Executive Culture Coach at Blue Agile GmbH | Empowering leaders to foster a culture of excellence and innovation through coaching executives, enabling teams to surpass their potential and achieve remarkable results.

I’m Eva Gysling, a three-time Olympic swimmer and executive/team leader with 35+ years in complex organisations. I know real pressure - on the starting block and in the boardroom - and how much potential gets wasted when culture is left to chance, systems are poorly designed, and leadership behaviour goes unchallenged.

My work sits where Olympic mindset, executive leadership, culture and corporate mental health meet. Burnout isn’t an individual weakness, and “tough” leadership doesn’t justify daily micro-suffering - especially when it’s driven by bad behaviour. High performance without psychological safety is a contradiction. If people pay with health or dignity, it’s not performance, it’s system failure and a culture problem.

That’s why I created The Executive Edge - ASPIRE: a clear six-module framework for senior leaders who build healthy high-performance cultures on purpose. ASPIRE turns intent into standards, rituals and tools across:

• Pressure design
• Accountability
• Resilience
• Strategic agility
• Team confidence
• Culture anchoring

Purpose:
Design pressure, behaviour and collaboration so people can deliver ambitious results while staying healthy, respected and appreciated.

Who I work with (DACH)
• Senior leaders in tech, healthcare and other disruptive environments (and their leadership teams)
• People & Culture / HR leaders responsible for culture, mental health and leadership quality
• Interprofessional bridge leaders (Product, IT, Ops, Clinical/Service) living in the friction between silos
• Selected consultants, coaches and executive-education partners who want an Olympic-tested, tool-rich system to plug into their work

Together, we redesign how pressure, workload, behaviour, collaboration and culture are handled so leaders don’t have to choose between results and system health.

What I don’t do:
I don’t train people to “be more resilient” so they can tolerate the intolerable. No glossy wellbeing without accountability. No treating bad leadership as a private issue. Psychological safety is infrastructure, non-negotiable, measurable, and owned.

What working with me feels like:
Calm under pressure; direct, respectful and appreciative; Olympic-level standards with high respect for people. We install small, robust rituals/behaviors that hold when things get tough: clearer decisions, fairer load, healthier teams, and more honest collaboration. Proof, not slogans.

If this sounds like your world, let’s explore whether ASPIRE can help you build the healthy high-performance culture you actually want to own.

Eva Gysling, OLY

Most people remember one leader from their career.
Not the title → The feeling...

That feeling came from:
→ being trusted early.
→ before confidence felt solid.
→ before everything was figured out.

And also sometimes...

✅ A responsibility handed over sooner than expected.
✅ A decision made without someone stepping in.
✅ Support shown publicly when things got uncomfortable.

Those moments stay.

↳ They change how people think about themselves.
↳ They stop waiting for permission.
↳ They start taking responsibility.

This is where leadership actually shows up.

Power moves work forward in the moment.

Empowerment builds people who move work forward again and again.

That difference compounds over time.

- People think deeper.
- They own outcomes.
- They solve problems without being asked.

And eventually:

+ Teams become stronger.
+ Cultures become clearer.
+ Results stop depending on one person.

Leadership scales through the people around it.

The strongest leaders understand this.
Their focus shifts from control to capability.
From directing work to developing judgment.

The impact lasts longer than any role or title.

Leadership shows up in the people who grow under it.
That’s how leaders become great.

You don’t need more time.

You need fewer decisions.

Most people exhaust themselves
deciding what to do next.

That’s not productivity.
That’s friction.

Here’s my personal blueprint for focus and flow - simple, practical, repeatable:

1️⃣ The Anchor Task
Forget the endless to-do list.

Pick one non-negotiable task each day.
Finish it and the day counts.

Everything else is extra.

2️⃣ Energy Mapping
Stop managing hours.

Start managing energy.

High energy → deep, creative work.
Low energy → admin, emails, chores.

Match the task to your state, not the clock.

3️⃣ The 2-Minute Rule
If it takes under 120 seconds, do it now.

Tiny tasks create invisible stress.
This clears it before it stacks.

4️⃣ Digital Fortressing
Focus is a finite resource.

Treat it like one.

Phone in another room.
Messages checked at set times.

Constant availability is not a performance metric.

5️⃣ The “Clear the Deck” Ritual
End the day on purpose.

Last 10 minutes:
– Tidy your space
– Close the tabs
– Write tomorrow’s Anchor Task

Future-you starts calm, not behind.

Time management isn’t about control.

It’s about design.

