Who I work with
Young academics to senior executives. And everyone in between. Often from the professional services environment – for example management consultants and lawyers. And many MBA graduates. Either my clients approach me on their own. Or I am contracted by companies – including digital start-ups as well as medium-sized companies with international production facilities.
Client and customer testimonials
CAREER CHECK
“I have known Ralph Bräunlein for many years and regularly come back to him on career issues such as job changes or salary negotiations. I particularly value his honest opinion on how well a potential new role suits me and what future career paths can result from it. The quality of his assessments reflects not only his own similar professional experience (consulting & MBA), but also his lively exchange with his broad network. Even though Ralph has a clear opinion on most topics, the communication is always reflective and not at all lecturing. This results in very constructive discussions with detailed options for action that give me confidence in my decisions. Many thanks for the guidance in now three career moves (with continuous, relevant improvement!) and the often very short-term availability.”

TEAM DEVELOPMENT
“Ralph Bräunlein is characterised by a sharp mind coupled with a pleasantly affable manner and positive charisma. I got to know Ralph Bräunlein when he moderated a round that was characterised by different interests and characters. I was immediately impressed by the composure and sovereignty with which he brought calm and lightness to the upset tempers and at the same time made the different positions and possible alternatives crystal clear in terms of content. He gave the participants enough space for their concerns, involved everyone and, in a relaxed atmosphere and with a sure hand, stringently led the process to a result that was fair to all and that successfully lasted.”

NEW ORIENTATION
“Your unique selling point is the very rare combination of empathy and structured analysis. For leaders who find themselves involuntarily in change situations, emotional help is also important. You are very good at it, but don’t advertise it proactively.”
CFO, Renewable Energies, Medium-sized Businesses, Global
MANAGEMENT SPARRING
“Ralph Bräunlein offers enormous support in thinking through scenarios, changing perspectives and defining a concrete match plan together. He helps me to clearly grasp what is achievable and to refine my approach. I felt well prepared going into perhaps the most critical conversations of my career. He is available within short notice if you need him. Sometimes we talk on the phone, sometimes we go for a spin in the English Garden.”
CEO, Proptech Startup

CAREER CHECK
“The review with you from time to time not only serves to reflect on my own strengths and to sharpen my profile precisely, but also to tap into sources of strength for the invincibility mode. After that, the next summit can be tackled.”
