Executive Culture Coach at Blue Agile GmbH | Empowering leaders to foster a culture of excellence and innovation through coaching executives, enabling teams to surpass their potential and achieve remarkable results.

I’m Eva Gysling, a three-time Olympic swimmer and executive/team leader with 35+ years in complex organisations. I know real pressure - on the starting block and in the boardroom - and how much potential gets wasted when culture is left to chance, systems are poorly designed, and leadership behaviour goes unchallenged.

My work sits where Olympic mindset, executive leadership, culture and corporate mental health meet. Burnout isn’t an individual weakness, and “tough” leadership doesn’t justify daily micro-suffering - especially when it’s driven by bad behaviour. High performance without psychological safety is a contradiction. If people pay with health or dignity, it’s not performance, it’s system failure and a culture problem.

That’s why I created The Executive Edge - ASPIRE: a clear six-module framework for senior leaders who build healthy high-performance cultures on purpose. ASPIRE turns intent into standards, rituals and tools across:

• Pressure design
• Accountability
• Resilience
• Strategic agility
• Team confidence
• Culture anchoring

Purpose:
Design pressure, behaviour and collaboration so people can deliver ambitious results while staying healthy, respected and appreciated.

Who I work with (DACH)
• Senior leaders in tech, healthcare and other disruptive environments (and their leadership teams)
• People & Culture / HR leaders responsible for culture, mental health and leadership quality
• Interprofessional bridge leaders (Product, IT, Ops, Clinical/Service) living in the friction between silos
• Selected consultants, coaches and executive-education partners who want an Olympic-tested, tool-rich system to plug into their work

Together, we redesign how pressure, workload, behaviour, collaboration and culture are handled so leaders don’t have to choose between results and system health.

What I don’t do:
I don’t train people to “be more resilient” so they can tolerate the intolerable. No glossy wellbeing without accountability. No treating bad leadership as a private issue. Psychological safety is infrastructure, non-negotiable, measurable, and owned.

What working with me feels like:
Calm under pressure; direct, respectful and appreciative; Olympic-level standards with high respect for people. We install small, robust rituals/behaviors that hold when things get tough: clearer decisions, fairer load, healthier teams, and more honest collaboration. Proof, not slogans.

If this sounds like your world, let’s explore whether ASPIRE can help you build the healthy high-performance culture you actually want to own.

Eva Gysling, OLY

Most people remember one leader from their career.
Not the title → The feeling...

That feeling came from:
→ being trusted early.
→ before confidence felt solid.
→ before everything was figured out.

And also sometimes...

✅ A responsibility handed over sooner than expected.
✅ A decision made without someone stepping in.
✅ Support shown publicly when things got uncomfortable.

Those moments stay.

↳ They change how people think about themselves.
↳ They stop waiting for permission.
↳ They start taking responsibility.

This is where leadership actually shows up.

Power moves work forward in the moment.

Empowerment builds people who move work forward again and again.

That difference compounds over time.

- People think deeper.
- They own outcomes.
- They solve problems without being asked.

And eventually:

+ Teams become stronger.
+ Cultures become clearer.
+ Results stop depending on one person.

Leadership scales through the people around it.

The strongest leaders understand this.
Their focus shifts from control to capability.
From directing work to developing judgment.

The impact lasts longer than any role or title.

Leadership shows up in the people who grow under it.
That’s how leaders become great.

3x Olympian | Executive Sparring Partner for Senior Leaders in D-A-CH | The Executive Edge - ASPIRE: High performance that protects people’s health and dignity

You don’t need more time.

You need fewer decisions.

Most people exhaust themselves
deciding what to do next.

That’s not productivity.
That’s friction.

Here’s my personal blueprint for focus and flow - simple, practical, repeatable:

1️⃣ The Anchor Task
Forget the endless to-do list.

Pick one non-negotiable task each day.
Finish it and the day counts.

Everything else is extra.

2️⃣ Energy Mapping
Stop managing hours.

Start managing energy.

High energy → deep, creative work.
Low energy → admin, emails, chores.

Match the task to your state, not the clock.

3️⃣ The 2-Minute Rule
If it takes under 120 seconds, do it now.

Tiny tasks create invisible stress.
This clears it before it stacks.

4️⃣ Digital Fortressing
Focus is a finite resource.

Treat it like one.

Phone in another room.
Messages checked at set times.

Constant availability is not a performance metric.

5️⃣ The “Clear the Deck” Ritual
End the day on purpose.

