It’s not every day that I get to have a conversation with a fellow coach, especially one who joins me in the Forbes under 30 club!

It took some time for Julius Bachmann to realize he was a working coach and much more than just an advisor to start-up companies needing help in developing the monetary side of their business. He is now breaking new territory as an executive and team coach, plus serving as a venture capital advisor based in Berlin.

As a former Coach at Volate, he worked with European founders on tackling personal, organizational, and business growth topics. He also serves as a VC expert advisor to the European Commission on its Horizon 2020 program.

Phil says, “Not every athlete has a coach, but every Olympian does.” If you want to take your performance to the next level - invest in a coach.

Our conversation covered so many topics including:

• The unique health and happiness company Julius advises
• Overcoming the stigma of coaching in Germany
• The importance of non-judgment and having an open curiosity when meeting people
• Accepting people where they are in their coaching journey
• Appreciation and gratitude
• Acting as a partner to his clients
• The importance of accountability
• How reaching goals accelerates with the guidance of a coach
• Some of the successful people who invested in themselves by investing in a coach
• Julius is someone to be admired for his approach to helping others achieve their goals. He has a great talent for guiding a client’s journey to success. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did and please, take him up on his very generous offer in the notes below.
