I help leaders to
lead with Clarity and Purpose.

Helping decision-makers develop inner wisdom, transform leadership styles, and create lasting impact.

I guide decision-makers and leadership teams through transformation—with clarity, authenticity, and purpose. My work goes beyond traditional coaching by blending real-world leadership experience, deep listening, and practical tools that spark lasting, meaningful change. Whether you're stepping into a new role, navigating a transition, or breaking free from limiting patterns — I help you grow from the inside out, building the foundation for sustainable leadership.

Beyond Coaching

a holistic approach for guidance AND orientation

A Holistic Approach to Leadership

A leader is not an island but interconnected to his surrounding. I help ask the right questions and develop sustainable clarity.

Practical & Sustainable Impact

No one-size-fits-all solutions. Every individual receives a tailored approach designed for long-term transformation.

Real-World Leadership Experience

Former CEO and consultant in large-scale change management projects — I've been in the leadership seat myself.

Deep Presence & Awareness

My experience as a meditation teacher and year-long stay in a Buddhist monastery sharpened my ability to listen, observe, and guide.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE
THESE CHALLENGES

Leadership challenges you – at times loud, at times quiet. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, feeling stuck, driving change, or navigating transformation: every phase requires clarity, presence, and the strength to stay connected to yourself.

Stepping into a new role

You’ve just been promoted—or a new role is on the horizon. Whether you’re a newcomer, a seasoned climber, or making a bold shift, every transition brings its own complexity. The key is to navigate it consciously.I help you land with impact—through a clear roadmap, focused guidance, and tailored support for your new environment and its cultural dynamics.

Feeling stuck

Despite outer success, something feels off—paralysis, restlessness, or a lack of freedom. Deep down, you know something needs to shift, but you don’t know how.

There are usually two options: keep going as is—or take the courageous path toward change.I guide leaders in uncovering what’s blocking them—and open the door to new perspectives, inner clarity, and renewed direction.

Facing challenges

You’re facing challenges that feel overwhelming—strategic ambiguity, structural misalignment, cultural tension, or stakeholder resistance.

You have goals, but the path feels unclear. You want movement, but the system holds you back.

I help you reconnect to your own compass and find answers that truly fit you—not just in theory, but in practice.

Navigating change

You’re leading major change—and need to hold multiple layers at once: team dynamics, daily operations, future vision, and your own inner shift.

I support you in navigating transformation with clarity, structure, and depth—so you can lead from a grounded place and bring others along with you.

I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOUR TRANSFORMATION

While the world can be shaped by external forces, true empowerment lies in creating it from within, where your inner clarity and purpose shape your reality.

1:1 Guidance

True leadership starts with inner clarity. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, navigating change, or redefining your leadership approach, I provide the space, tools, and guidance to help you lead with clarity, authenticity and purpose.

Leadership Team Development

A strong team isn’t just about skills—it’s about trust, collaboration, and alignment. Through guided facilitation and leadership-team coaching we break down communication barriers, enhance teamwork, and align around a shared purpose and vision. I draw on my experience in supporting teams through these core processes.

Workshops & Retreats

Sometimes, stepping away from the daily grind is the key to breakthrough insights. My immersive workshops and retreats provide the time and space to reflect, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies for long-term transformation.

THE INSIGHT-OUT APPROACH

Outer clarity needs inner clarity - a process that allows aligned thinking, feeling and acting.

Clarity Starts With the Right Questions

How do I work?

A typical coaching engagement varies depending on your needs. It usually alternates between longer sessions and shorter focus sessions. The sessions are designed to foster inner clarity and self-leadership, with me standing beside you as a guide, questioner, network connector, sparring partner, and mentor—offering everything needed to navigate through your change. Each session includes exercises and consciousness practices as a natural part of the interaction, providing both structure and clarity. We maintain shared notes throughout the process to ensure a continuous, collaborative journey.

How do we start working together?

Before we start working together we need to find out if we are a fit. Therefore, we schedule a short call to get to know each other, getting clear on basic parameters and to agree on how we get started. There is no standard, it really depends on your needs and time available.

At the same time, I like to start with a longer session to create your personal map that incorporates what has shaped you, where you stand and where you want to go. As a personal mentor of mine used to say “What got you here, won’t get you there.” such a map helps us navigating through your personal journey together.

How long does a coaching engagement typically last?

The duration of a coaching engagement typically depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual. It ranges from brief, focused interventions addressing specific challenges, to long-term, ongoing support where I act as a trusted partner, guiding you through continuous personal and professional growth. Together, we’ll tailor the engagement to best fit your requirements.

Can leadership teams work with you?

Yes, leadership teams also benefit from my work. I bring extensive experience in leadership team coaching and facilitating leadership team processes—supporting greater clarity, confidence, and purpose in how teams collaborate. Together, we co-create team and company purposes, shape clear visions, and ensure alignment with strategies. By anchoring purpose, vision, and values, we foster a stronger, more cohesive dynamic that enhances collaboration and elevates collective leadership.

Who am I?

This is a journey—and it evolves constantly. For nearly a decade, I’ve supported leaders and leadership teams in unlocking their full potential through inner clarity and alignment—across more than 3,500 hours of coaching and team coaching sessions, from startups to corporates.

Where do I come from?

I have always loved immersing myself in diverse contexts. Over the course of more than 4 years, I worked as an advisor for climate protection and sustainable mobility in the German Bundestag. I spent several years as a management consultant with a focus on organizational development, and I was the managing director of an NGO and a transformation consulting firm. In between jobs, I took a personal break in a monastery to, as I call it, cultivate my mind. During this time, I not only meditated (Vipassana, or Insight Meditation), but later, I also had the privilege of guiding others in meditation. After a profound spiritual experience, I returned to Germany to follow my inner clarity and guide others in their development process. Training as a systemic coach, business coach, and in ideological conversation techniques rounded out my profile.

Where am I today?

For almost 10 years, I have been accompanying people and leadership teams through various transformation processes, always with the goal of strengthening their own clarity and consciously aligning themselves. With a rich blend of experience in leadership, business consulting, politics, and mindfulness, I bring a unique, holistic approach to my work. As a leader, and as a trained systemic coach, business coach, facilitator and meditation teacher, I combine practical insights with inner wisdom. My diverse experiences make it easy for me to immerse myself in different contexts. But my true strength lies in my presence. Through this, I create a space where something truly new can emerge. And the new – the inner clarity and alignment – does not come from me, but it is already within you. Our process simply makes it visible.

Das Coaching mit ​Stefanie hat mich ermutigt, in die dunkleren Ecken meiner Biografie zu schauen - was teils sehr schmerzhaft, aber letztlich extrem befreiend war. Das hat tief liegende Blockaden gelöst und mir sehr geholfen, der zu werden, der ich eigentlich schon immer war - und damit deutlich gelassener und im eigentlichen Sinne selbst-bewusster zu werden.
