BOOK A CONVERSATION
EXECUTIVE COACHING & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Gravitas isn't ego.
Presence isn't performance.

For leaders and founders leading through transitions and complexity, who want to do it from a place of genuine strength, not just momentum.

For Senior leaders and founders in finance, tech, scale-ups and beyond. Coaching in English and German.

BOOK A CONVERSATION

nous (n.) the kind of intelligence that comes from within. Practical. Grounded. Hard to fake.

Most leadership development starts on the outside. This work goes deeper.

When the pace is relentless and the stakes are high, presence, positioning and how you lead all matter. What makes them hold is the layer underneath - the thinking, the patterns, the inner coherence that doesn't show but everyone feels. That's where this work goes.

This isn't a quick fix. It's the work that actually sticks.

WHO THIS IS FOR →
WHAT INSIDE-OUT ACTUALLY MEANS

Inside-out work goes deeper than what you do. It looks at what you do it from - your values, your beliefs, the identity you bring into how you lead.

That's where real transformation lives. Not in new techniques or frameworks. In a clearer relationship with who you are, what you stand for, and what's actually driving you.

Presence, positioning, how you land - we work all of it. What makes it hold is the layer underneath, where the shift has to be real before it can show.

Grounded in neuroscience. Honest. And it sticks.

ON AI & LEADERSHIP

AI is reshaping how we work, decide and lead. The leaders who navigate it best won't be the ones who chase every tool. They'll be the ones grounded enough to stay human through the change, and connected enough to bring their people with them.

​

AI is also an active part of how we work together here. I use it to deepen the coaching process, sharpen reflection and ensure that you and I stay ahead of the curve. The inner work and the best available tools, working together.

ANTONIO H. · INVESTMENT BOUTIQUE

"I first came to Katrin three years ago when I was transitioning into a new role in a new company. Since then, I’ve kept coming back to her. Katrin is such a great source of energy and wisdom. She helped me understand myself better, and the values work—something I was initially resistant to—proved to be incredibly powerful. Together, we built a compass that will guide me for life, as well as a clear sense of purpose."

"What Katrin offers is like oxygen."

ANTONIO H. · INVESTMENT BOUTIQUE

Working with Katrin has been truly transformational. Her sessions provided me with the space to slow down, break tasks into manageable parts, and approach my work with a renewed sense of ease. I have gained clarity and efficiency for me and my team. My partner benefited too and asked if I wanted more sessions for Christmas! :)

SIMON K., FOUNDER, TECH START-UP

Katrin said at the beginning, I had to do the ”thinking work” and I now understand why. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to boost productivity and discover greater ease in their personal and professional life.

SVEN B

"Katrin is my thinking partner (as she promised to be). No matter what I bring or what mood I am in, she will meet me right there. When I am stuck, she listens and/or never fails to have an idea or a 'tool' to help me shift, process, or work through my challenges and figure out the next steps. We also laugh a lot, and one thing I have learned is not to take myself and life so seriously.” 

FRANC P. , CEO & CO-FOUNDER

Coaching opens a complete new and intense world of insights. Katrin was the perfect coach who always created a safe space and comfortable atmosphere which made the sessions really enjoyable. I feel coaching is a most valuable experience and beneficial to both your mental and social health. I was privileged to be given the chance to experience coaching with Katrin: it has positively impacted me as a person, employee, partner, daughter, friend, and mother.

JUDITH

When I started working with Katrin I had completely lost focus and sight of my goals. I have a lot of interests but at the time felt that my goal was to choose one thing and give up the rest. Working with Katrin showed me that all I needed was to get a clear vision of my values and a theme to structure my life and passions around. Thanks to working with Katrin, I feel more grounded and centred. I also have a compass that will serve me well beyond the coaching sessions.”

J.G, CRIMINOLOGIST 

Katrin was amazing at figuring out who I really am and want to be (for myself, my family and business). During our sessions I learnt an incredible amount about myself, I have worked out my goals and how to get there.  Not only do I feel that I am a better person and so much happier but I am also fitter than ever in my life! She is such a positive person, very empathetic but focused and knows when to challenge. What a fantastic experience! I can do nothing but recommend her! Thank you.

A.G., FOUNDER, HEDGE FUND 

“When I started working with Katrin I was all over the place. I had lost my mojo and sight of my bigger goals. My business was doing well but I knew it could do better. Working with Katrin helped me to look at my life and work from a new perspective and create a clear vision which allowed me to set clearer boundaries and be more focused. My business is booming and I am feeling grounded, maybe for the first time in my life.”

SIMON K., FOUNDER, TECH START-UP

ABOUT KATRIN

I spent 15 years in finance and hedge funds
before I understood what leadership actually
costs.

I've been in the rooms where performance is constant and vulnerability feels like risk. I was in fundraising, investor relations and business development. That background is what makes this work credible and different.

​

My clients describe me as honest, direct and genuinely challenging. And I hope, someone they can think out loud with. I call it being a kind disrupter. 2,500+ coaching hours. 300+ leaders coached globally. MSc, PCC, CNTC. Coaching in English and German.
