TO THE POINT

That’s the difference. Nothing vague, uncertain or inaccurate. I get to the point using my recipe of empathy and understanding to help you personally – for business and life.

WORKING TOGETHER

Why work with a coach?

It’s widely accepted that a coach helps you identify and focus on what’s important, which accelerates your success. The best coaches create a safe environment in which you’re able to see yourself more clearly; Identify gaps between where you want to be and where you are now.

Successful athletes and teams have always understood the power of coaching, just look at the All Blacks! Innovative companies understand that coaching can help career-minded professionals increase their performance at work and also improve an organisations financial performance.

One on One Coaching

We work together to support you to achieve your goals. You’ll get clear on where you are now, where you want to be in the future and how to get there.

Team Coaching

Building trust, using everyone’s personal strengths, and setting clear accountabilities. We work together to shape a team that is mission-complete and will reach its goals.

Strategy Workshops

Using Purpose, Vision and Values we create a strategic plan that motivates and has the full support of all the people in the business.

Leadership Development

As a founder of CoA Academy, I support leaders who want to learn to deal with any situation so they will safely lead an inspired team to excellent results.

Conflict Resolution

Diverse teams are more successful, and they have a higher risk of conflict. Together we resolve unhappy situations to unlock the real power of the team.

Cultural Transformation

“It’s all about the people” – and where people come together culture happens. Together we will evolve the culture that supports everything people in the company do.

Interactive Group Coaching Events
(Remote & Live)

Here’s how you can hire me for perhaps the most interactive remote (and Live) coaching events you are ever likely to experience.

Sounds like a really big claim doesn’t it?

 

Well, during these ‘remote-working times’ I’ve developed what I call ‘Remote Coaching Magic’ here’s a very brief overview of how it works:

It’s a truly collaborative process. I bring together the minds and brainpower in the room and multiply them (like a super computer) in a uniquely interactive way. This process enables everyone to finally arrive in the same place and then to be able to go out and achieve their individual goals and the mission of the company through a mix of Purpose, Vision, Values and Strategies.

So, let’s do it – trust in the process… It works!

If you have a particular theme that I can help you deliver let me know or you can pick from one of mine below – I’ve delivered these to 1000’s of people and they never fail to engage head and heart! They can be from 18min Ted style to year-long relationships.

Vierklang is globally proven, collaborative LIVE Strategy Coaching that uses ‘swarm intelligence’ to engage everyone in the company to build the Purpose, Vision, Values and Strategies. This model drives strategic company growth and employee motivation and embeds it for years into the future.

BOOK MICHAEL

This event is devoted entirely to the subject of ‘Feedback’. When surveyed, managers practically all agree it’s an essential piece in their toolbox. But did you know that 85% of the time most managers have been getting feedback totally wrong without even knowing it! (There’s a high probability you are one of them). I’ll teach you the trick – there are three situations of Feedback that are – and three that are not, can you guess?

BOOK MICHAEL

You might be shocked to know that it actually requires ‘conflict’ in order to build a Kick-Ass Team to deliver outstanding world-class results… And it takes a magic ingredient… In German, you may know it as ‘Menschenkenntnis’ – literally translated it means ‘knowing people’. With a mixture of psychology and personality profiling in this event using ‘colours’ to reflect human behaviour, you’ll be able to use this new-found knowledge to achieve practical leadership outcomes of success and greater team management.

BOOK MICHAEL

This is your chance to make a change. Right here. Get clear on what matters most to you so you can live the life you truly want to live. I’ll take you on a journey to help you discover your purpose in life and define your vision and values. Take control of your future today!

BOOK MICHAEL

Values Elicitation
Values… this is perhaps the least understood, and the most invisible piece in the identity of the company. Values guide us how we behave – they give us strength to achieve the big vision, no matter how difficult some of those decisions we need to make to get there are.

I have created a keynote that packs 7 months’ worth of psychological scripts into just 4 hours. With this method I have helped hundreds of companies since 2008. All were amazed how quick and easy it is to elicit a truthful set of core values – no matter how young or old the company is.

BOOK MICHAEL

Coaching
It might seem obvious that the word “Coach” comes from the old Horse-Coach that got people from A to B. Now in my work as a coach it is always “Hi, how can I best support you today to reach your goal”… I’m there as a vehicle/a resource to help you explore new ways, different thinking, even different mindsets. Of course one of the most important ingredients to make this a journey of trust and discovery is the rapport we have with each other. So, reach out, make the time for yourself and let’s have a chat to see how good a fit we are to go on the journey together.

BOOK MICHAEL

Powerful Communication
As human beings we start communicating from the moment we are born. And, some people seem to be way better at it than others – how come? Well, some people would say “Oh, she just radiates” or “wow, that guy is just so charismatic”. I’m here to share a secret with you… how Charisma can be learned.

In this keynote I’ll share how we all can have positive impact on the people around us in business and in life – with a hugely valuable toolbox of methods and mindsets for communicating in very powerful and easy ways.

BOOK MICHAEL

run this company coa
This is all about the people. I’ll teach you from experience about how an organization is lead to fulfill it’s mission and vision. I’ll show you possibly the greatest strategy model of all time and how it can help you take everyone on the journey. What’s even better is this model works for individuals, couples and teams as well as organizations. Intrigued?

My availability

I do limit the amount of time I devote to keynotes and coaching events as I have ongoing commitments with business leaders that I am actively coaching, and participant ‘Chiefs’ in our ‘Chief of the Year’ and ‘Leaders Forum’ programs at CoA Academy so make me an offer of why you’d like to hire me that I can’t refuse!

All the options above can be delivered remotely and in-person, but I recommend the power I bring to ‘remote’ through my love of technology through multiple channels. I am someone with a deep love of entertaining both verbally and musically in order to change whole groups be they small or literally 100’s. Let’s go, let’s make a difference!

A little about me:

Some might say I have a colorful past with over 25 years as a business angel, founder, corporate executive and as a consultant. In my early days I even worked as a medic helping to save lives. However, with my work as a leadership coach and a founder of CoA Academy I see my purpose today as “helping people to achieve goals with ease”. I’ve published a book called ‘Chief of Anything’ in German, English and French and also have a Podcast by the same name.

I also, as the saying goes ‘eat my own dogfood’ – I’m an active shareholder in multiple businesses and as co-founder and CMO helped to scale-up one company towards a $2.2bn IPO in 2009. As an EO member, Accelerator trainer and former President of EO Qatar, I’ve had a long-term passionate relationship with the business of entrepreneurship. I’m also humbled to have had case studies written and presented by Harvard University about two of my companies.

After 10 years abroad, I returned to my home country of Germany together with my wife and daughters to be closer to my wider family again. Lastly, music is a really important part of my life, put me in a room with a piano and I’ll gladly sing a few songs with you.

What people say about me

(some actual quotes that my clients were happy to share – anonymously of course!)

For Workshops:

Incredibly interesting, humorous and fresh seminar - there is no "dry theory knowledge", but real practical knowledge and experience is communicated here.

For One on One Coaching:

Michael is simply always super helpful and gives me just the right perspective on the really important decisions!

For Team Coaching:

Team building training was sensational. As a group, we have not only met the different personalities, but also understood why it is important that all forms are in the team and contribute to the success of the team.
Thank you for the training, we'll be happy to do that again!
