Frequently asked questions
How do you work in executive coaching?
In the Managing Director Coaching programme, I support you in all aspects of your further development. In doing so, I look at you as a person and in your role - i.e. as part of the system in which you operate. The system can be the company, the management team or, in the case of family entrepreneurs, the family:
My coaching is systemically solution-focussed. Depending on the task at hand, sparring, counselling and small training sessions can be part of my work. I use all methods to support you in achieving your goal and thus further development.
Do you offer coaching for entrepreneurs?
My coachees are mainly entrepreneurs from the SME sector. In most cases, the coaching serves to prepare for or accompany a generational change from the parent to the child generation. In such succession processes, both the senior entrepreneur and the junior entrepreneur(s) benefit from the coaching programme.
Support is provided over several years. However, coaching usually only takes place once a month.
How much time should I plan for executive coaching?
It has proven successful to carry out coaching in small units of 60 minutes each over a longer period of time. Many managers and executives work with me every 3-4 weeks and receive support over the course of a year.
Why should I invest in coaching as a managing director or entrepreneur?
Executive coaching offers managers concrete benefits on several levels. Here are three reasons why you should invest in coaching as a managing director or entrepreneur:
- Sparring partner and honest feedback provider: With the coach, you gain a sparring partner and honest feedback provider. You rarely find this in your own company.
- Self-reflection and change of perspectiveA coach helps you to better recognise your own strengths and weaknesses and promotes deeper self-reflection. Both help you to develop as a person and in your leadership role.
- Impulses for the further development of the company: Many of my clients use their coaching to gain impetus for the further development of the company organisation or for upcoming change projects.
You can also find specific case studies on our "Book coaching" page.

Trusted sparring partner and executive coach for the management.
Sabine Walter supported the management of the mediaprint group for one and a half years as part of an executive coaching and sparring programme. The aim of the initiative was the strategic reorientation of a division and the development of digital products so that these would achieve a turnover share of 15%. In order to achieve this, it was essential to digitalise processes and workflows and make changes to the organisation, but above all to the way employees and managers think. Mrs Walter was a trusted sparring partner and executive coach for the management team during this successful change process. Personally, I was impressed by the way Mrs Walter adapted to each individual manager and their challenges while working towards a common goal with impressive clarity.
