Strategic & People-focused
Daniel Salamon
Daniel Salamon studied psychology in Hamburg and at New York University. Throughout his studies, he was particularly interested in what motivates people within organisations and enables them to lead effectively. He has been an entrepreneur since 2014 and has held various management positions – gaining experience ranging from successful start-ups to valuable learning curves. It was through this practical experience that his passion for the psychological mechanisms of leadership and change developed: how do people manage to remain clear-headed and capable of taking action under pressure, to inspire others and to drive organisations forward?
Today, as a management diagnostician and executive coach, Daniel Salamon supports senior leaders and their teams through transformation and transactional processes, with a focus on self-reflection, decisive leadership and sustainable impact in dynamic and challenging environments. His conviction is that good leadership begins with the individual – and manifests itself in a lasting impact on the organisation and its culture.

In systemic coaching, the real game-changer for me was the mindset. Understanding that everyone has a different view of the world, and that everyone follows a different system. I learned to hold tolerance for the widest range of life concepts.
