and objectives are right now.

  • We will have our weekly sessions online. You will receive a calendar invitation for each session with a link to a meeting room.

  • Online coaching offers the same structure as in-person coaching, including scheduled sessions, goal setting, progress tracking, and feedback. What really makes the difference for your coaching success is the commitment you bring to the coaching overall and to each individual session.

    There are additional benefits to online coaching. It is more convenient and flexible, reducing the need for travel and making it easier to fit into your busy schedule. It also allows you to work with me even if you are not based in Berlin or Germany. Lastly, it let’s you maintain regular sessions regardless of any travel, relocation, or other disruptions.

  • In order for coaching to be effective a good coaching relationship between coach and coachee is important. Therefore, I have a free discovery call with all potential clients to get to know each other. In the call we clarify your situation and you coaching needs and I can answer all questions regarding the coaching program and me as your coach. From there you just need to trust your gut and make a decision that feels right for you.

    The coaching relationship is as a two-way street, so the discovery call is also for me to see if I believe I can help you move forward. If for some reason, that should not be the case, I will let you know and if possible refer you to someone else.

    If at anytime during the program you are not happy with my content or my approach, please let me know! I am here to support you and I don’t shy away when you want more or less of something. My job is to support you and your personal growth as a leader.

About the program

  • LeadLearnGrow is a 12-week leadership coaching program. You will have a weekly 60 minutes one-on-one coaching call with me. In between the sessions it is up to you how much time you invest to work on your leadership journey.

    You will typically take some concrete actions out of each session that you then put into action. To really make the most out for this investment in yourself, I recommend to spend an additional 1-2 hours per week on coaching topics. That might be exercises I provide you with, self-reflections, research or reading.

  • The program is set up for to advance on your leadership journey. The result depends on many factors, including where you are starting at, how much time you can commit, and your willingness to do the work personal development requires.

    The goal is that at the end of the program you:

    • Lead your team YOUR way with more self-confidence and less self-doubt

    • Understand your values, strengths, and weaknesses as a leader

    • Make quicker decisions and take faster actions

    • Have communicated your expectations and gained insights into your team's expectations of you as their leader

    • Have set structures to effectively lead your team and have more clarity about focus, progress, and results of their work

    • Have built trust with your team have them proactively seek your support

    • Proactively seek feedback to improve your leadership skills

    • Use methods to self-reflect and further develop your leadership style

    From my experience, individuals who achieve the most satisfying results show up prepared and fully present in every session, do the work between sessions, and integrate what they learn into their daily leadership. So, if you're truly committed to developing further as a leader you are on the right path.

  • The program typically starts at the beginning of each month. However, there is flexibility, so let’s discuss your needs in a free discovery call.

    Ideally, you can start the coaching sessions when you are taking on a new leadership position or transitioning to lead a new team. The program will help you establish a strong foundation to lead your team effectively and with confidence.

    You can also begin when you want to refine or change your current leadership style. Actively leading a team gives us real-time challenges to work on and improve together.

  • Between the two of us we agree on a fixed day of the week and a time. We typically meet at that same time each week. If that is not possible for a specific week, then we can agree on a different time for that week.

  • I don’t work weekends, but I offer a few evening slots. We can discuss details in a free discovery call.

  • Let’s discuss where you are and where you want to get to in our free discovery call.

    If we get a sense that there is more time needed then we could either set a focus for your sessions, e.g. an area you specifically want to improve and develop further, or we agree on a set of additional sessions to be added to the end of the 12-week program.

  • Generally, the coaching is happening in English. However, as a native German I can also offer coaching in German if that is more comfortable for you.

    Some materials or exercises during the coaching might be in English but I am happy to discuss them with you in German when needed.

  • If you cancel up to 24h in advance, we reschedule the session. If you cancel with less than 24h, you will have to pay for an extra session, which we will add to your coaching program.

  • If you cannot make a session because of a work trip, I will do my best to offer you a make-up session outside of our normal weekly schedule. Please let me know as early as possible so we can re-schedule.

  • Please let me know as early as possible when you are planning to be on vacation so we can arrange your sessions around that. We can typically find a different day during the week or add the session to the end of the program.
