Hello, I’m Britta

My name is Britta Gruenig and I have been contributing to building the field of activating private wealth for positive impact over the course of my entire professional life. I’m here to make learning effective, playful and exciting for you! What qualifies me uniquely to offer this training?

I’m a thought leader at the forefront of bringing this specific coaching niche into being:

  • As Director of UBS Dialogue, I was at the time the only person in the bank exclusively dedicated to the next generation of the world's billionaire and ultra-high-net-wealth family offices. Designing and leading peer to peer next gen events in Europe, the Middle East and Asia and the United States, I put creating a positive impact at the core of these gatherings for the first time, and this theme ran through all dialogues. Topics included family business and family office transition, but also personal development topics such as purpose, passion, legacy; mental and emotional health; having a positive impact through entrepreneurship, technology, impact investing, strategic philanthropy, public policy and art collecting.

  • As Head of Wealth Holder Programs at CSP and one of the first senior employees, I helped build up the CSP (Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth at the University of Zurich, the first university unit globally to research and educate at the nexus of private wealth and impactful finance). The role included the flagship Impact Investing for the Next Generation Program, formerly in collaboration with the Initiative for Responsible Investing at Harvard Kennedy School and now in collaboration with MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. In this role, I invented among other experiential learning elements and gamifications the CSP’s spectrum of capital card game that is now being played around the world.

  • As Founder of the Personal Development Program at CSP, I have built and delivered the 1:1 coaching program for the participants of CSP programs, supporting family office successors to gain inner clarity and mastery for their impact journey. The program relies on the notion that sustainable and sustained impact starts from within. I’m leading this program as Senior Fellow for Personal Development and Coaching.

  • Since 2021, as Founder of Gruenig & Partners, I work exclusively with Ultra High Net Wealth individuals, couples, siblings, cousins, and multi-generational families who want to increase the positive social or environmental contribution they can make, and pursue personal and cultural transformation to achieve this mission.

As one needs to be in this profession, I’m a life-long learner and have earned professional certifications like:

  • Professional Certified Coach (PCC), International Coaching Federation (ICF)

  • Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), Coaches Training Institute (CTI)

  • Leadership Circle Profile Certification (LCP) and Collective Leadership Assessment Certification (CLA)

  • Integrated System Coach (ORSC)

  • Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC)

  • Double-Certificates in Family Business Advising and Family Wealth Advising, Family Firm Institute (FFI)

  • MSc in Global Politics from London School of Economics (LSE)

  • BSc in International Relations from University of St. Gallen (HSG) with Exchange term at Singapore Management University (SMU)

My goals in offering this advanced coach training are:

  1. I intend to leverage my expertise by guiding and empowering coaches like you, and thereby amplify and multiply my own positive impact.

  2. I am at capacity in my practice and don’t want to be the bottleneck in my own work. Therefore, through the training I intend to identify qualified, aligned, trusted peers that I could refer work to in the future.

  3. I have also been asked more frequently if I will train coaches and/or how one can start to work alongside me as a coach. Here is my response!
