Character Driven Leadership Coaching & Systemic Organizational Development

…for a valuable realignment with maximum impact

Character Driven Leadership -

A leadership development approach and a solid foundation for sustainable transformation in organizations.

I am Talitha Goldmann-Kefalas. As an “International Leadership Trainer” and Organizational Development Coach, I support leaders in realizing their full potential, finding solutions and breaking new ground. I also work with organizations, on their way to implementing meaningful changes in their processes, structures and team dynamics.

An aligned value compass, a deeper understanding of systemic change, and sustainable personal development are core elements of my work. I’ve had experience in leading diverse change initiatives, on an individual, team, and organizational level. If you want to create sustainable impact in your personal development, in your team, or in your organization, you’ve found the right person. Let’s get on that path together to bring about change that truly matters.

Coaching Journey for impactful leadership

With my “Coaching Journeys” I start exactly where you find yourself, and work according to my motto: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
We begin with an Intake Session to explore your individual goal alignment, before heading into your actual Coaching Journey. The travel metaphor stands for the process in which you gradually embark on your coaching path. The individual sessions symbolize rest stops on your hike. Their effects unfold along the way. Here you can see my coaching offers:

Leadership Coaching

Our Intake Session is followed by a three-month journey: We explore a new field of possibilities for your personal development and experiment with solution pathways. Whether it’s a future-proof understanding of leadership, applied transformation skills or practical crisis navigation – through the “Character Driven Leadership” approach we uncover your growth potential.

Systemic OD-Coaching

After our Intake Session, the three-month journey begins: Together, we tackle your challenges in Organizational Development (OD). With a combination of thematic theoretical background input and coaching sessions to reflect on your practical experience, I provide targeted support to help you delve into topics, make progress, and experiment with solution approaches.

Personal/Professional Development Coaching

Following our Intake Session, we embark on a three-month journey: We focus on your professional and personal development goals by specifically addressing the levers for effective change that are unique to you. Together, we uncover new possibilities and perspectives that bring forth your growth potential, allowing you to experiment with them directly.

What clients say about my coaching

This sentence from our coaching has left a lasting impact on me: “I can come as I am, but I don’t have to stay where I am.” This has given new momentum to my development. It’s hard to believe how far I’ve come in just six months(…).”

Setting up a new organisation comes with new responsibilities and challenges. Talitha provides guidance and support on a wide range of management themes. She turned into an incredibly valuable “sounding board” for me over the last months and allows me to approach the new role with more confidence.

Client mandates and coaching results

By defining the “Coaching Mandate” together, we create a clear picture of the goal you aspire for your upcoming development, right from the start. At the end of the Coaching Journey, this initial clarification of the assignment serves for reflection and measurability. Here you can see four examples of client mandates with their five main topics and their individual final evaluations of the coaching:

Feedback on my Leadership Coaching

In my busy workday it’s of immense value to have “external eyes” that add vision- someone who listens and brings in new perspectives, great support and useful tools. This is what I found here.

Camille K.
COO (EU)
Sys. OE Coaching Journey

To “lead by example” can be quite demanding. The Coaching helped me to understand the opportunities behind the concept of Character Driven Leadership. Experiencing the impact, which my development journey had on the company was pretty amazing.

Daniel S.
Country Director (F)
Leadership Coaching Journey

“The coaching helped me realize a lot about my role in the company. It showed me how I can position myself clearly in crisis situations within the organization.”

Karla B.

Professional Development Coaching

"Seeing and revealing the gold in others" to explore hidden potentials and resources.

This motto, which serves me as a mission statement, moves me and it has shaped my own development journey.

Whether as a leader in times of crisis, as a transformation expert in a federal ministry, in a leadership development role where I collaborated with domestic and foreign politics, in (agile) team coaching, or in international organizational development:

I am convinced that there is always this “gold” hidden in the form of potential and resources, and it is waiting to be discovered together. Here, you can read more about me and about the way I work:

Discovery Call

A first 30-minute introductory call helps you find out: Is there a good interpersonal fit? What are my expectations? What can coaching achieve – and what not? I’ll explain my approach as well as general conditions to you and I’ll take the time to answer your questions. Afterwards, you can decide whether you would like to embark on a Coaching Journey.

Intake Session

Before diving into the content of the coaching, we take the time to identify your objectives. This conscious focus serves you and me as an orientation along the Coaching Journey and is documented as a “Coaching Mandate”.

Coaching Journey

Your three-month journey begins. We meet online, via video call, in regular sessions, every two to four weeks. This leaves you time for the most important part: the implementation of the impulses in your everyday life. We find the right time balance: Enough time for implementation, but not too long that you lose sight of the goals you have set for yourself.

Outlook Session

After these three months, we look back and create space for an honest reflection: What has changed for you so far? Were the coaching impulses helpful for you? Are you on track with your goals, or have your objectives shifted? These and other questions contribute to a joint outlook on your next steps and your final evaluation of the coaching process.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about my coaching

May I book the Leadership Coaching, even if I’m not in a management position?

Yes, of course. With the “Character Driven Leadership”-approach, the focus is on attitude and character development rather than position. However, let’s discuss during the introductory call whether this offering aligns with your needs and interests.

Are there additional offerings beyond the core offerings?

My expertise lies in the area of leadership and personnel development as well as systemic team- and organizational development. Feel free to use my contact form
to get in touch and discuss your ideas with me.

Can I book only one single session after our initial introductory call/ ”Discovery Call”?

With my three-month coaching offers I support you to effectively initiate your sustainable change. This is why I do not offer single coaching sessions. Change takes time and I invite you to engage in this process.

Are there corporate discounts if multiple Coaching Journeys are booked at the same time?

Since the quality of the coaching is important to me, I highly value voluntary commitment. Is this ensured within your organization? If so, let’s have a conversation. Multiple coachees embarking on this learning journey together can have a big impact and empower a company.

May I book the coaching as a team/group as well?

The coaching offers listed here are for 1:1 coaching sessions only. Are you looking for group coaching sessions or workshops? If so, please feel free to contact me.
