Executive Coaching

Profound and long-lasting impact requires us to look at the whole person, both personal and professional. Do you have the willingness and tenacity to do so?
We make the implicit explicit. Together, we heighten your awareness of beliefs that shape your life by looking at systems, structures and underlying patterns within which you operate.
You are curious, open to experiment and stretch beyond your comfort zone to explore and embrace ambiguity and uncertainty. Most importantly, you take responsibility for following through on your actions.

Coach in Training

Oftentimes a mixture of mentoring and coaching, this is a cost-effective way to get coaching from coaches-in-training currently enrolled in our School of Change level 1 or 2 coach training while supporting them as they hone their skills. Sessions may be recorded for learning purposes with your payment contributing towards the regular supervision of your coach.

“Lise is provocative in a very pleasant way and questions the voices that hold you back. She recognised my style and my need to go against conformity - and questioned my authentic self every time I fell into a conform way of thinking. I learned that every time I'm afraid of my own creativity, thinking that I'm taking things too far... I'm actually not going far enough. ”

Nicole Picthall

“Lise’s coaching style is simple and powerful. She helped me observe my behaviours and see how long-term planning could give me an overall sense of direction. As a result of coaching with Lise, I became more focussed on my objectives and better able to prioritise. She helped me figure out what to do next – professionally and in my personal life.”

Josie Murphy

“Lise’s masterful coaching provides a safe place where I can openly and wholeheartedly contemplate and co-create ideas for solving professional and/or life challenges. Her coaching is thought-provoking and mind-tickling as she artfully applies and combines many coaching styles situationally. I recommend a set of sessions, so follow-up and personal accountability can happen which has helped me tremendously. ”

Beate Stumpe

“I am extremely grateful for the experience of being coached by Lise. She is truly amazing and inspiring. And she cares. And she delivers. No matter how difficult the client finds it to formulate their issue. She sees the light and she takes you there. ”

Natalia Moiseenkova

“Lise combines a big heart with an exceptional ability to think. She has high-level business acumen and a down-to-earth sense of the human factor. In coaching situations, she displays both sensitivity and powerful analysis. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a coach.”

Stefanie Gester

“The coaching sessions with Lise have been among my most valuable resources for my first year of C-Level responsibilities. She has particularly helped me to structure my thoughts through a broad range of challenges, to trust my own capabilities and go my own way, as well as to anticipate conflicts and thus be prepared to dissolve them on the spot. I highly recommend her support.”

Anna Pointner, CEO, Voith Composites
