The C-Level-Lifecycle®
Seven phases, one goal.
In Office
Your daily leadership reality – complex, fast-paced, often challenging. We are your sounding board for strategic questions, conflicts, new challenges or simply the desire for a clear outside perspective. Confidential discussions focus on confidence, priorities, stakeholder management and the question: What do you need to lead effectively?
Design Exit
You want to bring your current role to a close in an orderly manner, make room for new experiences, give something back or redesign parts of your life. We support you in planning your departure with foresight and dignity. In doing so, we don't lose sight of the time that follows – it doesn't begin at some distant point in the future, but with your decision to think ahead.
Post C-Level
You have achieved a lot and want to pass it on. Whether it's non-executive board work, start-up investments, setting up a foundation or striking out in a completely new direction, we can help you redefine your role. With structure, strategic vision and the certainty that you can remain effective even after your operational career – perhaps even more so than you used to be.
Pre C-Level
You have your sights set on the future. You feel that your path can lead you to the top and want to work towards that goal. In this phase, we support you in sharpening your positioning, expanding your skills and developing a strategy that fits your personality. This will give you clarity, self-confidence and access to the right circles.
Search
Are you ready for the next step but still looking for the right role? We help you take action – by precisely matching your goals with the opportunities available on the market. We support you in approaching potential positions, prepare you for interviews and ensure that you can present yourself confidently and authentically.
Negotiation
Is an offer in the pipeline or already on the table? Now every detail counts. We advise you on contract negotiations, review the framework conditions and work with you to develop a package that is not only financially attractive, but also fits your lifestyle. It's not just about salary, but about self-determination and long-term satisfaction.
Start New Job
The first 100 days are crucial. We are here to support you so that you can settle into your new role with a clear head, an authentic presence and a strong team start. We guide you through key decisions, help you set the right tone and ensure that your start is not only successful, but also effective.
