I'm Sandra-Lorena Bahlmann, leadership coach in Berlin and former startup co-founder. I've built and led teams in B2B SaaS and e-commerce startups in Berlin, through growth and post-merger integrations. Today I coach new and future leaders 1:1, on exactly the questions your team leads face.
"In just one session, I gained the confidence to show up more at work and left with clear, practical next steps." Venera Kozueva, Tech Lead Implementation, Tealium
Yes. What your leader shares in the sessions stays between us. In the optional alignment and feedback calls we talk about goals and progress, not about personal content.
Online via Zoom or Google Meet, or in person in Berlin. In English, German or Spanish.
1:1 coaching for people who just stepped into a leadership role, or are about to. Over 3 months we work on their real situations: leading former peers, delegating, giving feedback and making decisions, so they become confident and independent in the role faster.
Yes. I've led teams through post-merger integrations myself. Coaching during a PMI focuses on keeping teams stable, communicating through uncertainty and finding a clear role in the new structure.
Yes. Co-leadership is one of my focus topics: how to split responsibilities, communicate as a team of two and make decisions together.
Trainings teach general frameworks to a group. Coaching works 1:1 on the specific challenges your leader faces this week, so it changes behaviour on the job, not just knowledge.
Yes. I'm based in Berlin and coach leaders in startups and scaleups across Germany and Europe, online or in person in Berlin, in German, English or Spanish.
First-time managers and team leads, people stepping into co-leadership, and high performers who carry a lot during growth, restructuring or a merger.
