Why Work With A Coach When You Are Already World-class?

Do you know the name of Muhammad Ali’s coach?
Probably not.

Do you think his coach was instrumental in his career?
Probably yes.

It takes continuous feedback and a guided process to carve out world-class performers. That’s what a coach gives you. Marshall has developed a proven process vetted by thousands of Fortune 500 top executives. A coach gives you a structure for changing behaviors you decided need change.

You Want To Soar Like An Eagle? But Have To Fly With A Bunch Of Turkey’s?

We’ve all been there — we don’t understand why our team just doesn’t get it.
The others simply can’t keep up. If only we could clone ourselves.
But guess what. You’re part of the problem.
Clearly, whatever you’ve done so far hasn’t unlocked that next level of success.
Hence you need to change. You are the only part of the equation, you have full control over.
Change starts with you.

Change Starts At The Top!

A wordy email from top management has never got a team excited about changing their bad habits and raising their standards. Telling your team what to do versus leading by example can yield very different results. If you want your team to work harder, communicate better, be more accountable, have more ownership — change your own behavior, and the crowd will follow. Change yourself, and your organization will change with you.

How Do You Build A Winning Company Culture?

Marshall’s process involves stakeholders in your team, continually ranking your progress. If you work hard, they become your advocates. 95% of all leaders achieved measurable results! In the end, you’ll be equipped with all the tools to repeat the process within your organization. You, as a leader, become a coach. And that’s where individual change scales to become part of the culture. Marshall’s system is the most effective way to build a winning company culture fast.

Coaching Process

Silvan will work with you for 12 months. Through personal interviews and 360° feedback from stakeholders in your company, you pick one or two high-impact characteristics to change. You’ll choose 6-12 stakeholders who can judge your progress. Spend as much time with Silvan as you need to analyze the feedback and build an action plan. It’s simple but challenging.

Decide Critical Change

To ensure maximum attention to the behavior you want to change, pick one or two that your manager and peers agree on. We’ll be spending a year correcting this habit, so it’s important to know it’s the right one.

Involve Stakeholders

Through this process, you’ll be talking to each of your key stakeholders and collecting suggestions on improving key areas you want to improve. The short 2-3 minute conversations should be positive, simple, and future-focused.

Monthly Measurement

We’ll have an on-going follow-up process that’s efficient and focused. The stakeholders will provide regular feedback to your coach about how you’re improving — there will always be a focus on the future.

Leader as a Coach

If you’ve been committed to the program, you should expect positive reviews by the program’s 12th month. At this point, you should feel equipped with the toolkit to coach your own team.

Engagement Types

Silvan works with both management teams and individual leaders. In both cases, the training lasts from 9-12 months and you only pay if you see measurable results.

Individual Leader

1:1 coaching (the process can be conducted on your own anytime)

Leadership Team

A joint process with a group of leaders within the same company (includes 1:1 coaching for each participant)
The fastest way to change culture across an organization

One-for-One Charity

If you’re an executive working in Germany, you’re among the world’s 1%. A top executive with global aspirations. It took hard work, dedication, intuition, and a little bit of luck to get you there.
But others have worked equally as hard but haven’t had as much luck. As you may know, Germany has recently welcomed many well-educated minds from war-affected countries. Why should they not benefit from world-class coaching? For every executive coaching session we do, we give one free to an underprivileged recipient.

Who Is Silvan?

The Berlin native enjoyed a colorful childhood with his hippie parents. They traveled around the globe until he was seven years old. Back in Germany, he finished school and completed his Economics degree in Berlin and the US. His corporate career included Cisco, Comscore, and eBay. Later he went on to found three technology startups, two of which were recognized internationally. He is fluent in English and German. Silvan now lives in Berlin with his girlfriend and fabulous stepdaughter. The coach spends his free time in the MMA gym and is a fan of drum and bass music.

How Silvan and Marshall met

In 2010 Silvan read Marshall’s book “What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There”. He immediately recognized that he would need a coach like him when founding his own company. And so it happened that Marshall coached the C-Level of the aspiring tech startup “ParkTAG”. When Silvan exited the company in 2019 he joined forces with Marshall’s team at the Stakeholder Centered Coaching.
