Management Consultant and Coach for Your Self-Awareness
Mainz & online · since 1997
Strategic coaching for CEOs and companies that need to make clear decisions when a lot is at stake. In Mainz, online, or at your location.
A quick note about using "you" (informal): I use informal address on my site—not out of carelessness, but as a matter of principle. For me, politeness, trust, and respect don’t come from the form of address, but from the way we treat each other. If you’d prefer the formal “Sie,” just let me know. In conversation, I’ll naturally adapt to your preference.
And one thing about language: When I write here about CEOs and entrepreneurs, I always mean everyone—women, men, and people of any other gender identity—equally and without distinction. For the sake of readability, I use only one form. I’m talking to you, no matter who you are.
I appreciate people who don't just listen, but who can bring about real change in a short amount of time. That's exactly what I experienced with Cordula Ahrens.Françoise Rubina Mann · English Coach Rubina, Dive & Flow English Success · June 2026
Two Ways
My work has two aspects, and they go hand in hand: I consult with companies and support people in leadership roles. And I teach the technologies of Grigori Grabovoi as a program for personal development.
For CEOs, business owners, and the self-employed. Confidential one-on-one coaching when a decision needs to be made, a conflict is at an impasse, or a situation has been taking up more time and energy than it should for months.
For anyone who wants to work with Grigori Grabovoi's technologies—from the very first introduction to in-depth training. Courses, seminars, and books at my academy.
Both paths begin with the same thing: a conversation in which we clarify what this is really about.
Who I Am
My name is Cordula Ahrens. I hold a degree in Cultural Management from the University of Passau, and I am a management consultant and mental coach based in Mainz. Since 1997, I have been supporting people through professional and personal change processes—more than 7,000 people to date, including more than 23 millionaires. Since 2018, my focus has been on CEOs, business owners, and self-employed individuals who make far-reaching decisions.
My training combines traditional consulting and educational work—as an instructor for IHK trainer certification courses, project management, and presentation techniques—with consciousness-oriented methods: NLP Master, systemic life coach, and certified instructor in the teachings of Grigori Grabovoi.
I don't artificially separate the two. What happens within the company affects the individual. And what the individual thinks shapes the company.
Educational partners and corporate clients include, among others: MANN+HUMMEL, PARAT, Huntsman, IHK Lower Bavaria, DAA, bfz, Haushofer Academy, Donner + Partner, Quin Academy, VHS.
Events
The situations vary. But they almost always have one thing in common: It’s been thought through for a long time—and yet it still isn’t moving forward.
A parting of ways with a shareholder, an investment, a succession, a location. The numbers are in, the arguments are known—and yet the decision has been at a standstill for weeks. We organize the facts, interests, risks, and options for action, and distinguish between what is speculation and what is fact.
There are some topics you can’t discuss completely openly—neither with coworkers nor with business partners, nor in your personal life. You’ll be provided with a confidential space for clarity, a change of perspective, and a solid strategy for conversation.
Always the same type of employees, always the same type of customers, always the same point where things get stuck. When something keeps happening, it’s rarely an isolated incident. In this case, it’s worth taking a closer look at the perspective from which you’ve been assessing the situation so far.
How It Works
What if every situation gave you strength instead of draining your energy?
What is it that actually takes up so much time and energy in a situation: the situation itself or the perspective from which you view it?
Anyone who always looks at a problem from the same perspective will always see the same options. A meaningful shift in perspective reveals connections and opportunities for action that were not apparent before.
This is explicitly not positive thinking. Facts, risks, and responsibility are not ignored—they are reordered.
You tell me, and I'll listen carefully. What actually happened, which people, numbers, and interests are involved—and which parts of that are just assumptions.
Which assessments keep coming up? What is it that keeps this topic so compelling? I also ask questions even when they make me uncomfortable.
The end result isn't a concept, but a decision or action—with a specific next step and a realistic timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am a management consultant and mental coach in Mainz. My focus is on confidential one-on-one coaching for CEOs, business owners, and self-employed individuals in complex or deadlocked situations. In addition, I teach the techniques of Grigori Grabovoi as part of a personal development program. I have been working as a mental coach since 1997 and have coached over 7,000 people, including more than 23 millionaires.
This is especially true for owners and managing directors of small and medium-sized businesses—often with 10 to 50 employees—as well as for female entrepreneurs and the self-employed. What they have in common is that they bear responsibility and need someone outside the company with whom they don’t have to constantly appear confident.
Two things, and both apply without exception:
A management consulting firm analyzes structures and makes recommendations. Coaching focuses on the individual, their goals, and their ways of thinking. I combine both approaches: We examine economic facts and business implications as well as your perspective, recurring patterns, and the question of what has been preventing you from making a sustainable decision up to this point.
These are two separate offerings that I do not combine. Anyone who books strategic coaching gets strategic coaching. I teach the Grabovoi techniques as a standalone educational program at my academy.
What connects these two areas is the fundamental premise of my work: The way we view a situation changes the options for action within it.
A sparring session lasts 90 minutes and costs 250 € gross. For topics that are not meant to be addressed on a case-by-case basis but rather integrated into day-to-day business operations, there are two packages: 3 months for €3,250 and 6 months for €6,000, gross in each case.
The first consultation is free and non-binding. You decide afterward what makes sense for your situation—not beforehand and not under pressure.
There are three possibilities:
We'll determine which format is best during our consultation.
You describe what’s on your mind right now and what you’d like to change. We’ll clarify what the core issue is, what kind of support you need, and whether I’m the right person for the job. The conversation is meant to help us both assess the situation—you don’t need to come prepared with a detailed description of your goals or a solution. It’s free and non-binding.
No. My services are educational and awareness-raising programs designed to support personal development. They are not medical, therapeutic, or psychotherapeutic treatments and are not a substitute for medical or psychotherapeutic care. I do not make diagnoses or treat illnesses.
Similarly, the sparring sessions do not replace legal, tax, or financial advice. If you have any health concerns, please consult a properly licensed professional.
Your Next Step
You don't need to have a ready-made solution yet, and you don't need to know exactly what the path will look like. Bring the situation that's on your mind right now. During the clarity session, we'll look at it together to see what it's really about—and whether I'm the right person to help you with it.
Important Note: My services are educational and awareness-raising programs
for personal development. They are not medical, therapeutic, or
psychotherapeutic treatments and do not replace medical or psychotherapeutic
care, nor do they replace legal, tax, or financial advice. I do not make diagnoses and
do not treat illnesses.
