About me

Executive Coach - Zurich


I am an accredited transformational coach (International Coach Federation), a certified communication psychology coach, with a Masters in Business Psychology and experienced in coaching CEOs, small-business owners and founders, corporate executives and senior managers.

My corporate experience spans 25 years starting out as an ex-consultant (pan-European), thereafter spending years within Investment Banking, then corporate development before taking responsibility for product development at a major stock exchange and then going on to take a CEO position for a regulated part of a large stock exchange group.

My coaching is informed by four pillars, firstly my master’s in business psychology (Switzerland) which focussed on the importance of certain leadership behaviours for contributing to the psychological health and well-being of employees. Secondly my training under Prof. Friedemann Schulz von Thun (Germany) in communication psychology. Thirdly my training in transformational coaching from Animas (UK) and fourthly my training in compassionate inquiry under Dr. Gabor Matè (Canada).

My coaching conversations are structured spaces where you reflect on yourself, your resources and the context around you, strategize and then choose how to move forward. My role is, as your supporting partner, to help you in thinking things through with clarity and determination, to help you in specifying what you really want and how you can move towards it and subsequently to keep you focussed on that path. Working with me will enable you to find greater self-awareness of facing the truth about what’s happening in your life, explore alternative perspectives, achieve clarity of vision, gain accountability and make progress towards your vision.

Some typical coaching topics include: leadership style, career transition, decision-making, improving work/life balance, limiting beliefs, developing emotional regulation, confidence building, negotiation skills, presenting, resilience, examining blind spots.

Book a 30-minute call for me to better understand your challenges and see how we can work together.

John’s coaching has supported me through difficult decision-making and deep, inward reflection. The space he created helped me find clarity on both my personal and professional life. I’m grateful for his energy, presence and experience. John is a fantastic coach! CW
