Prof. Dr. Claudia Nagel
Executive Coach and C-Suite Advisor
Founder of Nagel & Company (2005), economist and psychoanalyst, Senior Executive Coach for over 20 years, supports high-level executives and their management teams to become even more successful – with an outstanding track record.
My Approach
My coaching philosophy is based on many years of personal leadership experience, paired with in-depth knowledge of depth and business psychology, economic expertise and the exchange with many managers. Behind the obvious questions and problems often lie old patterns or completely different issues. Once these are recognized, it is often possible to achieve professional and personal breakthroughs.
Unlocking the True Potential of your Leadership
Being a leader is not just a role, it is the art of managing yourself, influencing others, and leading an entire organization. In today’s competitive landscape, the foundation of success is not just good strategy; it’s the people, the emotions, and the relationships that really count. Whether you’re dealing with board colleagues, executives, your team or customers, these “soft skills” are the hard facts that often make the difference between mediocre performance and profound results.
Navigate Complex Leadership Challenges
With me as your executive coach, you are choosing a unique blend of no-nonsense advice and deep personal insight. In my work, I focus on your leadership challenges, uncovering their connections to your own life story and empowering you to face and overcome them with renewed enthusiasm and effectiveness. Think of me as your confidential, impartial sounding board for strategic and practical leadership decisions, helping you to think deeply before taking determined action.
Making your mark as a strategic, people-oriented leader
Personal change requires trust and time. I generally aim to be your long-term executive coach, but in a crisis situation you may need immediate advice – so I offer an intensive two-day in-person coaching retreat.
In both cases, my coaching aims to increase your effectiveness as a leader and improve your people skills. Having coached hundreds of leaders to new heights, I am confident that I can help you develop and realize your own vision of a successful life as a leader..
Are you ready to redefine your leadership success with a coaching experience that goes underneath the surface?
Take the first step and use your leadership challenges to increase your impact and become more personally satisfied.
