Coaching Approach

Motion, creative power and objective-driven change begin in the mind of leaders. Dr. Does supports people with his coaching approach in their effort to grow personally along with their challenges. He assists them in developing their full potential for private and professional success, and if necessary, turning a personal or professional crisis into an opportunity for further advancement. He also brings his very personal experience that an ambitious professional involvement, physical fitness and health, a fulfilling partnership, personal happiness and an intense spiritual life need not represent conflicting objectives, but can be mutually supportive for a rewarding and well balanced life. He applies the philosophy and the toolset of "Integral Coaching" as his professional methodical platform.

Other Activities

On the personal side, he keeps himself in good shape physically, mentally and spiritually by jogging, hiking and meditating daily. He loves sailing, canoeing and being outdoors. Reading and dealing with psychological matters, philosophy and politics are exciting and relaxing at the same time for him. When he has the time, he enjoys playing the piano.

He volunteers as a business consultant and coach in "Development Aid" projects, to help businesses in developing countries speed up their learning curve.
