PRIVATE ADVISORY

Power has always needed
places beyond its reach.

An independent,
protected space
outside your system.

Drei Wege der Zusammenarbeit

Manche Entscheidungen brauchen Klarheit.

Andere brauchen Zeit und Begleitung.

Nicht jede Situation braucht denselben Raum.

Manchmal genügt ein einzelnes Gespräch, um eine aktuelle Entscheidung oder komplexe Situation zu klären.

Andere Fragen brauchen Zeit. Eine konkrete Herausforderung lässt sich über drei Monate begleiten, während tiefgreifende Veränderungen der eigenen Rolle, Autorität und Handlungsspielräume einen längeren Zeitraum verlangen können.

Entscheidend ist, welcher Rahmen Ihrer gegenwärtigen Situation entspricht.

Both forms of collaboration begin with a → Power Talk.
Gemeinsam klären wir, welche Form der Begleitung für Sie sinnvoll ist.

Private Advisory Session

Raum für das, was Sie gerade beschäftigt.

Sie müssen Ihr Anliegen nicht bereits klar benennen können.

Vielleicht stehen Sie vor einer Entscheidung, erleben Spannungen in Ihrem beruflichen Umfeld oder spüren, dass etwas nicht mehr stimmt, ohne schon genau zu wissen, woran es liegt.

Wir beginnen dort, wo Sie gerade stehen.

Ich höre zu, frage nach, bringe meine Erfahrung ein und mache Zusammenhänge sichtbar, die aus der eigenen Position heraus schwer zu erkennen sind.

Gemeinsam betrachten wir, was tatsächlich wirkt, was Sie möglicherweise übersehen und welche neuen Perspektiven und Handlungsmöglichkeiten sich daraus ergeben.

Was Sie mitbringen, bestimmt unser Gespräch.

The framework

  • 90 Minuten persönliche 1:1-Session
  • Online via Zoom or in person in Graz
  • English or German
  • Keine Verpflichtung zu einer weiteren Zusammenarbeit

Honorar: 290 Euro

Final price. No additional VAT will be charged.

Die Private Advisory Session ist für eine punktuelle Klärung gedacht und kann bei einem neuen Anliegen erneut gebucht werden.

Wenn sich zeigt, dass eine Frage kontinuierliche Begleitung braucht, besprechen wir gemeinsam den passenden Rahmen.

Private Advisory

Three months

Manche Fragen lassen sich nicht in einem einzigen Gespräch klären. Erst im Alltag wird sichtbar, welche Muster, Erwartungen und Beziehungen eine Situation beeinflussen und was sich tatsächlich verändern lässt.

Dieser dreimonatige Raum ist für Frauen gedacht, die eine konkrete Fragestellung über einen längeren Zeitraum mit mir betrachten und bearbeiten möchten.

In drei persönlichen Sessions gehen wir den Zusammenhängen nach, die sich zeigen, und greifen auf, was sich zwischen unseren Gesprächen in Ihrem Alltag verändert. Ein fokussierter schriftlicher Austausch begleitet diesen Prozess.

99 Questions Nobody Ever Asked You

Sie erhalten ein exklusives Booklet mit 99 ungewöhnlichen, manchmal überraschenden und gelegentlich unbequemen Fragen über Entscheidungen, Beziehungen, Verantwortung und das eigene Leben.

Manche Fragen werden Sie sofort beschäftigen. Andere vielleicht erst viel später. Eine Sammlung, zu der Sie auch nach unserer Zusammenarbeit immer wieder zurückkehren können.

Ihre persönliche Resonanzskizze

Zum Abschluss erhalten Sie von mir eine individuell verfasste Resonanzskizze. Darin halte ich wesentliche Erkenntnisse, sichtbar gewordene Muster und mögliche nächste Schritte aus unserer Zusammenarbeit fest.

So bleibt Ihnen neben den persönlichen Erfahrungen aus unseren Gesprächen auch eine schriftliche Orientierung für Ihren weiteren Weg.

The framework

  • Drei persönliche Sessions à 90 Minuten innerhalb von drei Monaten
  • Persönliche Standortbestimmung zu Beginn
  • Fokussierter schriftlicher Austausch zwischen den Sessions
  • Individuelle Resonanzskizze zum Abschluss
  • Online via Zoom or in person in Graz
  • English or German

Honorar: 990 Euro

Final price. No additional VAT will be charged.

Dieser Arbeitsraum kann einmalig gebucht werden und bleibt auf die zu Beginn vereinbarte Fragestellung fokussiert.

Wenn sich zeigt, dass Ihre Situation eine umfassendere Begleitung braucht, besprechen wir gemeinsam den passenden Rahmen.

Beyond the Trellis

Six months

This space is for a woman who knows that she no longer wants to evolve within a form that no longer reflects who she is.

Here, the work goes beyond individual situations. We look at how the existing form continues to shape your life, your role and your relationships. Where familiar patterns of adaptation return. Where your own authority takes up more space. And what happens when this shift has real consequences.

Our continuous work together reveals what can easily remain hidden over a shorter period. I keep sight of the wider context throughout the six months, accompany the developments as they unfold, and remain available between sessions when something significant arises.

The rhythm and intensity of our work reflect your current situation and the level of support you actually need.

The process follows the reality of your life.

Beyond the Trellis is not a programme you complete.

It is a space in which you stop adapting yourself to the existing form.

The framework

  • Regular 1:1 sessions over six months, following an individually agreed rhythm
  • Ongoing written exchange within the agreed framework
  • Your private online space
  • Recordings on request, along with individually tailored audio resources and supporting materials
  • An intensive day can be included in the agreed framework when it is appropriate for the process
  • Access to your private online space throughout our work together and for three months afterwards
  • Online via Zoom or in person in Graz
  • English or German

Fees start at €8,900.
The exact fee reflects the agreed rhythm, scope and intensity of our work together.

