SPEAK LIKE A CEO

#111 - Get a coach and change the world. Hendrik Schriefer, Sharpist

For top management working with a coach is the norm. The platform Sharpist makes this possible for others in an organisation, so that the entire corporate culture can change for the better. The Berlin-based startup uses artificial intelligence to match managers with coaches.

Founder Hendrik Schriefer came up with the idea while working on his master's thesis at Oxford University. The psychology graduate (and later HR manager at Rocket Internet) investigated how personal contact helps with learning progress. He found that people without a coach performed worse than those with human help. Now he helps knowledge workers and organisations improve their performance and well-being at scale.

In this episode we talk about:
