A curated space for senior finance leaders who want greater clarity, resilience, and honest conversation, before stress, isolation, or constant pressure start running the show.
This is for finance executives who are interested in support, but want to understand the format, the fit, and the value before deciding. No pressure, no obligation, just the information you need to see whether this could be right for you.
For finance executives seeking a confidential and practical way to lead sustainably.
Why This Resonates with Finance Leaders
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from this. You simply need to recognize what it costs to carry this much without an international, genuinely candid space to think it through.
You carry pressure few fully understand
The finance seat comes with a weight that is difficult to translate to peers outside the function - boards, CEOs, investors, teams, and constant change, all at once.
You are expected to stay composed
Even when the context is complex, ambiguous, or relentless, you are expected to project calm and certainty. That standard is real, and it is demanding.
You may still lack one candid space
You may have strong support around you - and still have no single place where you can speak honestly with peers who genuinely understand the finance seat.
You are looking for perspective
You are not looking for inspiration or generic leadership content. You want mental clarity, practical tools, and a better way to stay effective under sustained pressure.
For finance leaders looking for a discreet and sustainable way to lead in high-stakes environments.
A Structured Space for Peers
This is not therapy, not networking for show, and not another generic leadership program. It is something more specific: a carefully designed environment where senior finance executives can think more clearly, speak more honestly, and develop practical tools for sustained performance.
Small Group Format
Typically 4–6 participants, curated to avoid direct conflicts or competitive overlap.
Online & Time-Efficient
Designed for demanding schedules. No unnecessary travel or time overhead.
Structured & Flexible
Enough structure to create real momentum; enough flexibility to address your actual challenges.
PQ Framework
Built around the Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework, combined with high-quality peer exchange and finance-savvy facilitation.
Who This Is For
This pod is designed for senior finance executives with a level of accountability that most people around you do not fully share. If you operate in a high-responsibility finance role and want to explore whether this format could support you, you are welcome to express interest.
CFOs
Chief Financial Officers carrying full enterprise accountability.
Heads of Finance
Heads of Finance and other senior leaders at the finance decision-making level.
Finance Directors
Finance Directors with broad strategic and operational scope.
What Draws Finance Leaders to Join
The reasons vary. The pattern is consistent. Finance executives who explore this pod are not in crisis; they are performing well and want to keep it that way without paying a hidden cost over time.
Confidentiality
A rare space where you can speak candidly without managing impressions or filtering for political consequence.
Relevant Peers
Conversations with people who understand what it means to sit in the finance seat, not generically, but specifically.
Mental Fitness
Practical tools to handle pressure with more clarity and less internal drag: not abstract concepts, but applicable daily practices.
Sustainable Performance
Not just getting through the quarter. Functioning well, cognitively and personally, over the arc of a demanding career.
A Process Designed to Reduce Friction
The first step is exploratory, not a commitment. You will have the information you need to decide at your own pace, with no pressure and no obligation to proceed.
Once you express interest, you will receive more information about the program. Then, you will be asked to share your preferences regarding other pod members, specifically around industry, seniority level, and time zone, so that each group can be thoughtfully matched.
The Framework Behind the Pod
The pod also uses the Positive Intelligence (PQ) framework developed by Shirzad Chamine. This structured, research-backed approach to mental fitness has been adopted by senior leaders across a range of high-pressure industries.
What it addresses
PQ helps leaders recognize the internal patterns - habitual reactions and energy-inefficient responses - that quietly interfere with calm, focus, relationships, and decision-making under stress. PQ is practical, concrete, and immediately applicable to the real challenges you face in your role.
How it works in practice
The framework runs over 6 weeks and requires 10 minutes of private daily practice plus a weekly video, both accessible through a dedicated app. A weekly pod meeting held online is where Q&A, peer exchange, and shared learning happen.
Wolfgang Brötz
I bring both finance leadership experience and executive coaching to this work.
Having worked in senior finance environments myself, I understand the pressure, complexity, and isolation that can accompany the finance seat, not as an outside observer, but from direct experience.
In my coaching, I work with finance leaders in 1:1 online coaching (German or English).
The pod stands on its own, with 1:1 coaching available as an additional option only if desired.
