How we work together in coaching

Depending on the individual framework conditions and the current market situation, experience has shown that repositioning takes three to six months.

As a rule, we work together in four phases:

Foundation & goals

Customer testimonials

I have been supporting managers in their repositioning for over 15 years.

During this time, I have supported a three-digit number of people from all over Germany and Europe to Vietnam and China in their search for new roles. From senior managers to CEOs. Executives from market-leading industrial companies to international sports federations.

I have collected a number of their voices here. When can I add yours?

My feedback is clear: that was a perfect consultation. Your input was good without exception. My CV, my appearance etc., it all worked. The fact that you can make such a leap again as an over 50-year-old was a surprise to me.
Michael
Head of Supply Chain Management, Chemical Industry
I learned a lot on online Executive Presence , dealing with head hunters, talking to companies during interviews, expanded my networking , higher confidence and all other intangible benefits.
Christoph carries with him a calmly, consistent, knowledgeable and likable personality. He is very detailed and helpful in providing his valuable viewpoints all the times.
Loon
Managing Director, Vice President Global Lean Transformation (Pune, Maharashtra, India), Automotive
I would never have thought that we would find such a good solution in the end to a situation that I personally felt was completely messed up. You've actually achieved a real masterstroke. And the new task is fun, exactly my thing. Thank you very much, Mr. Kopp!
Johanna
Head of Production, Automotive Industry
I'm really enjoying my new job. My learning curve is extremely steep again, which is due to the fact that I have been torn out of my patterns of thinking and acting. After many years of what felt like stagnation, I finally feel like I'm developing quickly again!
Adrian
Chief Financial Officer, Investment Banking
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. Without your support during the application phase - and by that I mean both your help during the process and your mental support - I would certainly not have achieved my goal so quickly.
I am particularly pleased that my new position actually corresponds exactly to my wishes.
Rolf
Head of Research & Development, Chemical Industry
The coaching with Christoph was a great experience. It has really refocused me on what I want to do in my future roles and career, and then helped me a lot to position myself in the right way with future potential employers.
Keep up the good work Christoph ! You are a real professional who goes in depth getting to know the ’story‘ of your client, and then tailoring your advice accordingly.

My extra service for your success

In addition to the support described above, I am happy to offer you the following services:

JOB-SEARCH Professional job search

I can now offer you real professional support in market and job research. The JOB-SEARCH package includes individually tailored

  • Market and job research (5x 1h)
  • Application sparring (5x 1h)

The first step is to create an individual profile of your skills, target sectors and target activities and other general conditions (e.g. geographical, financial) before the actual search begins for you and you discuss the job proposals and your progress with the application in the sparring sessions.

You will be supported by a dedicated recruiting professional from my partner Ampersteg Recruiting supervised.

The JOB SEARCH package can be booked in packages with more than 10 hours of consulting.

 

AI-supported target market analysis including fact check

On request, I can provide you with an AI-based analysis of your target market (status and potential) as well as your max. 3 target companies (corporate culture, strengths and weaknesses). Note: the larger and better known the target market and companies are, the more likely it is that reliable information about them will be available.

I currently use a three-stage process to analyze target markets and companies:

  • Step 1: AI-based research. Using carefully crafted prompts, I primarily use Perplexity AI for research.
  • Step 2: Fact check. The analysis will be validated content-wise and factually in Google Gemini and, if necessary, additionally reviewed manually.
  • Step 2: Report. The findings are summarized in a PDF and made available to you.

AI-powered target market analysis is included in packages with more than 10 hours of consulting scope. The time commitment is simply billed against your booked hours (usually 1 hour).

Online LINC personality profile

The LINC Personality Profile provides you with a highly differentiated profile of your character traits, motives and skills in the form of a detailed, approx. 30-page results report.

The LINC Profile is based on the most scientifically sound model of personality psychology currently available, the Big Five. It will be used by my partner LINC, a spin-off of the University of Lüneburg.

You can use the findings from the online assessment to set your personal goals and for your professional positioning and self-description.

As a certified LINC Personality Profiler, I discuss the findings from the profile with you in detail.

The LINC Personality Profile is included in packages with more than 10 hours of consulting. The time spent is simply charged with your booked hours (usually 1-2 hours).

 

Discreet VIP positioning

I am happy to support leaders who are in the public eye in making very confidential contact with existing network contacts or new contacts who are specifically targeted.

This can include initial contact with interesting headhunters, employers or referrers, as well as a discreet, i.e. anoymized, presentation of your profile to target contacts.

Top 10 headhunter shortlist

By methodically working the hidden job market, you significantly increase your chances of finding attractive positions. Recruitment consultants, commonly known as headhunters, play a key role here, as they have the relevant contacts and exclusive information about leading companies in your target sectors.

Together we develop a top 10 headhunter shortlist including real names and contact details such as telephone number and LinkedIn profile.

The Top 10 Headhunter Shortlist is included in packages with more than 10 hours of consulting. The time spent is simply charged with your booked hours (usually 1-2 hours).

Top 30 network analysis

The hidden job market - i.e. jobs that are not advertised on the usual job portals - is particularly important for managers. Your network plays a central role here.

In the top 30 network analysis, we will jointly comb through your network and develop an individual network strategy to obtain the contacts you do not yet have for your repositioning.

The top 30 network analysis is included in packages with more than 10 hours of consulting. The time spent is simply charged with your booked hours (usually 1-2 hours).

Executive Video Portrait

A picture is worth a thousand words - and 25 pictures per second make you much more tangible. Especially in management positions, you can gain an almost „unfair“ advantage over your competitors!

Thanks to my many years of experience in the production of business videos and interviews for film productions, I can put together a unique package for your approx. 2-minute executive video portrait:

  • Conception of the content together with you
  • Recording in the form of a short interview (I myself am cut out completely, but serve as a „red thread“)
  • Recording either on location at my place in Munich (4K Sony camera technology, light and sound are available) or
  • Alternatively, recording on a platform provided for asynchronous interviews (Riverside)
  • Planning and preparation of your technology (if you opt for an online version in your home office)
  • Editing & Graphics
  • Hosting the video

The Executive Video Portrait can be booked in packages with more than 10 hours of consultation.
