Frederic Buehler

Heraeus, Global Head of Sales & Marketing Pharmaceuticals, Germany

The Learning format, the time blocks for learning are really good, no overload. Some team members were skeptical at the start, and then we got the most out of a short period of time. There are easy to understand videos and cloud content - all well considered.

Mark Crotty

CEO, Wagner Australia

The program for me was the perfect start for a) understanding how I could be a more effective, empathic leader, and b) starting my own future journey of being a coach / trainer to others. Gerald is an incredibly inspiring human being who combines patience, experience, professionalism, honesty and humility that I have rarely seen in people with his credentials. I recommend the course to anyone looking for self-development opportunities towards being a better leader, or simply, being a better human being.

Nitin Dani

Architect. Community Builder, Lyon, France

I’m happy to know Gerald and the program, a great coaching and learning journey that gives you great ideas and guidance how to improve yourself and your organization. You also get real business life insights. The program provides ample opportunities for practical application of tools and approaches. I can only highly recommend it.

Who’s Behind NavCoach?

Hi, I’m Gerald – a German engineer by education and a passionate leadership coach and change facilitator. Think of me as your travel guide to leadership success.

Living in Germany, Australia, and now Shanghai, I’ve worked with leaders worldwide. My journey started with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, followed by a role at Daimler in Stuttgart in 1991. Early on, I joined Dieter Zetsche’s change management team before he became CEO, sparking my deep dive into culture change, leadership coaching, and OD.

I’ve been privileged to learn directly from some of the best minds in the field, including Edgar H. Schein, David Kantor, Larry Hirschhorn, Wolfgang Looss, Hans Jellouschek, Claus Otto Scharmer, Matthias Varga von Kibéd, and Richard Timel.

In 1999, I co-founded deloop management consulting in Stuttgart, followed by deloop.Asia in 2015. Over the years, I’ve coached leaders and teams across cultures in companies like Daimler, BMW, Porsche, VW, Lufthansa, Rolls Royce, Deutsche Bahn, Evonik, Heraeus, and many more.

My executive programs include the Hernstein General Management Program in Vienna, Corporate Entrepreneurship in China in Shanghai, and APAC projects with ICG and with OSB International.
