As founding pastor, I offer pastoral counseling, spiritual direction and executive coaching to Christian entrepreneurs; I design and teach online courses on kingdom entrepreneurship and servant leadership; and I provide pastoral care to a growing community of Christian entrepreneurs and leaders from all over Europe.
Leadership Educator & Executive Coach at Nicole Schaller Coaching, Frankfurt,
2010 – 2021
Founded as an organizational consultancy, this practice evolved to combine executive coaching and online education for entrepreneurs and leaders. I accompanied entrepreneurs as they confronted the management and leadership challenges that came with creating a startup, scaling a business, or reinventing an organization. The focus was on approaches to management innovation and leadership development that were particularly suitable for startups and growth companies, delivered through both individual coaching and online courses.

Hi, my name is Nicole Schaller and I am serving you as pastor and coach at Kingdom Entrepreneur.
For 10 years I have educated and coached entrepreneurs to tackle the management and leadership challenges that come with starting, scaling, and innovating a business. Prior to that, I worked as a business administrator in European small, medium, and large enterprises in professional B2B industry and services for 15 years.
With a master’s degree in business management from FernUniversität Hagen specializing in leadership and organizational development, I am now studying biblical and theological sciences at Facoltà Valdese di Teologia, Rome, to qualify as a pastor for entrepreneurs.
As a disciple of Jesus, I know what it feels like to be on a steep learning curve, trying to figure out how to follow Jesus and serve his people by leading. Jesus sought me out right where I was, studying servant leadership. So I decided to share with you how to contribute to building the kingdom of God through entrepreneurship, leadership, and work.
As a community, we seek to grow as disciples of Jesus, step into our vocation and honor God with our work. By building kingdom organizations and engaging in marketplace and workplace ministry, we seek to expand the kingdom of God and represent Christ to the world.
Join us, build your skills, grow in your faith, and do good work.
Hope to see you inside,
Nicole
