My Red Couch Talk with Grit Eberhardt
Grit Eberhardt is a distinguished Business & Leadership Coach, Speaker, and Founder of the House of Feminine Leaders. With a career spanning over 15 years in procurement and project management within the automotive and electrical industries (including General Electric and Volkswagen), Grit is an expert in navigating complex, male-dominated environments.
Her leadership philosophy is deeply influenced by her intercultural experiences—specifically her time as an expat in Buenos Aires leading diverse teams—and her background as a competitive athlete. A former German Champion in regatta sailing, Grit uses adventure and “hands-on” metaphors to help leaders find inner clarity and a sovereign identity. Today, she focuses on Female Empowerment, supporting women in achieving greater impact and success without compromising their authenticity. Grit is known for her direct, humorous, and solution-oriented approach, often taking her clients out of the office and into the wild—from sailing ships to Husky tours.
Leading with Heart and Horizon
