Executive coaching in Berlin – in person & online
Leadership means new challenges every day
As a manager, you make a lot of decisions – often quickly, sometimes under pressure and often alone. There is a lack of feedback and too little reflection. This is no longer just about organizing or delegating, but about leading yourself and others consciously and effectively.
Perhaps you are wondering how you can remain present in your leadership role while communicating authentically and clearly . How to motivate yourself and your team – even in challenging phases. How real cohesion is created and what it takes for teams to work well together instead of side by side.
Questions about change also frequently arise: How do I accompany a change process without falling by the wayside myself? How do I master the leap into a new role – for example, if I am suddenly the line manager of my former colleagues?
The return to work after a break or the search for a new, coherent career path can also be topics – as well as the desire for more confidence in appearance, more clarity in communication or a good handling of inner and outer conflicts of values.
In coaching, we make space for your questions, your issues and your development. With empathy, humor and a clear view, I will help you to strengthen your role, make decisions more clearly and feel more joy in your leadership work.
What you might want to know...
1. What is executive coaching?
Executive coaching is individual, professional support for people in management positions. It offers space to reflect on leadership style, decision-making behavior, communication, understanding of roles and strategic challenges - confidentially, in a structured and solution-oriented manner.
2. For whom is coaching useful?
For people with responsibility: whether you are new to your role, already have experience in management, are undergoing change processes or have reached a professional turning point - coaching supports you with complex requirements, uncertainties or the desire for further development.
3. What topics can I work on in coaching?
Frequent topics are
- Clarifying your own leadership role
- Dealing with pressure, expectations or uncertainty
- Making decisions and setting priorities
- Communication with teams, colleagues or superiors
- Leadership at a distance or in hybrid structures
- Conflict or change situations
- Self-leadership, resilience and balance
4. What distinguishes coaching from supervision or therapy?
Coaching is goal-oriented, focused on professional issues and individually oriented. It is neither therapy nor supervision in the traditional sense, although the subject areas often overlap. The focus is on your leadership role, not your biography or your team as a whole.
5. What are the specific benefits of coaching for me as a manager?
More clarity, self-confidence and the ability to act. Coaching helps you to use your own resources more consciously, make decisions more confidently, understand complex situations better and be more effective in your leadership role.
6. How does a coaching process work?
The coaching process begins with a joint preliminary discussion. What issues do you bring with you? What goals do you want to achieve? This is followed by individually tailored support, which usually extends over several sessions. Clear interim goals are defined and space is created for reflection.
7. How many sessions are usual and how often do they take place?
That varies from person to person. We often start with four to six sessions of 90 minutes every two to four weeks. Depending on your needs, the process can be shorter, more intensive or longer.
8. What happens when things get “human”? Can I address personal issues?
Yes, because leadership is always personal. Coaching is a protected space in which there is also room for uncertainties, doubts or emotional stress. Everything that is relevant to your leadership skills can be discussed.
9. Is coaching confidential?
Yes, because coaching is based on trust. Everything that is discussed during coaching remains confidential - regardless of who has given the assignment (e.g. organization or self-payer).
10. What does executive coaching cost?
The costs depend on the scope, duration and setting. After a free preliminary discussion, I will prepare an individual offer that is transparent and fairly calculated and tailored to your situation.
M. V., Manager and Dentist in a Dental Practice
Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde very quickly succeeded in strengthening us as a management team in structured coaching sessions and her professional feedback helped us a lot in the further development of our management style, the structure in our practice and also in holding team meetings to discuss current issues in order to avoid new conflicts.
Dr. P. B., Lecturer and Head of Department at a Berlin University
With a great deal of commitment, classic and unconventional training methods, she was able to sensitize the colleagues in our workshop “Team building through feedback”. For teachers, receiving personal feedback in a group of colleagues is an unusual situation. With her professional moderation and a great deal of sensitivity, she mastered this excellently and led the workshop to a "tangible" result in the form of feedback rules that we developed together with her. The result will accompany the colleagues in the department in their future work.
Dr. M. B., Engineer/Managing Director of a Company in the Aviation Industry
With her background in mediation and coaching and her skills as an intercultural trainer, she was able to guide the German-English team through the workshops. In linguistically very difficult situations and in heated discussions, she was able to contribute significantly to the success of the workshops through simultaneous interpreting. Ms. Kostadinowa impressed and inspired my colleagues and me with her engaging, people-oriented manner, her humor and her strong personality.
G. V., Dental Practice Manager
Both the team and my partner and I have come to know and appreciate Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde's warm-hearted manner, her humor and her structured leadership. She asks smart questions, picks up when things get very emotional, shows ways forward when one or the other is stuck in a mental dead end, is always empathetic and patient and continuously gives appreciative and helpful feedback. We all felt strengthened and understood by working with her. Her working style has also deepened the understanding between us and promoted cohesion. My partner and I now have a strong and motivated team that we enjoy working with every day.
S. K., Coffee Import Company Manager
I was given lots of energy and positive tips and left each session with lots of feedback and inspiration. Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde takes on the personal story - in her manager coaching sessions - and thus deals specifically with the individual professional situation. I always came away from a session feeling stronger and knowing that I could count on honest feedback from Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde. Thank you for your great support in my day-to-day work!
A. S., Remedial Teacher, Assisted Individual Living for Mentally Ill People
I met a woman who touched me with her authenticity, sensitivity and high level of professionalism. In the team supervision sessions, Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde ensures a balance between extroverted and introverted participants. I am particularly impressed by her sensitive attention to the words that are spoken and, above all, to the words that are not spoken. Recognizing the issues without judgment, with a clear focus on solutions, without losing the naturalness, I clearly name as an outstanding strength. I am grateful that Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde makes the world more understanding, clearer, happier and lighter. I wish Mrs. Kostadinowa-Rohde much health, strength and joy to continue to bring her great work into the world.
T. S., Dental Practice Manager
I had a team coaching session with my practice team and Ms. Kostadinowa over several sessions. The reason for this was to gain understanding for my colleagues and to achieve better cooperation in a growing team. Even though the team was a little skeptical at first about what to expect, Ms. Kostadinowa quickly won everyone over. Through several exercises and team tasks, we were able to grow together better and address problems openly. Even though everything is a process and takes time, it was helpful and also very informative for me as a manager. I can only recommend it to any manager who wants to grow together with their team. The employees were also able to learn something new, whether for their work or how to deal better with conflicts in their private lives in future.
C. S., IT Company Executive
Ms. Kostadinowa supported us in a complex process very competently, sensitively and with a lot of patience and thus contributed significantly to team improvements on various levels. I can recommend you and your skills!
J. S., Head of Daycare Center
We worked as a team with Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde and it cleared up a lot of things and brought them to the surface, so that we now have a much better team atmosphere. I would work with her again at any time.
F. M., Research Center Manager
Ms. Kostadinowa has been accompanying my team and me as a conflict moderator and management coach for several years - whether in times of crisis due to Corona or when changes in the team, change processes, etc. have led to tensions in the team. She works with us primarily with the entire team, but sometimes also in pairs or in individual sessions - both in person and online.
We are more than satisfied with her performance and look forward to further discussions with her. Thank you very much for your support.
