Personal Coaching

For people who want to grow professionally and personally – while staying true to themselves.

Does this sound familiar? You are facing an important decision. You know what you could do professionally – but something is holding you back. Or you keep reacting in certain situations in a way you don't like. Perhaps you also wonder why you are not as satisfied in your role as you had imagined.

This is where our reflective dialogues come in: structured conversations in which we sort through the situation, your inner reactions and the next steps together.

Would you like to arrange a first conversation straight away? Write to tcb@keel.works.

Who I am

I'm Tobias, and I help you navigate these situations. For more than 20 years I have worked with businesses – from start-ups and scale-ups to established organisations, profit and non-profit. My professional background is in finance and operations; since my first leadership role, my passion has been people and being with people.

What has always inspired me most about leadership? When I was able to touch someone's life. When someone takes a step forward – not only professionally, but personally too.

That is why I am currently completing the "Psychologie der Veränderung" ("Psychology of Change") training at Dietz Coaching (based on IFS and Hakomi: emotionally attuned, mindful, parts-oriented) – completion is planned for December 2026. And that is why I offer what I always looked for as a leader myself: a space in which clarity can emerge.

What I offer

I support you with professional and personal challenges – drawing on my experience as a leader, my understanding of business contexts and my training in the psychology of change.

This might be:

  • You face a difficult decision and are looking for clarity.
  • You notice that you keep reacting in similar ways in certain situations – and want to understand why.
  • You are in a new role and wonder how to truly settle into it.
  • You feel a dissatisfaction you can't quite put your finger on.

I don't work with advice. I work with questions, with reflection and with a close look at what is going on inside you – always aware that change can only come from within you.

I stand for empathetic clarity: I listen closely, I ask, I stay with what is difficult – and I put into words what is often still blurred.

How I work

We look at recurring patterns, automatic reactions and the feelings that keep coming up – because they often give very precise clues about what is driving, protecting or holding you back.

We translate this into clarity: what really matters, what needs attention now, and what is a sound next step?

What I need from you: a willingness to reflect and usually three to five conversations of around 60 to 90 minutes – time in which things can settle.

Coaching is a secondary offer for me; my main business is financial leadership for companies. That is exactly why I know what it's like when numbers alone are not enough – and where people come in.

Format, fees and confidentiality

  • Companies: EUR 250 per hour
  • Self-paying clients: EUR 150 per hour

All prices include VAT.

Sessions take place in person in Munich or via Zoom. Everything we discuss remains confidential. Where a company commissions the coaching, feedback is limited to attendance and whether we are working together – never the content of sessions.

Personal coaching is not psychotherapy and does not replace such treatment.

Next steps

If this resonates with you, let's talk. In a first conversation we see whether it's a good fit – for you, for me and for what you need right now.

30-minute introductory call, free of charge: an initial look at your situation and what you'd like to work on, via Zoom or in person in Munich.
