about Sandra
Sandra Künzler – Executive Coach and sparring partner for sustainable success.
IT'S ME
Sandra Künzler – Leadership and Executive Coach with a clear goal:
Executives who work with me make decisions faster, communicate clearer under pressure, and drive their teams to peak performance without burning out along the way.
Enabling this effectiveness is my passion. Empathy, sensitivity, and a genuine interest in people have also helped me, as a leader, to quickly understand people as a whole and build trust—the foundation for any genuine behavioral change.
With over 20 years of corporate experience, my own leadership responsibilities, and the ability to perform at my best even under pressure, I understand the daily challenges my coachees face from personal experience, not just from theory. CEOs and executives value a trusting dialogue on equal footing and appreciate that I help them achieve lasting success during challenging times.
Coaching and inspiring people is my passion! I love to support people to find their strengths and achieve sustainable changes in their lives and daily leadership.
Recognizing a person's potential and strengths and enabling them to achieve top performance is my passion.
The greatest leverage lies in establishing a corporate culture where economic success and personal purpose go hand in hand. When companies clearly define and authentically embody the purpose of their work, this not only fosters engagement and individual potential development, but also leads to improved employee motivation and strengthens company loyalty.
I understand you and your challenges.

Roots in competitive sports
As an athlete, I've learned to deal with challenges, build mental strength, and achieve peak performance. Defeats and setbacks are also part of the path to success and personal growth.
As a passionate marathon runner, I know:
The mind is crucial for performing under pressure and dealing with adverse circumstances.
Mindset determines victory or defeat.
Strategically planned recovery and breaks are equally important for long-term success.
C-level executive
I have used my experience from elite sports in the business world to succeed in demanding leadership roles. I understand the daily business environment, how to handle pressure and significant responsibility, and the constant expectation of making the right decisions in every situation. As a former CEO and executive, I know:
How to motivate employees and turn them into high-performing teams
How to lead teams through change processes
How important your own mental strength, clarity,
and empathy are for leading successfully
and staying healthy yourself.
That's what defines me today!

MY SERVICES
1:1 CEO COACHING & SPARRING

Peak performance requires not only expertise but also mental strength, just like in elite sports.

TEAM COACHING & TRAINING FOR COMPANIES
Successful teams develop
Successful teams in sports and business are based on strengths-based leadership, effective communication, and a clear vision. Collaboration at the organizational level typically begins with a 360° analysis and feedback process. Using proven methods from high-performance sports, I develop practical training programs that take leaders and teams to the next level.
— LEADERSHIP COACHING
Developing Leadership Where It Counts
The demands placed on leadership are changing rapidly. Modern leadership development therefore goes beyond technical expertise, because what really matters is how you guide people through complex phases. As a former CEO with ICF certification (Professional Certified Coach), I know this responsibility firsthand.
In executive coaching, we review your career to date and set clear milestones for your continued development. As a mental coach, I’ll show you how to purposefully build your emotional intelligence and use it to develop a leadership style that suits you and supports your team.
Clarity and Focus Through Targeted Training
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to lose your strategic focus when multiple tasks demand your attention at once. In executive coaching, we define priorities more clearly and help you structure your workday with greater focus.
As a mental coach, I draw on techniques from elite sports to help you better manage stress and maintain your concentration during challenging times. Effective leadership development addresses precisely these areas. You’ll recognize your own behavioral patterns and learn to act calmly and strategically in critical moments.
Your Path to Authentic Leadership
Employees can sense whether you stand behind your decisions and live by your values. In executive coaching, I help you align your personal values with your demanding role. As a mental coach, I support you in identifying thought patterns that hold you back, so you can fully realize your leadership potential.
For me, sustainable leadership development means creating a work environment characterized by trust and a strong focus on performance. I bring over 20 years of experience in managing international companies in the fashion and consumer goods industries to this process.