As a job search coach, I advocate for job seekers navigating the challenges of today’s competitive job market. 

My journey into Recruitment and career coaching wasn’t traditional it was a path shaped by resilience and determination. 

After being rejected by 100+ companies during my own transition from a Sales leadership role to Recruitment, I understand firsthand the frustration of ghosting, endless resume revisions, and rejections after interviews.

Today, I’m on a mission to make the job search easier and more effective for others. I’ve helped hundreds of job seekers secure multiple offers, guiding them to stand out in this difficult market. 

📌Grab the Unicorn System to get started. 

I’m here to empower you with the tools and confidence to take control of your job search. Let’s work together to land your dream role.

Anna Chernyshova

Working while sick isn’t loyalty.

It’s a sign of a toxic work culture.

Someone dragging themselves into work while being sick.
They’re praised for their “dedication” and “loyalty.” 

But what message does this really send?

Encouraging or tolerating work while sick isn’t a badge of honor. 
It’s a sign of a toxic culture that prioritizes output over well-being. 

📌 I created a Unicorn system that will get you job interviews in 7 days.

If you’re applying to hundreds of jobs and hearing nothing back, it’s NOT your qualifications.
It’s your strategy, and I’m going to fix that for you.

This tool will help you regardless of whether you are starting your new job or have been in your career for 20+ years. 

👉 Grab it here: https://lnkd.in/gjiddnvg
If you get it before January 20th, you will also get the Interview Prep Guide for FREE. 

Here’s why this culture needs to change:

1. Health first
↳Working while sick doesn’t just prolong recovery. It puts others at risk. 

2. Loyalty isn't burnout
↳True loyalty comes from mutual respect between employers and employees.

3. Burnout is real
↳By glorifying overwork, companies create burnout, turnover, and low morale. 

What Can We Do?

✅ Lead with empathy
↳Managers and leaders must lead by example and encourage taking sick days.

✅ Encourage well-being
↳Shift from “working through it” to “taking care of yourself.”

✅ Policy changes
↳Let's make sure that leave policies are clear and free from stigma.

No job is more important than your health. 
Working while sick isn’t loyalty. It’s a call for change.

People don't quit jobs.

They quit micromanagers. 

One of the quickest ways to lose your best people?
 ↳Hire a micromanager.

The best people don’t wait around for better leadership. They leave.

Here are 10 ways to keep your people happy:

1. Trust them to do their job.
↳You hired them for their skills. Let them do their best.

2. Focus on outcomes, not processes.
↳Focus on results, not on controlling the process.

3. Provide regular feedback, but don’t hover.
↳Check-in with your team without hovering.

4. Let them make decisions.
↳Autonomy drives performance and creativity.

5. Celebrate their wins.
↳Recognition makes people feel seen and valued.

6. Invest in their growth.
↳Top talent stays where they can evolve.

7. Encourage fresh ideas.
↳Don’t hurt creativity with strict rules.

8. Respect their time.
↳Cut the unnecessary meetings and emails.

9. Support work-life balance.
↳Burnout will cost you your best people.

10. Lead with trust, not fear.
↳Empathy creates loyalty. Control does not.

Stop managing your team and start trusting their abilities.

Your best people won’t wait around to be valued.
They’ll leave, and you’ll be left wondering what went wrong.

1. They know if you're a fit in 5 minutes.
💡First impressions are everything. Your energy and confidence are deciding factors.
✅ Be polished, confident, and engaging right from the start.

2. They test you outside the interview.
💡How you treat the receptionist is part of the evaluation.
✅ Be courteous to everyone as people talk, and it counts.

3. Cultural fit > skills.
💡 If you don’t align with the company’s culture, your skills won’t matter. 
✅ Research company values and align your answers to show you’ll fit with the team.

4. They might not read your entire resume.
💡They expect you to bring attention to key achievements. They may have skimmed it.
✅ Highlight your top accomplishments in conversation. Don’t assume they already know.

5. They want to see your weaknesses.
💡Your body language and reactions to tricky questions reveal more than words.
✅ Stay calm and show how you’ve learned from challenges without getting defensive.

6. They judge if you're manageable. 
💡 Being difficult, defensive, or resistant to feedback signals you won’t fit.
✅ Show openness to feedback and a positive attitude toward collaboration.

7. Soft skills are just as important.
💡Communication, teamwork, and EQ are harder to teach than technical skills.
✅ Highlight your soft skills, like collaboration and problem-solving, over technical.

Which one surprised you the most?
