Frequently Asked Questions

Executive Medical Coaching is medical coaching for people with significant professional responsibility who are dealing with illness, a medical diagnosis, treatment, or prolonged recovery. The coaching focuses on what that changed medical reality means for your ability to function, your capacity, your choices, and your responsibilities. It helps you regain calm and perspective and, from there, find direction in your work, leadership, and recovery.

Executives, entrepreneurs, managers, and other professionals with significant responsibility who are themselves dealing with a medical event or prolonged recovery.

The coaching is not limited to this group, however. Even if you do not hold a leadership role or significant professional responsibility, medical coaching may still be appropriate if a medical event is having a major impact on your life, functioning, or future. In an introductory conversation, we can explore whether my coaching is a good fit for your situation.

You do not need to decide that in advance. During a no-obligation introductory conversation, we discuss what is going on and explore which form of coaching would be most appropriate. Sometimes an intensive sparring session is enough; in other situations, support over a longer period may be more suitable.

For your target group in particular, this is an important question. Here, I would clearly explain how you handle confidentiality, including when an employer is paying for the coaching.

The duration of the coaching depends on your situation and what you need. You can choose an intensive sparring session of 2.5 to 3 hours, Recovery Reset for 6 weeks, The Art of Recovery for 3 months, or The Art of Recovery Intensive for 6 months.

Yes. In a no-obligation introductory conversation, we discuss what is going on in your situation and what you need. You will get a first impression of the way I work, and together we explore whether my coaching is a good fit for you and your question.

The introductory conversation can take place by phone or online via video call. Depending on the situation and travel time, meeting in person may also be possible.

Afterwards, you can take your time to decide whether you would like to continue and, if so, in what form.
