Individual coaching
For you who are facing a choice, a change or a decision that needs room to be thought through.
Some questions are difficult to think through alone.
A first conversation is confidential. You do not need to have everything formulated.
You will be working with me.
I am Carolina von Braun, and I run CVB Coaching in Gothenburg. Before becoming a coach, I worked in capital markets and served on company boards. That experience means I recognise situations where decisions carry real consequences.
As a coach the job is a different one: to make the thinking clearer, not to take over your conclusions. More about me.
Two ways in
The same approach, in two settings: personal or professional.
Business coaching
For employees and leaders who need clarity, direction or support in a work-related situation.
Six situations where coaching belongs
- A choice has to be made before you know enough.
- You are doing everything you normally do and still are not moving.
- The role has grown faster than the mandate.
- Something has ended — a job, a project, a way of working — and the next thing has not taken shape.
- Priorities shift more often than the organisation can adjust.
- Decisions are made in the room but lose force in day-to-day work.
How to tell whether this is right
Right fit when
- The question genuinely matters to you, not just on paper.
- You want to finish the thinking yourself, not be handed an answer.
- It needs to happen outside your own circle, in confidence.
- Something is meant to change, not only be discussed.
Less suited when
- You want an expert to assess the situation and tell you what to do.
- The question concerns ill health or needs treatment. Therapy is the right route then, not coaching.
- The direction is already set and what remains is carrying it out.
What the work involves
01
Clarity
The question you arrive with is rarely the one that decides anything. The work begins by telling them apart.
02
Decisions
A decision is tested before it is made. What you are weighing against what, what you actually know, and what you are giving up.
03
Direction
What matters happens between the sessions. We look at what you actually did, not what you meant to do.
How it works
01
The first conversation
Confidential. We talk about your situation and work out together whether coaching is the right support and whether we are a good fit.
02
What you want to get clearer about
We put into words what needs to be different for the conversations to make a real difference.
03
The sessions
We set the rhythm together. Every conversation ends with something you take further.
04
Closing
We look back at what you set out to do, and decide whether the work is finished or continues.
The shape of the work follows the question and what you want to get out of the sessions.
Support between conversations
Between conversations it can help to gather your thoughts and prepare the next step. When it is useful, CVB Base is there as a simple support for reflection and relevant material.
It makes it easier to keep the context of what you are working on — without replacing the personal conversation.
When a company makes the first contact
CVB Coaching works with individual employees and leaders in working life. A company may make the first contact and fund the coaching.
The coaching then happens in a personal, confidential relationship between Carolina and the client. In the first conversation we talk about the need, the boundaries of the collaboration and how contact works.
Gothenburg, or online where that suits better
CVB Coaching is based in Gothenburg. Sessions take place in person or online.
What is said in the session is treated in confidence.
