About Me

Introducing AI changes roles, responsibilities and how leaders see themselves. These are exactly the questions I have been working on for 40 years – with leaders, teams and organisations.
Eckhard Schoelzel

Experience

I have 25 years of leadership experience leading my own team of trainers, as part of a total of 40 years of professional practice as a trainer, coach, and consultant.

A systemic perspective is a consistent hallmark of my work: I never view the individual and the organization in isolation from one another, but always in interaction—change in individuals affects the system, and change in the system affects individuals.

Qualifications

I hold a degree in psychology with a focus on industrial and organizational psychology from the University of Hamburg, and have since continuously pursued further training in leadership and management. This is complemented by my own training in coaching and facilitation (ICF-certified—the internationally recognized quality standard for professional coaching).

Services

At the heart of my work is coaching on leadership and management topics, complemented by organizational development projects with teams and entire organizations. Currently, AI is a key focus for many organizations. That’s why, since 2025, I’ve also been offering tools that support the adoption and implementation of AI: here, too, the human factor is the bottleneck.

In doing so, I rely on two proven instruments:

  • The VMI (Values Management Inventory) is a unique tool for analyzing and developing both individual personalities and the organization as a whole.
  • TMS (Team Management Systems) specifically supports the development of team leadership and collaboration.

How and Where

I work in German (native language) and English (C2). I offer in-person formats such as workshops and training sessions primarily in the DACH region—easily accessible from Munich. Coaching typically begins in person on-site and is then continued primarily online; I also work entirely online in English-speaking countries.

I am available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CET), in exceptional cases until 8 p.m., and on Saturdays by appointment.
