One-on-One Leadership Coaching for Executives and Senior Professionals

Sharpen your skills to lead with confidence and clarity.

Build sustainable habits for long-term success.

Achieve peak performance without burnout.

Align your career with deeper meaning and impact.

True leadership demands more than ambition. It demands clarity about who you are, how you perform under pressure, and where you're headed. My one-on-one coaching is designed for leaders who want to build all three - without burning out or losing sight of what matters.

​

I'm Uli Bartholomäus, a Certified Master Professional Coach certified by the ICF-accredited Certified Life Coach Institute. I coach in English and German, virtually worldwide and in person in Stockholm.

Leadership Mastery Service

Leadership Mastery

Imagine walking into a high-stakes meeting, knowing exactly how to rally your team and steer the conversation with authority - you will make this your reality.

Strong leadership at the top is not just about strategy - it's about how you think, communicate, and show up under pressure. Leadership Mastery coaching helps you sharpen the skills that separate good leaders from exceptional ones.

Who it's for

​

Executives stepping into a new level of responsibility

​

Leaders managing complexity, ambiguity, or organisational change

​

Senior professionals who want to lead with more confidence and less friction

​

Managers ready to move from doing to leading

What we work on:​

​

Strategic decision-making and executive presence


Communicating with clarity and authority across levels


Building and aligning high-performance teams


Navigating high-stakes situations with composure

Uli brings over 20 years of executive operating experience at Tradedoubler, Awin Global, Bolt, and Stylight - including P&L responsibility, international team leadership, and growth in high-pressure startup environments.

Work-Life Balance

Work-Life Balance Service

Picture ending your workday energized, with time for family or hobbies, knowing you’ve crushed your goals - you will make this a daily reality.

Sustainable performance is not about doing less. It's about making deliberate choices about where your energy goes and building the structures that protect it. Work-Life Balance coaching helps you perform at your best without paying for it later.

Who it's for

​

Leaders running on empty but unable to slow down


Executives whose personal life has become a casualty of career success


Professionals who sense burnout approaching but don't know how to course-correct


Leaders who want to model healthy performance for their teams

What we work on:​

​

Identifying what is actually draining your energy vs. what is energising


Setting and holding boundaries that stick


Building routines that support sustained focus and recovery


Redefining what success looks like beyond the next quarter

Drawing on 20+ years leading across Germany, Sweden, and the US in demanding corporate and startup environments, Uli coaches from experience - not theory.

Health & Resilience Service

Health & Resilience

Imagine tackling your busiest days with sharp focus and boundless energy, ready for any challenge. 

Your physical and mental capacity is the foundation everything else rests on. Health & Resilience coaching addresses the habits, patterns, and biology that determine how well you perform, recover, and lead over time.

Who it's for

​

Leaders experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, or low energy


Professionals returning from burnout or a period of ill health


Executives who know their health is limiting their performance but don't know where to start

Developing mental resilience for high-pressure environments

Purposeful Growth

Purposeful Growth Service

Envision leading a team or company knowing your work reflects your deepest values, inspiring others daily.

The most common coaching conversation I have with senior leaders isn't about tactics - it's about direction. Purposeful Growth coaching is for leaders asking whether their current path is still the right one, and what a more deliberate next chapter might look like.

Who it's for

​

Senior leaders questioning the purpose or direction of their career


Executives facing a major transition - new role, company, or country

Clarifying your core values and what they actually demand of your career choices


Building a personal vision that is specific, honest, and motivating


Identifying the gap between where you are and where you want to be


Creating a roadmap for a career that is both successful and meaningful

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 1:1 coaching engagement with Uli look like? 
Each engagement starts with a discovery session to understand your situation, goals, and what success looks like. From there we meet regularly - typically every two to three weeks - working through the specific challenges and growth areas that matter most to you. Sessions are 60 minutes, delivered via video call or in person in Stockholm. Coaching is available in English and German. I take on a small number of clients each year to ensure each engagement gets full attention.
​
How is this different from other executive coaches? 
Most coaches bring either a coaching credential or business experience. Uli brings both - a Certified Master Professional Coach credential from the ICF-accredited Certified Life Coach Institute, combined with 20+ years of hands-on executive leadership in global corporations and high-growth startups. That operating background means the coaching is grounded in the reality of senior leadership, not just frameworks.
 
Do you work with corporates and startups as well as individuals? 
Yes. UB Leadership Coaching works with individual executives, corporate leadership teams, and startup founders and leadership teams. Coaching is available in English and German.
 
What if I'm not sure which coaching area I need?
Most leaders find that their challenges cut across more than one area. The coaching engagement is tailored to your actual situation - it doesn't need to fit neatly into one category. If you're unsure, the Career Self-Coaching Guide is a good first step to build clarity before committing to a 1:1 engagement.
 
Is 1:1 coaching available in German?Yes. All coaching services are available in both English and German, virtually worldwide and in person in Stockholm, Sweden.
