📝 EPISODE SUMMARY What does it take to build a coaching culture inside one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, from the inside, and on your own time? In this episode of the Coaching in Organizations Podcast, Hartmuth Gieldanowski, Agile & Innovation Coach at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, shares the honest story of how a small group of internal coaches launched a coaching pilot in Zurich that reached roughly 100 employees in just two years. And it started almost by accident. You'll hear how Hartmuth went from resisting the inner work of coaching at a two-day training to becoming the person bringing that inner work to others. He shares the fears the team had going in, the organic way the pilot grew, why they opened it to all 1,300 Zurich employees rather than just senior leaders, and what they learned about measuring ROI in a space that doesn't easily reduce to numbers. If you're thinking about how to start or grow a coaching culture in a complex, global organization, this episode is a must-listen. 🧠 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Hartmuth Gieldanowski shares what he learned from building a coaching pilot inside one of the world's most complex pharmaceutical organizations. Start local to scale globally: Takeda has over 50,000 employees across dozens of countries. Hartmuth's team focused on the Zurich headquarters first, large enough to generate meaningful data, manageable enough to move quickly. Organic growth is a strategy: The pilot was never a big launch. A newsletter mention, a simple landing page, and word of mouth were enough. Demand grew steadily and stayed manageable. Open coaching to everyone, not just executives: Leadership coaching often reaches only the top tier. This pilot was available to all 1,300 Zurich employees, rooted in the belief that resilience and self-reflection should not be reserved for a few. Let people taste coaching before committing: A 15-to-20-minute taster session did more to explain coaching than any written description. When people experienced it, they understood it. Build the connective tissue: One of the biggest lessons was that coaching programs don't exist in isolation. To earn sponsorship and stay alive, they need to connect to leadership development, performance goals, and organizational strategy. "If you do the right thing and you do it wrong, it's still better than to do the wrong thing and do it right. So you cannot lose." ↪️ WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE 03:11 - Hartmuth’s Coaching Journey: Hartmuth discusses his initial dislike for coaching 10 years ago.
