bwp Burggraf + Weber, Munich
Sabine Walter has been overseeing a generational change in our company for three years now. She does this with the highest level of expertise, clear objectives and consistent implementation. I am very pleased that I decided to give her this mandate. Without her support, we would certainly not be where we are today. She always justifies the trust I place in her.

"Winning qualified employees for my company was the first challenge. Forming a powerful team out of these employees was the second. And managing these employees successfully in the start-up phase of my company was the third challenge for me. Sabine Walter was a reliable sparring partner and coach for me in all three challenges. With her empathy, she very quickly created a basis of trust that gave me and my staff the courage to clearly leave our own comfort zone and thus grow beyond ourselves in a short time. We couldn't have laid a better foundation for our business start-up."
Renate Weiss, Managing Director
Manager in the field of marketing
Coaching starts where conventional approaches reach their limits. In just 12 sessions over five months, I was able to sustainably resolve professional issues that had been with me for years. Sabine Walter pursues a cause-orientated approach that makes it possible to achieve profound changes in an efficient and targeted manner. Her methodology is precise and practice-orientated and enables managers to develop their full potential. This coaching is ideal for decision-makers who are not just looking for short-term success, but want to move into the future in a sustainable and strategically stronger way.

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.

Change - Navigating change with confidence and communication
Change is rarely scary because of what it is - but because of the uncertainty it triggers. If you understand how Long Goodbye, Messy Middle and New Beginning work, you can support change processes constructively. Value-free communication, solution-focussed questions and the recognition of small steps forward help to defuse drama and restore orientation.
Leadership needs clarity and structure
Clarity and structure are the basis of effective leadership. Many managers avoid speaking clearly for fear of losing skilled staff - and risk the opposite: a lack of direction, a decline in commitment and the loss of the best employees. This article shows which structures and framework conditions help to create clarity and how to communicate clearly even in critical situations.
Separation competence - an element of effective leadership in a dynamic environment
In a world that is changing in ever shorter cycles, managers and organisations are facing key challenges. Strategies, structures, processes, decisions and competences need to be constantly scrutinised and reviewed for their effectiveness. Change is a constant flow of farewells and new beginnings. In order not to perceive this flow as a threat, but rather as a creative space, separation competence is elementary.
Dealing with conflicting goals with confidence
Managers are often required to juggle different goals that are not always in harmony with each other. How can conflicts of objectives be recognised and what options are there to reduce the resulting tension? What can managers do to avoid conflicts of objectives?
Managing director expertise: Making confident decisions in uncertain times
Uncertainty and complexity are omnipresent in our lives. More and more often, decisions have to be made under uncertainty. The ability to make decisions and thus act in a given situation is increasingly becoming a core competency.
In this article, managing directors receive impulses for more self-confidence and clarity in decision-making processes.
How employees become shapers of change: Impulses for successful transformations
One question that many managing directors of medium-sized companies ask me is: "How do we manage to pick up speed in our change processes without jeopardising day-to-day business?"
My answer to this is: small steps, co-creation, recognising progress.
Impulses for Personality Development
Discover potential - develop potential
I have just returned from a mother and son holiday in Japan. Not only was this holiday full of adventures and valuable experiences, it also opened up a potential in me that had previously been hidden. Street photography. How do we manage to find a login to our hidden potential? What does it take in everyday life to discover and develop new skills?
Soft skills are the new hard skills
In today's business world, it is no longer enough to simply have professional expertise and technical skills. The demands on managers have changed: Soft skills are no longer "soft" skills, but essential core competences that determine the success of a leader.
Back in the driver's seat - The path to more self-determination.
Are you self-determined? Yes? No? Good, then I'll ask the question differently: To what percentage are you self-determined? This question can be answered intuitively or after some reflection. Let's take the second path together and take the first step of this path with the question "What is self-determination?
