Directory of Certified Coaches

All Certified NeuroTransformational Coaches have first completed a recognized coach training program* before completing all four modules of BEabove Leadership’s Neuroscience, Consciousness and Transformational Coaching, a total of over 81 classroom hours (in addition to their core coach training). Upon completion of these modules, our certified coaches have then completed a rigorous Certification Program, which includes additional reading, review, coaching supervision and feedback. At the end of this program, they must pass a comprehensive written test (essay format) covering key neuroscience topics, as well as a one-to-one interview and coaching proficiency test. We’re very proud to recommend all our CNTCs as transformational coaches and experts in the neuroscience of human development. *in some rare cases, they may instead be trained as therapists — see individual information for more detail.
Friederike Ranft
Macula Executive Coaching
Business Focus
Friederike “Frie” Ranft is an executive coach and founder of Macula Executive Coaching. She helps CEOs, founders, and senior leaders become coherent at pivotal moments. Integrating neuroscience with deep inner work, she aligns mind, heart, and gut intelligence—enabling leaders to operate at their very best without the internal cost, sustainably.

Frie brings a calm, precise, and deeply human presence to her coaching work. Her style is conversational yet challenging, creating the conditions for leaders to think more clearly, listen more accurately to themselves, and act with greater intention. Rather than adding frameworks or tactics, she focuses on removing internal noise that distorts judgment and drains energy.

Her work is informed by neuroscience, identity-based development, and lived experience in demanding international leadership environments. Having built and led ventures across cultures, Frie understands the pressures of responsibility, growth, and visibility from the inside. She is particularly effective with founders and senior leaders who are outwardly successful yet internally stretched.

Clients value her ability to hold complexity, name what others avoid, and strengthen agency without force. Frie works in English, German, Spanish, and French, and partners with leaders who are ready to evolve how they lead—without losing performance, ambition, or themselves.