Female Power Architect describes my work.

Trusted Advisor describes the role I take within it.

Strategic sparring provides the professional framework for our work together.

What Happens in Our Work Together

Our work begins

where your role continues to function outwardly, but you hold back essential parts of your perception, strength or vitality in order to secure belonging or maintain the existing order.

You do not yet need to know what another form might look like. It is enough to recognise that the existing one can no longer hold all of who you are.

External reality

We look at roles, formal and informal power, interests, loyalties, dependencies and consequences.

This makes clear where the real limits are and what room you actually have to act.

Inner architecture

At the same time, we look at the conditioning, rules and bonds that influence what you perceive, what you downplay and whose judgement you ultimately give weight to.

The Architecture of Female Power describes five levels: conditioning and belonging, inner rules, perception, inner authority and lived power.

These levels are not a fixed sequence. They show where particular bonds began and what continues to operate outside your awareness.

How we work

The situation itself determines which level needs attention. Some things become clear through strategic conversation. Others emerge through emotion, bodily awareness, inner imagery or energetic connections.

How you know something is changing

Over the course of our work, the parts of you that have grown quieter under the demands of your role, adaptation and the need to belong begin to have space again.

You notice sooner when you are adapting or holding yourself back. You give more weight to your own perception and judgment. You distinguish more clearly between what is genuinely limiting you from the outside and what you have been carrying out of loyalty or a need to belong. And you say what you previously held back.

External change can take many different forms. What matters is that you live and act with a clearer sense of your own authority.

What comes from this is yours.

My Perspective on This Work

My work brings together more than three decades of international leadership experience with many years of work with inner and energetic structures. I know complex systems from firsthand responsibility, and I keep both external power dynamics and internal loyalties in view at the same time.

What stays with you

“Over a period of eighteen months, Renate Hechenberger was a constant point of reference in my work.

What distinguishes her work is her ability to reach the heart of complex situations quickly and bring clarity where it is often missing.

She does not work with predefined approaches, but from an internal structure that provides orientation without oversimplifying.

This way of working together creates a space in which leadership can be recalibrated. Precise, calm and effective.”

Dr. Tanja Abwa

Managing Partner & CEO, Scheelen Institut

„Renate’s presence and work stay with you long after the session ends.”

She combines sharp strategic thinking with a depth that is rarely found — cutting through complexity without losing what matters. Her insights land exactly when they’re needed. And they stay.

Working with her has changed how I lead, how I decide, and how I show up — every day.

Confidentiality is essential

Private Advisory requires a space where a woman can speak openly without having to monitor what may later reach the outside world.

Everything you share with me remains within this space. Your experiences are never shared or used as examples, even anonymously. Nothing that happens here becomes content.

I keep our work clearly separate from your professional and private life, and I do not contact anyone within your system.

Recordings, written records or evaluations are created only at your explicit request. A formal non-disclosure agreement, NDA, can be put in place at any time.

Discretion is not an additional service in this work.

It is the foundation of the relationship.

HOW WE BEGIN

Every engagement begins with a Power Talk.

In this conversation, we get to know each other and look together at what brings you to me. You do not need to know yet which engagement is right for you.

The Power Talk is not a brief consultation or a first session. It allows us to find out whether this form of working together is right for you and which timeframe suits your situation. If my work is not what you need right now, I will tell you just as clearly.

The first step is not a buying decision.
It is a conversation about whether we should work together.

Key Questions

Is Private Advisory coaching or therapy?

Private Advisory is neither a standardised coaching programme nor a form of psychotherapy.

The work combines strategic sparring, a systemic perspective and precise attention to internal and energetic dynamics. Which level we include depends on what your actual situation requires.

Private Advisory is not a substitute for medical, psychological or psychotherapeutic treatment.

How soon can we begin working together?

Appointments for a Power Talk are usually available within the next seven to ten days. You can view the available times directly when booking.

The three-month Private Advisory can usually begin shortly after the Power Talk. For Beyond the Trellis, we agree on a starting date individually, based on current availability and the timing that makes most sense for you. In most cases, it is possible to begin within two to three weeks.

If you are working within a particularly narrow timeframe and cannot find a suitable appointment, please send me a short email. I will then see whether an earlier time can be made available.

What does written exchange between sessions mean?

Between sessions, you can share significant observations, questions or developments with me in writing.

This exchange helps us keep important developments within the wider context without requiring you to wait until our next session. It does not replace an additional session and is not intended as an ongoing message conversation.

I respond personally within the agreed parameters of our work.

How does payment work?

Das Honorar für die Private Advisory Session (90 Minuten) beträgt 290 Euro und ist vor dem Termin fällig.

Das Honorar für das dreimonatige Private Advisory beträgt 990 Euro und ist vor Beginn der Zusammenarbeit fällig.

For Beyond the Trellis (sechs Monate) beginnt das Honorar bei 8.900 Euro. Der genaue Umfang und die Zahlungsmodalitäten werden individuell vereinbart.

All amounts quoted are final prices. No additional VAT will be charged.

Do I need to come to Graz for the session?

No. Both engagements can take place entirely online via Zoom.

In-person sessions in Graz are also available. Where it serves the work, an in-person session may include a systemic constellation.

Whether we work online or in person, the quality and depth of the work remain the same.

A First Step

The free e-book Wenn niemand Ihnen die Entscheidung abnehmen kann (When No One Can Make the Decision for You) shows which loyalties, expectations, questions of belonging and personal consequences are at play in a difficult decision.

A clear framework for recognising what is actually shaping your decision.
