About Me

I love guiding people in their development. Stepping out of the comfort zone isn’t just something I recommend to my clients – it applies to me as well. Whether it’s leaving a secure job after 30 years to become self-employed or surfing in L.A. for the first time at 50 – we only grow when we make new experiences and look at life from different perspectives. As a coach, I am experienced and focused, challenging and pragmatic, empathetic and open... always with a smile and an extra dose of optimism.

My Philosophy

Sandra Khalil

„Action speaks louder than words”

That’s my motto. Nothing changes unless you take action. Sometimes it’s tough, even painful – I get that. That’s why I guide my clients with experience, respect, fun, and the right questions. When you work with me, you get respect, clarity, and questions that lead to new perspectives – and ultimately, new insights. Because the stories you keep telling yourself? You already know them. They won’t get you anywhere. That’s why you’re here.

My Values

Guiding Principles

SIMPLICITY

Because things can – and should – be uncomplicated. This way, everything becomes easier, faster, and more effective. And often, it’s the simple things that make us truly happy.

COURAGE

Because it takes courage to make a change. It doesn’t happen in the comfort zone. Being brave is rewarded, and we often only regret the things we didn’t do.

RELEVANCE

Because the question of relevance is a powerful one – it makes all the difference. If it’s not relevant, it’s better to leave it.

Quick question, Sandra...

...do you only coach executives?

Although leadership is one of my favorite topics, I don’t just coach executives. I work with anyone who feels I’m the right person to help them with specific challenges.

...can you help me even if I’m not sure what I stand for?

Finding your footing is one of the most important and relevant "tools." No matter what you want to tackle, you first need to know where you stand and what you stand for – who you are. I can definitely help you with that because I’ve been down that rocky path myself. After 29 years in a large corporation, I knew exactly who I was and how I could help people. Then came the leap into the unknown (self-employment)... reinventing myself was a challenge, but also incredibly rewarding.

...do you only work with women?

No, I work with people who are brave, ready to take a hard look at themselves, and willing to reflect. Gender doesn't matter. But yes, I do love working with women because I believe in striving for equality, where we should all be.

...what did you do before?

I worked at Allianz – my first and only employer. I started with a training program in insurance and quickly realized that wasn’t my path. I then had the chance to explore different areas, including a trainee program with various stations both in Germany and abroad. It was during this time that the HR chief, one of my most important mentors, recognized my talent for working with people. From then on, HR became my passion. I delivered trainings on topics like communication, conflict management, presentation, and leadership. I co-developed and facilitated assessment centers, and in my last years, I worked in Allianz Technology as a Talent Manager, guiding executives and senior executives along their career paths.

...how do I book a session with you?

Just send me an email at coaching@sandrakhalil.de or use the contact form here on the website. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible, and we’ll schedule a time. You can also book a free introductory call directly.

...how do I know if I want to work with you?

By having a first, completely non-binding conversation. It’s SO important to find the right coach, and the best way to figure that out is through "real" contact. So feel free to make your decision after we’ve spoken.

...how much does coaching with you cost?

That really depends on the topic and whether I’m working with a company or with private clients. Sometimes I also offer special packages, so check my website, Instagram, or LinkedIn for updates. For specific pricing information, feel free to send me a message.
