Quotes From Alexander:

“Performance is all about the preparation.”

“The more senses we have in the world, the better team players we become, and the stronger our relationships grow.”

“What I’ve learned is that it doesn’t matter who you are in the world; we are all working through something.”

“Presence isn’t taught—it’s remembered. My role is to help people remember who they already are when they’re at their best.”

For Alexander, performance is not about intensity—it’s about consistency, preparation, and awareness. He believes that leadership excellence grows from the same principles that define mastery in the arts: discipline, adaptability, and reflection.

“The performance,” he says, “is in the preparation.”

His philosophy emphasises sustainable growth—building leaders who perform with clarity and calm, even in high-stakes environments.

Alexander combines coaching psychology with embodied practice, guiding clients to integrate intellectual insight with physical awareness. His method helps leaders:

  • Build presence and confidence through the body

  • Navigate complexity with composure and authenticity

  • Strengthen trust and communication within teams

  • Align personal values with organisational goals

In workshops and one-to-one sessions, he creates a calm, reflective atmosphere where clients can explore not just what they do, but how they do it—translating awareness into performance that endures.

“Alexander’s attentive listening and kind advice helped me develop my charisma when speaking in public and to rediscover the pleasure of this exercise. Our meetings were punctuated by a variety of role-playing exercises that allowed me to push back my limits in a safe and playful environment.”

Laure Gallay, Founder, Louis Origine

“One aspect of Alexander’s coaching I have particularly appreciated is his ability to offer new perspectives on the challenges I face. He consistently encouraged me to look at my problems and feelings from different angles, which has opened up new ways of thinking and approaching them. This shift in perspective has been incredibly valuable, allowing me to see opportunities where I previously saw obstacles, and helping me to approach challenges with a more open and constructive mindset.”

Karine Schweizer, HR, Insurance Company

“For me, the coaching sessions immediately offered a very open atmosphere where I quickly felt comfortable to share my thoughts and ideas. Literally, I felt a space in which I could move around and explore, thinking aloud. At the same time, Alexander did dig deeper into emotions and feelings, which I mentioned sometimes on the side, and he encouraged me to reflect further on statements and remarks. I felt appreciated, understood, and emboldened.”

Michaela Reisenbichler, Pharmaceutical Company

“Your workshop was a unique culture-building experience, and our team members are talking a lot about the impact you made – it was very well received. You managed to exceed my (high) expectations!”
