Matthias Gruendler

Matthias helps his clients better leverage the synergies between strategy, culture and identity so they can lead with more positive, productive impact. He has supported organizations as a coach, facilitator and mentor since 2005. Matthias is committed to a conscious and dynamic focus on the management of identity as a leadership practice. Like an acupuncturist, he looks for the root causes that block progress while uncovering the key drivers that enhance clarity, alignment, well-being, agility, resilience and confidence. His executive background as a board member and team leader in the communications industry, combined with his skills as an artist/painter, allow him to re-frame challenges into frameworks and metaphors that can be easily understood.

As a faculty member of Telefonica’s Corporate University, he has designed and delivered transformational programs that have disrupted “business as usual” and unleashed fresh sources of energy for front- and back-office executives across multiple countries. Matthias is an accredited Business and Action coach certified across multiple diagnostics and methodologies, for example: Team Coaching International (TCI), Culture Transformation Tools (CTT), Self-Managing Leadership (SML), Organizational Relationship Systems (ORSC), Team Management Systems (TMS), and the Leadership Circle.

Specialties: identity as a leadership practice, transformational programs, strategy, culture.
