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.

Bieten Sie Coachings für Unternehmer an?

Der Schwerpunkt meiner Coachees sind Unternehmer aus dem Mittelstand. Meistens dient das Coaching der Vorbereitung oder der Begleitung eines Generationswechsels von der Eltern- auf die Kindergeneration. In solchen Nachfolgeprozessen nutzt sowohl der Senior-Unternehmern als auch der oder die Junior-Unternehmer:in das Coachingangebot.

Die Begleitung erfolgt über mehrere Jahre. Allerdings findet ein Coaching in der Regel nur einmal monatlich statt.

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.

Warum sollte ich als Geschäftsführer oder Unternehmer in ein Coaching investieren?

Ein Executive Coaching bietet Geschäftsführern konkreten Nutzen auf mehreren Ebenen. Hier sind drei Gründe, warum Sie als Geschäftsführer oder Unternehmer in ein Coaching investieren sollten:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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.

Time is a managing director's most valuable asset.

In times of crisis, the management of a company is put to the test. Managing directors are faced with unexpected challenges that require quick decisions and flexible adjustments. A key strategy for successfully managing companies in such times is to strengthen autonomy in management. Paradoxically, however, many managers react in exactly the opposite way during crises: they restrict the autonomy of their employees. This article sheds light on why autonomy in leadership is so important in times of crisis and why managers nevertheless often revert to centralised decision-making processes.

Autonomy in leadership: the decisive difference in times of crisis.
