Executive Transition & Strategic Sparring
Position yourself clearly for your next career step – without compromising your experience.
I am Astrid Steingrüber and I work with senior leaders in transition – particularly when long-standing internal success needs to be translated into a clear and credible position in the external market.
Are you currently at a turning point in your career?
- You have built a strong track record – and are now questioning your next step
- You are facing a transition and want to approach it strategically
- Your experience is substantial, but not yet clearly positioned in the external market
- You want to make a well-grounded decision about your next move
Many experienced leaders reach this point – especially when moving beyond long-standing roles in established organizations.
Hello, I’m Astrid Steingrüber
After more than 20 years in international leadership roles, I understand the dynamics, expectations, and decision-making processes within complex organizations from first-hand experience.
Today, I work with senior leaders in transition – particularly when it comes to translating long-standing experience into a clear and credible position in the external market.
In individual sparring, I support you in gaining clarity, making well-grounded decisions, and shaping your next step deliberately.
Focus of our work
In individual sparring, we address the key questions that arise in professional transition phases and complex decision-making situations.
The focus is on:
- Strategic positioning in the external market
Developing a clear and credible executive profile that resonates beyond your current context - Clarity and decision-making
Reflecting on your role, experience, and next steps in complex and open situations - Presence and impact in critical moments
Sharpening your message, positioning, and executive presence in high-level conversations - Navigating internal tensions and uncertainty
Understanding self-doubt in the context of expectations, roles, and organizational dynamics
The collaboration is individually tailored and takes place within a structured sparring process – typically over several months.
Format: 1:1 Sparring
Timeline: ca. 4 – 6 Month
Goal: The objective is a clear and sustainable positioning, as well as well-grounded decisions for your next professional phase.
How we work together
Initial conversation
In an initial conversation, we clarify your current situation, your key questions, and the context in which you operate.
This also serves to assess whether a collaboration is meaningful and which topics should be in focus.
Start of the collaboration
At the outset, we establish a clear picture of your starting point: your role, your experience, the relevant context, and the questions you are currently facing.
Based on this, we define the priorities for our work together.
Sparring process
As we move forward, we work in a focused way on your key topics – particularly positioning, decision-making, and your role within the given context.
The sparring is structured, reflective, and consistently aligned with your specific situation.
Reflection and closure
At the end of the process, we reflect on the development and the decisions made.
The aim is for you to leave the collaboration with a clear positioning and a well-grounded basis for your next steps.
What changes for you
- You gain clarity on your positioning in the external market
- You make well-grounded decisions in complex situations
- You show up with clarity and impact in critical moments
- You place challenges within the broader context of organization and role
- You shape your next professional phase deliberately and strategically
