Business Succession Coaching
In generational transitions, three systems come together: the business, the family and ownership. We focus on the emotional dynamics — clarifying violations of systemic principles, rebuilding mutual trust and defining responsibilities. Once belonging, recognition and fairness are restored, a smooth and respectful transfer becomes possible.
- Define roles and responsibilities clearly
- Build mutual respect and a shared vision
- Maintain healthy family relationships throughout the transfer of ownership

Your Individual Coaching Process
Your coaching journey with us is not a one-size-fits-all approach. While we begin the process in a somewhat standard way for everyone, the subsequent journey is tailored to your unique goals and the strategies required to achieve them. Here is an outline of what the process may entail:
Get in touch
Initiate your journey by reaching out to us. This is an opportunity for us to understand you, your objectives, and get an initial sense of the challenges you are facing. Following this, we will arrange a suitable date for our first formal session together.
During our introductory session, we will delve deeper into your goals and assess whether we are a good fit for each other. If both sides feel comfortable and positive, we will agree to proceed with the coaching.
Based on the results of our first meeting, we will create a roadmap for next coachings. Fexibility is the key here. If your goals shift or new challenges emerge, we will adapt our strategy accordingly.
The coaching process is highly individualized and as such, the number of sessions you might need can vary. It may take only one session for some, while others may need multiple sessions to reach their goals. This variability is influenced by factors such as the nature of your goal, your availability, and the severity of the issues we are addressing.
Importantly, you are always in control of the process, deciding how and when to proceed. Our role is to provide support, guidance, and tools to facilitate your journey, but you set the pace and dictate the direction
Your Coach
Jan Schulz
I spent 13 years as a naval officer in the German Armed Forces where I learned to combine discipline and responsibility with effective leadership for both people and resources.
Today, I bring that experience into my work as a psychologist (M.Sc.) and as a SystemEmpowering Coach and Mediator at the Hanseatisches Institut. I support entrepreneurs and leaders in their personal and professional development.
I’ve experienced the ups and downs of personal growth firsthand. Both in business and in life, I’ve learned how important it is to find inner balance and to resolve conflict in a sustainable way. It’s not just about recognizing signals like doubt, fear, frustration, pain, anger or grief in yourself but also about being able to work through them with others and find real solutions.
My goal is not only to support growth but to create stability and fulfillment in everyday life for more inner strength and lasting clarity, both personally and professionally.
