Customer testimonials
What other customers say about working with Claudia
When I myself took over our family business, the greatest challenge was not the company – but the pressure to function perfectly.
I knew: “I must not and do not want to fail.“.
Claudia Elsässer
You’ve taken over the company – but sometimes it feels like no one ever asked whether you were ready.
Between the expectations of your family, the demands of the market, and your own desire to meet every requirement, what often gets lost is the most important thing: yourself.
This mentoring is not a classic business coaching. It is a protected space for next-generation entrepreneurs who want to activate their inner strength and self-leadership to take on their legacy responsibly — to lead others and the company successfully into the next generation, prepared for future challenges.
Claudia Elsässer supports you in finding inner clarity, releasing old patterns, and growing into your role with genuine sovereignty. Not by doing even more – but by learning to act from within yourself. For a life that is not only successful but truly fulfilling.
As a business successor, grow with sovereignty instead of fighting alone.
Grow confidently into your new role as a leader.
You learn to deal with the inner pressure that arises when you are supposed to function without really feeling ready. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and insecure, you develop genuine leadership strength – from within.
Handle family expectations with composure without losing yourself.
The mentoring helps you to free yourself from the constant obligation to “please everyone.” You find your own path – between loyalty to the family and clarity for your vision.
Reduce stress and reconnect with yourself.
You develop tools to sustainably regulate insomnia, inner restlessness, and constant pressure. This way you move out of mere functioning – and back into your strength, presence, and creativity.

The Entrepreneurial Competence Compass
Between two worlds – family expectations vs. personal identity
You don’t want to disappoint your family’s trust, but you feel that their expectations don’t always align with your own vision.
The inner conflict between loyalty and self-determination becomes increasingly burdensome.
Pressure to always be strong
Lack of clarity in the new role
The Entrepreneurial Competence Compass
In harmony with heart, mind, soul & body.
Our experience and actions are influenced by four key levels: emotion, mind, soul, and body.
The „Empowerment – Compass“ helps you gain clarity on all levels and walk your path with greater understanding and ease.
Emotional level
Here you can feel your emotions, desires, and blockages. You learn to consciously perceive your feelings without judging them. This is the starting point for recognizing inner conflicts.
Intellectual level
You sort out your thoughts, understand your patterns and beliefs. Here you will find out which thought patterns are holding you back and how you can let them go.
Soul level
This is your channel to meaningfulness. You connect with your intuition. At this level, you discover what really drives you and what gives your life deeper meaning.
Physical level
Your body is where stress, tension, and inner blockages manifest themselves. Through conscious awareness and bodywork, you can break old patterns and experience greater ease and energy.

Make a non-binding inquiry
Just send me a message on WhatsApp or sign up in the calendar. You don't need to prepare anything, just be honest about where you are right now.
Performance check-in (phone call)
We begin with an initial personal conversation. Not a sales pitch – but an honest exchange about your current situation, challenges, and goals.
Clarify the framework & start together
If we feel the chemistry is right and I can truly support you, we’ll define the framework together: goals, intensity, confidentiality. Then we start – on equal footing, with clarity and a sustainable approach.
