FAQ

Career Coaching FAQ: What you should know.

Everything you should know before we speak.

This career coaching FAQ answers the most common questions about process, methods and costs. So you know exactly what to expect — and can make an informed decision about whether coaching is the right next step for you.

Basics

What is coaching, and how does it work?

What is business coaching?
+

Business coaching is professional support for people who are stuck professionally or want to change. I help you gain clarity about your professional situation and develop concrete steps for positive change. My “Love it, Change it or Leave it” approach helps you find the best strategy for your individual situation.

How does a coaching process work?
+

We start with a free initial consultation (45 min.). Here we discuss your needs together and talk about which type of support fits you. Content and pace are guided by your situation — we handle this flexibly according to need. A rhythm of 2–3 weeks between sessions has proven effective, but it is not a fixed plan.

Is online coaching just as effective as in-person coaching?
+

Yes. Modern online coaching tools allow for coaching that is just as intensive and personal as in-person sessions. Many of my methods — from the Deep OCEAN analysis through values clarity to hypnosystemic impulses — actually work with even more focus online, as distractions are minimised. You save travel time and participate from your familiar surroundings.

What distinguishes your coaching approach from other providers?
+

My unique differentiator is the clear “Love it, Change it, Leave it” approach. Instead of telling you what to do, I help you find out which of the three paths is right for your situation. I also combine classic business coaching with personality coaching and hypnosis coaching. As the father of a son with trisomy 21 and a long-standing leader, I bring a depth that goes beyond methods.

For whom is career coaching worthwhile — and when less so?
+

Career coaching is worthwhile when you are stuck professionally, want to reorient yourself, or need more clarity about your goals. It is less suitable when you need therapeutic support, or when you already have a clear direction and only need concrete implementation steps. In a free initial consultation we clarify together whether coaching is the right path for you.

What does the Deep OCEAN personality analysis actually give me?
+

The Deep OCEAN analysis shows you which strengths, needs and behavioural patterns shape you. You understand why you react the way you do in certain situations — and where your genuine potential lies. This makes it much easier to make career decisions that truly suit you, rather than merely seeming rational.

Career change

Professional reorientation.

How does coaching help me with professional reorientation?
+

In coaching we first clarify your starting situation and your inner drivers. We then develop three clear options using “Love it, Change it or Leave it” and explore which professional direction fits your personality, values and everyday life.

Am I not already too old for a change of direction (from 40/50)?
+

No. Reorientation in midlife is particularly valuable because you have a great deal of experience — but often new needs too. We use your previous career stages as a resource and develop a target profile that fits your current life phase, rather than starting from scratch.

What distinguishes professional reorientation from a simple job change?
+

A job change usually only adjusts title, employer or salary. Professional reorientation goes deeper: we look at personality, values, competencies and context — and shape a path that genuinely suits you, even if it is not linear.

Career Clarity Programme

The Career Clarity Programme.

What is the Career Clarity Programme?
+

Career Clarity is a structured coaching programme in 3 phases. It is not a quick fix — it is a deep journey to yourself, at the end of which you know what you want to do and why. The result is a concrete Career Clarity Canvas with your complete target profile.

Leadership Identity

The Leadership Identity Coaching.

What is Leadership Identity coaching?
+

Leadership Identity is a 1:1 coaching programme for leaders who want to lead more authentically and effectively. The starting point is self-knowledge: personality structure, values, dysfunctional beliefs. The goal is confident leadership from inner clarity rather than from reaction and habit.

Who is Leadership Identity coaching suitable for?

Why are the programmes more expensive than the sum of individual sessions?
+

The programmes are not the sum of individual method sessions. They are structured processes in which each session builds on the previous one. This also includes WhatsApp support between sessions, intensive preparation and follow-up, and a concrete end result: in the Career Clarity Programme, for example, the Career Clarity Canvas with your complete target profile.

Can I deduct career coaching from taxes?
+

Many clients can claim expenditure for business and career coaching as professional expenses or training costs. How this applies in your case depends on your individual situation — best to discuss this with your tax adviser.

Are there more affordable alternatives?
+

Yes. In addition to individual sessions there are method-specific short formats as well as digital products (in planning). For a first impression, the free initial consultation (45 min.) is the right starting point.

In the free initial consultation I answer everything personally — and we look together at whether and how I can support you.
