About ME

Hi, I’m Dr. Ingo Rauth
Executive Coach & Purpose Expert

For more than 15 years, I’ve helped mid-career leaders, executives, and high-performing professionals across companies like Airbnb, AWS, Alphabet, Lyft, P&G, Sony, Walmart, Microsoft, Meta and Zynga navigate the turning point where clarity fades, motivation shifts, and deeper questions emerge.

I combine:

  • 700+ hours of executive coaching
  • Academic depth from Harvard, Stanford, Rotman, IE Business School.
  • A PhD in Organizational Development & Innovation
  • Lived experience: 7 countries, more than a dozen career chapters
  • Warmth, empathy, and grounded, evidence-based guidance

My work sits at the intersection of leadership, identity, meaning, and effective action.
I don’t tell people “follow your passion.”

I help them understand themselves deeply — and make aligned, high-impact decisions they can feel proud of.

Trusted by Leaders At These Organizations

There is a Name for What You're Experiencing.

Many mid-career leaders reach a moment when what once felt motivating no longer feels the same:

This turning point has a pattern. It has a psychology. And it has a path forward.

I call it The Purpose Turn.

It’s not burnout, and it’s not a crisis.
It’s a natural, predictable evolution of identity and meaning.

And when you know how to navigate it, it becomes a powerful catalyst for renewed leadership, clarity, and contribution.

The Clarity call

Gain Clarity

A free clarity call is a quiet, focused space to slow down and make sense of where you are — and what’s asking for your attention right now.

It’s a chance to think out loud with someone who’s genuinely interested in you, not just your role or your next move. Many people tell me it’s the first time in a long while they’ve had that kind of room.

You’ll leave with

  • Clearer language for what’s been hard to name
  • One or two grounded insights about what’s worth exploring next
  • A stronger sense of orientation and direction
What brought me here

The Work I Feel Called to Do

Across seven countries and over a dozen career changes, I kept asking the same question:

What does meaningful work look like for me now?

I know what it feels like to lose clarity — to outgrow a role, a path, or even an identity.
I’ve experienced the excitement of new chapters and the uncertainty that comes with letting go.
I’ve rebuilt from scratch more than once, and each time I discovered the same thing:
meaning evolves as we evolve.

My purpose is to help leaders understand this turning point — not as a crisis, but as an invitation. An invitation to reconnect with who they’ve become, realign their strengths, and design a more fulfilling, impactful path forward.

This work isn’t theoretical for me.
It’s lived, researched, and practiced.
It’s what I feel called to do.

With gratitude,

Dr. Ingo Rauth
