the way to transform into excellence
services
we inspire and facilitate personal and organizational transformations towards excellence
changing things is easy. making them better is hard. to make things better you need to master these key transformational mindsets and practices:
show up
it´s you not them. any transformation always starts with yourself.
take one more step
feeling anxious due to complexity and unpredictability shouldn’t keep you from doing what needs to be done.
pay attention to what you pay attention to
transformations require clear focus, positive energy and robust relationships.
create the difference that makes a difference
foster an environment in which the full intelligence, passion and wisdom of everyone is utilized.
strengthen your muscles
you can´t fix yourself, your teams or your organization to greatness, you can only amplify what sometimes already works well.
blow up stuff
experiment with and learn from lots of different things in order to “fail faster to succeed sooner.” (david kelley, co-founder IDEO)
keep pushing
develop practices to nourish and spread what works well.
we support you with our expertise in developing and finetuning these fundamental elements in three practice areas:
individual & team coaching
We coach Board members, CEOs and other senior executives and managers to improve the quality of their individual leadership practices, master difficult people dynamics, address complex strategic and organizational transformation issues.
We coach senior leadership teams to increase their strategic clarity, their ability to think and perform together, their role modelling courage, and their ability to mobilize others to create voluntary engagement across their organizations.
leadership development
We design and facilitate powerful custom-made leadership development programs and learning interventions/expeditions to enhance individual and collective leadership capabilities and practices.
organization development
We support organizations in optimizing their people engagement to master complex and uncertain situations successfully thereby enabling them to quickly adapt to changing conditions and to reliably deliver customer value.
“the task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant.”

about silke natschke
bringing empathy and persistence
I am a linguist, philosopher and artist working globally as a leadership coach and consultant with senior executives and leadership teams for a wide range of industries.
the essence of my work is to help improve the quality of conversation, relationship and creative participation in organizations in the context of disruptive change, digital transformations and the future of work.
I help my clients to explore more deeply the role personal commitment, experimentation, language and visualization play in creating movement in organizations, thereby enabling them to become more proficient in understanding their thinking and in role modeling what they want to see more of in their organizations.
in my experience, working in the here and now is necessary to, and beneficial for raising issues that managers are reluctant to bring to the table in their everyday work environment.
my clients describe me as very relational, mindful, tenacious, analytical, and creative.
prior to my own practice as consultant I worked as assistant director at the European office of the State of Wisconsin, Department of Commerce.
I have a Master in American Literature, Philosophy and Political Science from the Goethe University in Frankfurt.
Psychology, Mindfulness and Neuroscience have for many years been special areas of focus.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Organization Change at HULT/ Ashridge International Business School in the UK.
I was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and I have lived and worked for five years in the US.
I reside in Frankfurt and work worldwide in English and German.
“you helped me to fundamentally change the way i look at and understand myself through your calm presence, empathy, insightful questions and sharp observations.”
