Clients Work At
You replay conversations for hours.
You say yes when you mean no.
You decide, then decide again for days.
None of that is a thinking problem. You've already thought about it.
SO WE DO SOMETHING ELSE:
Find it. We look at what keeps repeating until you can name the pattern in one sentence.
Trace it. We find where you learned it and what it used to protect you from.
Practice it. Real situations, every week, with someone watching the pattern with you.
Bring the situation that keeps repeating. We start there.
What Changed for Them
★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on Google
Aziz M.
"He helped me think about my life more systematically."
I worked with Steffen for 6 sessions over course of 2-3 months. Our initial meet was pure chance outside of Palo Alto Whole Foods. His 1 min coaching sign intrigued me.
Jason E.
"His ability to recognize decision making patterns."
What makes Steffen a great coach is his talent for listening. I was able to work through issues from my recent professional transition. I recommend Steffen in confusing times!
Thomas G.
"Helped me get unstuck."
Talking with Steffen helped me make sense of things that had been circling in my head. The conversations were straightforward and useful. I left with clearer thinking.
Anna F.
"Shape our kids by the example we set."
Insightful conversations with Steffen about how childhood and education influence us later in life. He brings clarity in a very natural way.
React Differently in 3 Months
Programming is not permanent.
The patterns you picked up early are still running things, at work and at home. Three months of weekly coaching to interrupt them.
THE FORMAT
12 weekly sessions, 45 minutes each. On video, or in person near Palo Alto.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION
We agree the topic and the outcome before we start. You bring the situation, we unpack it together, and you see the part you couldn't see on your own. You leave with one thing to do differently. Next time, we start there.
WHAT IT TAKES
A willingness to be uncomfortable. If you want something different, that part isn't optional. I'll hold you to what you said you'd do, and I'll tell you what I see even when it's not what you want to hear.
WHAT CHANGES
✓ You stop replaying the meeting
✓ You decide once and move on
✓ You say no without the guilt
✓ You don't have that fight again
✓ The pattern stops running you
WHO THIS IS FOR
People who feel capable but keep hitting the same wall. Not therapy, not a quick fix.
THE PATTERN GUARANTEE
If you can't trace where your pattern started, in one sentence, after four sessions, the next four are free.
I'll tell you what I hear. If it's a fit for both of us, we start the following week.
Farmers markets. Whole Foods. Venice Beach. Even Hollywood, between coaching calls.
My Story
I coach tech professionals one to one for three months.
I knew what to do for eighteen years.
A psychologist friend in Germany told me to move to America and become a coach. I moved four years later. The coaching took fourteen more. So when you say you already know what you should do, I believe you.
I was an engineer first.
Fifteen years of automotive lighting in Germany, China and the US. What made or broke a project was never the engineering.
The sign.
A few times a week I stand in public and talk to strangers. The sign says one minute. Most stay fifteen. It's the part of the work I like best.
Trained at the Co-Active Training Institute. Based near Palo Alto, coaching worldwide.
I waited eighteen years to make the call. You don't have to.

"When it makes sense to plan an exit."
Steffen helped me think about how to pursue a meaningful career, and when it makes sense to plan an exit. We also explored the deeper question of finding meaning in life.
Jiyeon B.
"He helped me ask myself why."
A great listener who responds by asking insightful questions that can help you look within yourself, your life, and the relationships you have with others.
Jonathan T.
"Strong analytical skills, and able to guide and lead."
I felt quite at ease and in the right room because he was knowledgeable, while equally being quite empathetic. Great advice too!
Ahmet S.
"He helped me see my situation from a different perspective."
I started coaching because I felt stuck and unsure how to move forward. What stood out to me was how quickly that shift happened. I walked away with more clarity and a better sense of direction.
