Becoming CEO
What sets IGNITE apart Results you can expect
You
As a CEO you have to lead in a paradox context: You are fully responsible for your company – but your control is limited. You have more power than anybody else – but you better use it carefully. You have access to any information – butdo you know what’s really going on? You have to align your company around a clear purpose for future success – but shareholders push for short-term profits.
As a leader you have learned how to navigate through paradoxes. But as a human – which you still are – you will experience your environment as an echo chamber, highly pressurized, at times overwhelming. You risk to catch the CEO disease – a fixed mindset: In a state of drained energy and without open feedback you are tempted to drift into unconscious “autopilot” behaviours that can harm your leadership effectiveness and limit your positive impact on others.
Taking time to make your leap into a growth mindset will help you to becomea Conscious Leader, aware of what matters most to your company, your team and yourself. Bridging the awareness gap – from compulsion to choice – is key to your sustainable success and personal fulfillment as a CEO.
Contrary to academic business school programmes…
Insights from insiders… you work with boardroom insiders, leading C-level coaches and advisors. Thus, IGNITE is rooted in 20+ years of coaching and consulting C-suite executives and their teams in challenging situations.
Practice for impact… you anchor your insights into daily work in a thorough 3-month Self-learning Phase between the 2 Residency Modules. We support you with 1:1 coaching + structured practices based on our innovative 12-week Digital Guide.

are the peerless senior executive at the top of your organization. You may be CEO of a mid-cap company, a successful entrepreneur or owner of a large family business. You made the leap into the CEO role within the last 12 months or expect your transition soon.
In taking charge, you make progress in building the basefor future success – putting your new Executive Board in place, aligning your organization around a new strategy and creating first visible business results.
But you understand: What brought you here, won’t get you there! Your personal accountability reaches far beyond the obvious. Delivering short-term results is not enough and managing the business is only the easiest part of your job.
You are aware that in face of ambiguity and disruption any fixed routine thinking – even if rooted in past success – is a risk. Your dedication is to leave more than a trace. And you know: developing your unique leadership footprint starts with strengthening your inner core and your self-awareness.

Most new CEOs perceive themselves in their first 6 to 12 months in the new job as underperforming on own and other’s expectations – frictions, mental stress and a lack of personal reflection make most executives focus exclusively on the WHAT, not the equally crucial HOW.
