BEgleiter
Patrick Schmid standing in a bright room, smiling, hands in his pockets.
Initial conversation: confidential & free of charge.
  • Orientation when everything wavers.
  • I follow no agenda. I follow you.
  • I listen. Also between the words.
  • It’s about you. No templates. With heart.
  • 01

    Things are hard right now

    In times of crisis, it’s sometimes not about finding a solution, but about having something to hold on to. I accompany you when everything feels unsteady; with calm, presence, and a safe space.

  • 02

    I want to understand myself better

    For people who want to understand more deeply what moves them—and from that develop strength, orientation, and decisions that feel right in complex times.

  • 03

    I want to have more impact

    Impact means showing yourself in language, expression, and behavior so that your thoughts, concerns, and intentions truly land—clearly, with integrity, and in a way others can connect with.

  • 04

    I don’t want to grow alone

    Those who carry others need space to be held themselves. Growth requires individual and shared development: the I in the we.

Patrick Schmid in conversation at a wooden table, attentive and gesturing.

About me

Presence, clarity, and the willingness to walk with what is essential.

For 20 years, I carried responsibility myself in demanding roles—until outer success and inner truth drifted apart. I know that point from my own experience. It shapes the way I accompany people: with a systemic view, with presence, without push or fixing.

I work with body, system, and biography—with whatever shows up in the moment: sometimes in a clarifying conversation, sometimes with other methods, sometimes in the silence in between. What matters: you feel understood.

I call myself BEgleiter (German for companion), because for me the “BE” (to be) carries more than one meaning.

  1. Step 01

    Initial conversation

    Confidential & free of charge. A quiet conversation in which we see whether and how guidance makes sense right now.

  2. Step 02

    Clarification

    We begin only when you feel safe, and together we choose what feels right for you.

  3. Step 03

    Guidance

    Understanding → Recognizing → Direction → Action

I came to know you as someone who wants to understand the person in front of him and who has the ability to put his ego completely aside. You are one of the best coaches I have had the privilege of meeting.

I found it very moving how openly and authentically you [...] spoke, and with what presence you listened and mirrored me.

What does the initial conversation cost?

Nothing. The initial conversation is confidential & free of charge.

Do I need to bring a specific problem or topic?

No. Some people come with a question, some with a goal, some with a pattern that keeps repeating without their knowing exactly why. Any of these is a good place to start.

Where does the guidance take place?

Individually or in a group?

Both. Individual guidance, group work, or impulses for people in responsibility.

Change begins with an impulse
