— Adrian M. (CFO from Switzerland)
„Markus has a very sporty, dynamic coaching style, which challenged me in a good way to leave my comfort zone and dive deep into a topic. In those moments I realized that business coaching helps me especially when the answer to Markus' question is not easy - then you really make progress. Thank you Markus, for the inspiring and challenging coachings!”
— lea H. (consultant in zürich switzerland)
“During the course of a year I had the pleasure to go through several coaching sessions with Markus. The topic which was most important for me at that time, was building up my own business and develop a matching positioning for my company as a starting point. Thanks to a wide variety of methodical approaches and the application of exciting tools we were able to adapt to my needs and make fantastic progress towards my goals. The result speaks for itself: I am clear now and will finally exit my comfort zone and do the last step: The go-live date of my own business is set! Markus helped me through asking very sharp and precise questions while opening up my thought patterns when needed. In the end the biggest benefit was that I was able to take clear decisions on which I am really proud of. His way of working is quite a sporty, challenging style while staying on eye level - for me an absolutely great fit and perfect mix to boost the progress on my path to business happiness!”
— David H. (Switzerland)
“Markus has been a key pillar in a very crucial moment of my life. Fortunately I had the chance to discuss, exchange and work with him to get out of my extremely tricky professional situation at that time. His super professional coaching approach, the process itself and his great level of empathy helped me a lot. To be honest friends and family were not really part of the solution as most conversations were problem oriented. What I needed was a solution-oriented sparring partner on eye level. Then suddenly I was seeing things from a different perspective, I changed my attitude - in the beginning just a little - and slowly but surely I got a very clear picture of what needs to be done next. Now it seemed obvious. In retroperspective I was enabled to think out of the box and the fast progress motivated me to take the brave steps needed to unlock my next chapter of professional and personal success. Thank you Markus!”
— Carlos F. (France)

Ask yourself how much would you would be ready to invest in order to assure that you reach your most important life and work related goals ? Please reflect on how much would you be ready to overcome your most important challenges ? How much is it worth to progress on those topics in the most efficient way ? Those questions are a good base to check if you are ready to take your topic serious enough to enter a coaching process. Anyway you don`t have to take a decision just now - you can try out and test if my approach fits your needs during the first intro call which is completely free. Then the cost of coaching can vary depending on the duration of the coaching program and the specific services provided. Typically the process takes about 1-6 sessions depending the topic. I offer package deals and discounts which are customizable on every situation.

Yes, offering coaching to someone else is possible and can be a thoughtful and impactful gift. I offer gift certificates or prepaid coaching packages that you can purchase for someone else. It's a great way to support their professional development and help them achieve their personal or professional goals. However please keep in mind that openess towards the process and the will to reflect and potentially change is a prerequisite for success.

While coaching can be incredibly effective in helping you work through challenges and achieve your goals, it’s important to understand that the coach cannot guarantee specific outcomes. The beauty of coaching is also based on the fact the the outcome is absolutely open. The success of coaching largely depends on your commitment to the process, your willingness to take action and the effort you put into applying the insights and strategies discussed during sessions. A coach provides guidance, support, and accountability but ultimately as a matter of fact the results are up to you.

I love to work within an international environment and therefore take coachees from all around the world. No matter where you come from - we can definitely find ways to work together. However my mother tongue is German and I also speak fluently French. Therefore I provide my business coachings in those 3 languages.
-
Good news: Both works perfectly ! Most of my 1-1 coachings are online. It`s very pragmatic, works perfectly and reduces the cost & time investment on both sides. But I love also a physical set-up whenever it`s possible or the coachee prefers this type of set-up. I have several inspiring locations to offer on hand, can join any location worldwide for physical meetings on request and offer also Outdoor set-ups like Walking & Hiking Coachings when preferred. Team coachings can also work in both scenarios depending on the topic and goal to achieve.
