Executive coaching & leadership facilitation for leaders navigating complexity, transition & change
I work with senior leaders, executive teams, and global leadership cohorts who need space to think clearly, reflect honestly, and lead with greater steadiness under pressure
I’m Derek Lauber, an executive coach and leadership facilitator based in Germany, working across EMEA and the U.S. For more than 20 years, I’ve supported leaders in multinational, consulting, executive education, and complex organizational environments. My work helps leaders strengthen judgment, stay grounded under pressure, and move through transition with more clarity and humanity.
Experience includes work with leaders and organizations across PwC, Salesforce, Colgate-Palmolive, Fannie Mae, UNC, and other multinational, public, and executive education contexts.
How I work
My work sits at the intersection of executive coaching, leadership facilitation, and small-group development. Across all three, the focus is the same: creating the conditions for clearer thinking, more honest reflection, and more grounded leadership in the middle of real complexity.
