Patrick
Schmid
Coach, Advisor, and Sparring Partner
for people and organizations in transition.
I support people and organizations in times of change with clarity, presence, and sensitivity.
Coach, advisor, and sparring partner for leadership and transformation, with a sense for what matters and a flexible set of methods.
I offer what I once needed myself: presence, clarity, impulses, a space or silence.
That is my contribution. And because every act of accompanying also lets me grow.
Why work with me?
Because I guide people and organizations through transitions: clear, present, and with trauma-sensitive depth.
I combine international leadership experience and coaching expertise, and I hold spaces where uncertainty, complexity, and tension are welcome.
This creates purpuseful direction, resonance, and movement for decision-makers, teams, and individuals.
What others say about me
I don’t fully identify with labels like coach, trainer, mentor, or consultant.
I prefer the word companion (German: Begleiter) — because for me it holds all of these roles including leadership, and more.
I experienced you as someone who truly wants to understand the other person and has the ability to set aside your own ego completely. You are one of the best coaches I’ve had the privilege to meet.
I was deeply moved by the openness and authenticity with which you spoke, and by the presence with which you listened and mirrored me.
Thank you, dear Patrick—you inspired me and gave me the courage to stretch my boundaries. Thank you for your presence.
