Testimonials

Coaching is no magic cure, but an invitation to change. An invitation to meet yourself in a new way.

What do you really gain from coaching?

This is the question many people ask before taking the first step. The honest answer: coaching is no magic cure – but it is an invitation to change. An invitation to encounter yourself in a new way.

Over the past 35 years, I have accompanied more than 4,000 people in one-on-one sessions, seminars, and trainings. Coaching testimonials are as individual as the people themselves. But they all share one thing: it begins within. And it transforms what becomes possible on the outside.

From Self-Employed to Entrepreneur: Kaspar’s Turning Point

Kaspar, 38, had built a successful one-man business over the years. The next step – growth, team, structure – was within reach. Yet something inside blocked him.

“I was going in circles. I knew what I wanted, but not why I wasn’t doing it. Something inside me was stopping me.”

In coaching it became clear: it wasn’t about missing knowledge or strategies, but about loyalties. An unconscious question arose: Am I allowed to want more than my family ever had? An inner conflict between belonging and growth.

 Between loyalty and self-fulfillment. Between healthy self-interest and unconscious guilt.

We worked directly and deeply on this inner brake. Kaspar learned to recognize his desire for growth as legitimate – and to give himself permission.

“I would never have thought I was limiting myself so much, even though I looked confident on the outside. Today I’ve built my first team and created inner space for growth.”

Finally Standing on His Own Stage – Fritz’s Path to Self-Acceptance

Fritz, 50, actor. Stage experience, talent, training – all there. And yet: paralyzing self-doubt.

“I felt like an impostor. I was never really convinced I was good enough.”

Fritz’s issue was not a lack of ability, but a deep-rooted pattern of self-devaluation. That inner voice saying: You’re a fraud. It spoke up with every bigger role. Sabotaging success before it could even happen.

In coaching we worked at the source of this voice. Where does it come from? How does it operate? And how can you live with it without being ruled by it?

Fritz didn’t get superficial advice but gained insight and clarity into his invisible inner saboteurs and demons. And he overcame them. He regained his agency.

“I now know what sabotages me – and how to keep this inner opponent from winning. Today I can stand my ground. I can act. And shine.”

Leading Without Hiding – Klara’s Inner Clarity

Klara, 43, is an experienced CFO in a mid-sized company. Strategically strong, clear in thinking. Yet her team faced increasing tension, misunderstandings, frustration.

“I always thought leadership was about methods. But in coaching it became clear: it was about me. About my impact.”

In coaching we quickly reached inner themes: How is authority perceived? How much closeness is possible? How much distance is needed? What role do I actually play?

Questions rarely asked in leadership seminars – but essential.

Klara recognized her inner ambivalence: wanting to lead but fearing confrontation. A balancing act that made her insecure – and appear unclear. She shrank back, made herself small and colorless, avoiding her fears instead of facing them.

“I learned that my insecurity is noticeable, even if I try to cover it up. Today I am clearer, more present, more authentic. I stand up to my fears, move through them. And my team senses that.”

Leadership begins with yourself.

What Clears Inside Resonates Outside

These three stories stand as examples of what coaching can achieve. It is not about techniques. It is about encountering yourself. About withstanding strong emotions, about recognizing and overcoming inner resistance.

Change begins where patterns become conscious. Where inner blockages are named and worked through.

Only then does space open for new possibilities – in thinking, in action, in life.

“When something shifts inside, much becomes possible outside.”
