My Red Couch Talk with Dr. Eva Kinast
Dr. Eva Kinast is a German Psychologist, Business Coach, and Master Coach Trainer. She was born in 1967, married, with one child, living and working in Munich, Germany. For Dr. Eva Kinast, coaching is far more than a profession – it is her passion and has been a central part of her life for more than 20 years. With over 10,000 coaching hours, she has guided people in gaining clarity, discovering new perspectives, and taking courageous steps forward.
Her journey began with Boudewijn Vermeulen, who influenced her like no other teacher. With more than 1,700 training hours and over a decade of close collaboration, they not only developed programs such as the International Leadership Program but also formed a shared philosophy of coaching: present, clear, and deeply human.
Eva’s academic roots lie in psychology – she holds a doctorate in psychology with additional studies in human resource management and organization. Her international research took her to the USA and China, and later she assumed leadership responsibility at Mannesmann, where she was in charge of global leadership development.
What sets her apart? Authenticity, integrity, and the joy of empowering people in their development. Many graduates of her coach training programs stay connected to her for years – to her, the clearest sign of truly impactful work.
As a certified Master Coach (MCC/ICF) and Senior Coach with DBVC and IOBC, Eva stands for the highest quality standards – and for a personal approach that truly resonates.
Spotlight on her book Mastering Leadership
In her book Mastering Leadership: The Fundamental Building Blocks of Successful Leadership, Dr. Kinast distills the essential foundations of effective leadership. Whether you have been in business for years or are just about to step into your first leadership role, this book offers clarity on key questions:
- What qualities define a good leader?
- Which competencies form the basis of successful (remote) leadership?
- Do I truly want a role with personnel and budget responsibility?
- How can I maintain a clear head and avoid conflict, overwhelm, and burnout in a demanding workday as an entrepreneur or department head?
Mastering Leadership is designed to support leaders in further developing their leadership personality – with clarity, confidence, and balance.

The Red Couch Talks
The Red Couch Talks feature thought leaders, expats, and entrepreneurs in #globalmobility and beyond. We use a red couch as a backdrop for a deeper conversation, almost like a coaching session. It’s the only furniture we‘ve had since I was eight. It’s been around the block and travelled with me from place to place. It’s almost falling apart, but it’s my happy place to chill.
