- Patrick Schmid
I develop Deep Leadership with you and accompany leaders who no longer want to “function better,” but to lead more consciously and effectively.
- Format
- 1:1 executive development
- On-the-job guidance
- Confidential & individual
Who it’s for
Who is it for?
For all kinds of leaders who want to work on their own development in a focused, open, and systemic way—beyond mere transfer of content, cookie-cutter coaching, and psychologizing.
It helps if you have experienced setbacks, reached your limits, or realized that it’s not just about “higher, faster, further, better.”
Introductory questions
- Do you just function, or do you really lead when the pressure rises?
- Under strain, do your decisions get faster … or narrower?
- Do you know exactly what inner logic you act from?
- Do conflicts sometimes hit you more personally than you want to show?
- 4 areasSelf-leadership, perspectives, language, decision
- 6–12months, depending on available time, intensity, and integration
- 1:1Executive development, on-the-job guidance
- 2 × ½ dayin person at the start and at the end

You recognize your own patterns before they distort your leadership.
You lead from inner stability instead of from pressure or compensation.
You can hold ambivalence without simplifying too quickly.
