Coaching at EBS University: Personal. Effective. Leading.
For more than 25 years, we have supported people on their path to excellent leadership. Our coaching approach combines sound scientific insight with proven practical experience, and it is individual, respectful and conducted as equals.
We are convinced that good coaching changes not only behaviour but also mindset. That is why we work in a systemic, strengths-based way, always as equals, with students, executives, teams and companies.

- Systemic and strengths-based: We see the whole person in the context of their organisation and nurture their potential.
- Long-standing experience: 20 years of coaching at EBS, with more than 500 coaching processes every year.
- Highly qualified coaches: All of our coaches have thorough training and extensive practical experience.
- Integrated and well connected: Coaching is not only part of our programmes, but also part of our ethos as a university.

Lasting change, both professionally and personally
The individual modules of the EBS training to become a Systemic Coach have changed my life, both professionally and personally.
Thanks to the different facets of systems theory and constructivism, I can approach and resolve organisation-related issues in a more structured and, above all, more nuanced way. In my leadership role, and at the interface with different stakeholders, I can apply the course content every day, reflect on it and thereby improve.
On a personal level, the training was incredibly enriching, offering real added value and opening up many unexpected doors and opportunities.

Tailored to your company
Every team is unique, and so are our in-house programmes. Together, we develop bespoke formats that unlock potential, strengthen team spirit and enable lasting change.

Expertise meets personality
Behind every excellent training programme there are always excellent personalities. That is why we rely on experienced practitioners such as Daniel Salamon, Michael Hartmann, Christoph Glaser and Herbert Dreier, who apply their knowledge in practice every day as active consultants, international coaches and experienced executives.
They bring their valuable experience of working with DAX-listed groups, Fortune 500 companies and international organisations directly into the seminar room.
You will therefore not only learn sound theory, but also benefit from first-hand insight into the current challenges of the modern working world and the most effective solutions. It is this unique combination of practical relevance, scientific depth and genuine passion for developing people that sets our programmes and our lecturers apart.

Your bespoke corporate programme
Invest purposefully in your most important resource: your employees. We also offer all of our established coaching and leadership programmes as exclusive in-house programmes for your specialists and managers.
We tailor the content and focus areas precisely to your corporate culture, your strategic goals and the specific challenges your teams face. In this way, you can strengthen leadership skills and team dynamics across your entire organisation.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a selection or application interview?
Yes. A no-obligation advisory and introductory conversation with Sina Röther beforehand is a requirement for taking part in our coaching and leadership programmes. It also gives both sides the chance to talk things through so that any questions can be answered.
Why do you place such importance on getting to know each other personally, how does it take place?
The introductory conversation can take place by telephone or via Microsoft Teams, and gives you the opportunity to find out about the coaching and leadership programmes in detail. In the confusing jungle of coach training courses and offerings, we are told time and again that the no-obligation consultation provides reassurance.
What payment options do you offer?
For a one-off fee of €100, the Executive School at EBS University allows participants to set up their own individual instalment plan.
Can the training be claimed for tax purposes?
In principle, the tuition fees for the certificate programmes, as well as additional meal costs, accommodation and travel expenses, can be claimed as income-related expenses (Werbungskosten). For your personal tax situation, we recommend consulting your tax adviser, as the Executive School at EBS University is not permitted to provide tax advice.
Can I apply for educational leave for the training?
Whether a certificate programme can be recognised as educational leave depends on the federal state in which your employer is based. You can use up to 5 working days per calendar year as educational leave, or up to 10 working days if you combine them across two calendar years. Please get in touch with us!
What happens in the event of illness?
If you are ill or miss a coaching or leadership block, you can easily make it up in one of the following year's cohorts.
If you cancel the course, the terms and conditions of the Executive School at EBS Universität apply.
How does the registration process work?
Registration takes place via our Coaching & Leadership website, where you will be guided through the registration process step by step.
You will need to upload the following documents during the online registration process:
- Current CV
- Where applicable, the completed and signed form for cost coverage of up to 100% by your employer, or for cost sharing with you personally
Once you have made your decision, you should register on a binding basis as soon as possible, as places are limited to 16 participants and demand is very high.
If you have any questions, we will be happy to help.
What is included in the price?
For our coaching and leadership programmes, the tuition fees include all course materials. The fees also cover refreshments during breaks, lunch (restaurant visits) and examinations at the first and second attempt. An examination fee is charged for each further resit.
Ready for the next step?
Every development path is individual. Would you like to find out which training will best support you or your team?
We take the time to understand your individual needs and to show you the suitable options, with no obligation.
