Impact Leader Programme

Impact Leader Programme · 1:1 Leadership Coaching

From Quiet Success to Real Impact

You’ve built a career most people would call a success — a decade or more in, probably already leading others. But lately the question isn’t “what’s next” — it’s “who do I actually want to become from here.” This is a 6-month, 1:1 leadership coaching path through that threshold, with your progress tracked, not just felt.

Where This Usually Starts

None of this is failure. It’s a threshold.

Successful, But Quietly Unsure

You’re not failing at anything. That’s almost the problem — nobody around you is asking if you’re okay, so you stopped asking yourself.

Carrying Pressure Alone

You’ve gotten good at holding it together. Good enough that the people around you have no idea how much you’re actually carrying.

Saying the Right Things, Landing the Wrong Way

You know what you want to communicate. Somewhere between your head and the room, it doesn’t land the way you mean it to.

A Network That Feels Like Networking

You know you should be building relationships. It still feels transactional — like performing, not connecting.

You Know Yourself Less Than You Used To

Somewhere in the climb, you stopped checking in with yourself as often as you check in on everyone else.

Fears You Thought You’d Outgrown

Old doubts are resurfacing — not because you’re regressing, but because you’re standing somewhere new enough to see them again.

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

Momentum you don’t rebuild easily.

Without a clear plan, career uncertainty doesn’t just persist — it deepens. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months. You risk accepting opportunities out of desperation, not alignment. Stress and burnout start affecting your relationships, health, and self-worth. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

How the Programme Works

Four phases, worked through together — not a fixed curriculum.

01

Clarifying Fears & Patterns

What’s actually driving the doubt. What’s yours to work through, and what’s just noise you’ve been carrying.

02

Clarifying Roles & Exploring New Paths

Who you are in each part of your life — not just your title — and what real options actually exist from here.

03

Integration & Commitment

Turning insight into an actual shift in how you decide, communicate, and show up.

04

Activating Your Resources

Running throughout: the people, practices, and structures that keep the change standing after the programme ends.

  • 6 months, structured but flexible
  • Progress measured at 3 checkpoints — not just felt
  • Grounded in 13+ years of coaching experience, not generic leadership tips

Leadership Coaching, Based in Berlin

Built as a 6-month programme, not a quick fix.

The Impact Leader Programme is a 6-month, 1:1 leadership coaching programme (English or German), for experienced professionals and leaders — typically 5+ years into their career, often already managing others — moving into their next level of impact. Based in Berlin and delivered online worldwide; in-person sessions in Berlin are possible. Structured around 3 levels: Transition, Support, Excellence. Progress is measured across 10 factors at 3 checkpoints, not just felt. Grounded in 13+ years of coaching experience, an academic background in communication science, and Niv’s own international professional experience — including work with organisations like F.A.Z., EXXETA, and Amboss. Pricing starts at 1,900 EUR.

What Actually Changes

Not new skills. A different way of standing in the role.

Someone Who Actually Gets It

Not generic advice. Someone who’s sat with 150+ leaders at exactly this threshold and knows the difference between a real block and a story you’re telling yourself.

Direction, Not Just Options

You leave with an actual answer to “what’s next” — not a longer list of possibilities.

A Way to Hold Pressure Without Bending

Not stress management tips. A structural change in how much you’re carrying, and how.

Communication That Actually Lands

Including the conversations you’ve been avoiding.

A Network Built Your Way

Not events and small talk. Relationships that hold up because they’re real.

Yourself, More Honestly Than in a While

The parts you’ve been managing instead of facing get room to breathe.

150+ Professionals. One Proven Approach.

About Me

Real Empathy

You’ll feel heard and understood from session one. A safe space to think out loud, no judgment.

Global Perspective

Coaching in English or German, with international professional experience.

What to Expect

Ready to Lead With Confidence?

01

Free Clarity Call (30 min)

We talk about where you actually are, not just your title. No pitch, no pressure — you’ll know by the end if this is right.

02

The Programme

Structured but flexible: clarifying fears and patterns, exploring what’s next, integrating it into how you actually lead.

03

Where You Land

Not just a plan on paper. A version of yourself that can hold the next level without bracing for it.

Real Results from Real People

What changed for them.

Design Lead

On paper, everything was fine. I was successful — but I wasn’t actually at ease, and I wasn’t really in good exchange with the people I was leading. Working with Niv, I learned I could be far more flexible than I thought. I picked up real tools for self-organization, self-leadership, and resilience. But the bigger shift was communication — I stopped managing conversations and started actually having them. Honestly, this changed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined going in.

Marketing Team Lead & Founder

I was a father of two, holding down a marketing lead role at a company and running my own thing on the side — wearing a lot of hats, mostly just juggling. Niv helped me actually see where my core strength is, and how to build a life around that — following what matters to me, still being there for my family, and actually having time for myself too. I wouldn’t have thought that was possible going in.

Head of Sales

Niv helped me over a long stretch of time — not just to be professionally successful, but to actually get to know myself better. I used to walk into every stakeholder conversation already three moves ahead, managing the room instead of actually being in it. His empathy, systemic thinking, and experience helped enormously. I recommend him to anyone who genuinely wants to grow, personally and professionally — and really means it.

Questions Before You Book

What people ask before their Clarity Call.

How much does the Impact Leader Programme cost?
From 1,900 EUR for the focused, 10-session path, up to 4,500–7,000 EUR for the full 12-month journey. The exact scope is set together in your Clarity Call — pricing depends on duration and depth, not on which level you start at.
How long does it take?
Most people work with me for 6 months. A shorter path (10 focused sessions) and a longer one (up to 12 months) both exist, depending on what you’re actually working through.
Who is this programme for?
Experienced professionals and leaders, typically 5+ years into their career and often already leading others, who’ve achieved real success and are asking “what’s next” more seriously than before.
Is coaching available in English or German?
Both — sessions run in whichever language you’re most yourself in.
Is this online or in person?
Coaching happens online, wherever you are. Niv is based in Berlin, so in-person sessions there are possible if that works better for you.
What if I’m not sure which path fits me?
That’s exactly what the Clarity Call is for. No commitment, 30 minutes, and you’ll leave with an honest read either way.

Not Sure Where You Stand Yet?

Impact works on three levels. Most people only ever look at one.

This is the same 3-level model behind the free Impact Leader Score — a 3-minute self-assessment across all three. It won’t tell you what to do. It’ll show you where your biggest lever actually is.
