Who we are

Hi, it’s nice to
meet you!

We’re the ForChiefs Alliance and our members create coaching and facilitation experiences that connect minds and hearts to support every chief to lead from
purpose.

We are convinced that leaders have a key role to play in the face of societal and environmental challenges. In order to be effective in upcoming processes of organizational change, purpose-oriented and socially responsible good leadership is necessary. The goal of organizational consulting according
to our common approach is that “Every chief leads from purpose”.

We unite as the “ForChiefs Alliance” because we have understood that cooperation enables us as consultants to better realize the idealistic concerns that unite us in our professional practice. That’s why we want to bring together consultants with different experiences, to participate in diversity in the work of the Alliance and to develop a collegial practice, which supports us structurally in the realization of our vision. Strengthened in this way, we help organizations to realize their purpose, vision and values.

We’re an alliance of sidekicks who work hand in hand with front-running leaders and leadership teams– we call them ‘Chiefs’ – to empower and support ambitious growth. Our members use their first-hand experience from working in international companies and organizations. They invest time to understand your needs, design a customized journey, and make you fall in love with your potential.
