Clarity for the next step in your working life.
One-to-one coaching for leaders, managers and professionals — whether you’re new to leadership, taking on more responsibility or changing direction.
For people at a turning point at work.
New to leadership
You’ve stepped into a leadership role and want to become the leader you want to be.
More responsibility
Your role has grown, and you want a clear direction for handling it.
Changing direction
You’re thinking about a career change and want to think it through properly.
A more fulfilling working life
You want to get more out of your work, for yourself and for the people you work with.
Typical themes include handling disagreement calmly, moving from managing to a more coaching style of leadership, and finding your feet in a first leadership role.
You find the answers. I help you get there.
My approach is non-directive. Instead of handing you ready-made solutions, I help you take an open, honest look at your situation, define what you really want, and create strategies that work for you. You leave with a clear direction and a way of moving forward on your own. My role is to ask the right questions and hold up a mirror. Your goals should be inspiring but realistic — and I look at your potential, not just at what has happened before.
The right tools for you
Depending on your needs, we may use stakeholder interviews, strategic framing methods, character assessments and reflection notes.
Open and honest
A trusting, non-judgemental space where you can think out loud — with time, and room for silence, to explore your own ideas without pressure to reach conclusions too early.
A shared commitment
We both commit to making change happen, and to making it last — for you and the people around you.
Why coaching in English works: it’s harder to talk around things in a second language.
In my experience, coaching in English keeps the conversation focused on the facts. If you prefer, some or all of the coaching can be in German.
Coaching that fits your situation.
One-to-one
My focus.
Teams
Also possible, on request.
Online or in person
Whatever suits you.
A coaching programme usually runs over five or six sessions, depending on what you want to achieve. We agree your goals at the start and review them together at the end. You decide whether and when to continue.
Fees depend on the scope of the coaching — we’ll discuss them in our first conversation.
Tom Leonard
Founder · Coach
In more than 20 years of training, the moments I found most rewarding — for my clients and for me — were the ones closest to coaching. That’s what led me to train as a coach.
I’ve worked with professionals internationally for more than 20 years. As founder and managing director of several companies — Target Language, InContext Training, Edify GmbH and InContext Coaching — I’ve faced many of the challenges my clients face: building, leading and motivating diverse teams, developing people and products, and managing client relationships. My clients range from new talent to experienced leaders.