Last 10 minutes:
– Tidy your space
– Close the tabs
– Write tomorrow’s Anchor Task

Future-you starts calm, not behind.

Time management isn’t about control.

It’s about design.

Marketing isn’t an expense. 
It’s your revenue’s best friend.

CEOs tend to put marketing under "expenses," right there next to printer paper and office snacks.

But let’s be honest:

Marketing isn’t a cost.

It’s 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭.

It’s the engine that drives awareness, trust, and, ultimately, revenue.

Cutting marketing when things get tight is like firing your sales team and hoping word-of-mouth pulls a double shift.

Yes, marketing takes time.

Yes, it requires strategy.

But every dollar you 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 in the right message, for the right audience, at the right time?

That’s a seed. 

Some bloom fast. Others take time.

But the ROI always looks better than the 
snack budget.

So next time someone asks,

"𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨?"

 Ask them this instead:

→ 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰?

Not all marketing advice is good advice. 
These five are downright dangerous.

There’s a lot of bad marketing advice 
out there. 

Some of it is outdated. 

Some of it is wishful thinking.

And some of it… is just plain awful.

Here are a few gems I’ve actually heard (and why they make me want to scream into the void):

→ “You need to be on EVERY social platform.”

→ “Just copy what your competitors are doing.”

→ “If we build it, they will come.”

→ “More content = better results.”

→ “Marketing is just about getting attention.”

Great marketing isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things, intentionally 
and consistently.

The Five Worst Pieces of Marketing Advice I've Ever Heard

Redesigns don’t pay off in pixels. 
They pay off in performance.

How do I prove ROI on a website redesign?

A totally fair question.

Especially when your CFO sees “$100K website” and hears “pretty pictures.”

But here’s the thing:

A website redesign isn’t an expense. It’s an investment in performance.

So if you want to prove ROI, don’t just show 
what changed.

Show what 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥.

Here’s how:

→ Start with the baseline
→ Connect to business goals
→ Track more than traffic
→ Monitor the sales team’s life getting easier
→ Look at what you’re 𝘯𝘰𝘵 wasting anymore

Redesigns don’t make you money because the site 
is prettier.

They make you money when the 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is clearer, faster, and easier to act on.

So how do you prove ROI?

By measuring what your website makes 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳, 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, or 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳 for your business.

What’s one unexpected way your website has made your business more efficient or effective? We’re all for the hidden wins that don’t show up in Google Analytics.

Redesign Done Right: 5 Ways to Show It’s Paying Off

Tired of content that feels like a sales pitch? 
So is everyone else.

Not everything needs to be a pitch.

Some content should 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘧𝘶𝘭.

→ Teach something.
→ Spark a conversation.
→ Make someone nod and go, “Yep, that’s me.”

Because here’s the truth:

If all your content sounds like a sales call, people will hang up. Mentally, at least.

The best brands don’t just 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 at people.

They build trust by showing up with value 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 asking for anything.

Want to win more customers?

You need a starting point and a partner that knows how to work through the gray areas with you.

Truth is, most companies aren’t launching from a place of perfect clarity. They’re evolving.

Messaging is half-baked. Pages are outdated. Stakeholders aren’t aligned. Sound familiar?

Good. You’re in the right place.

A website redesign isn’t a 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 you get after your brand is perfectly polished.

It’s the process that helps you get there.

Here’s what you 𝘥𝘰 need to get started:

→ A clear(ish) understanding of who your audience is

→ The problems your product or service solves→ What you want visitors to do when they land on the site

→ A rough picture of what success looks like (more demos? better leads? brand credibility?)

Even if some of those are fuzzy, that’s not a blocker. It’s the brief.

What a 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘤 redesign process helps you do:

→ Extract insights from sales calls, support tickets, and customer feedback

→ Prioritize the pages that actually drive results

→ Turn scattered internal opinions into clear, 
unified messaging

→ Build a flexible structure that evolves with
your business

→ Empower your team to manage and iterate

You don’t need:

→ A 47-slide brand deck
→  Finalized copy for 60 pages
→  Ironclad answers to every question

What you 𝘥𝘰 need is direction. And a partner who knows how to guide you through it.

Strategic Redesign Without a Brand Bible, 47-Slide Deck, o

Gut feelings don’t scale. 
Data does.

Redesigning your website without data is like building IKEA furniture without the instructions.

You’ll spend more time guessing than assembling, and in the end, something important is probably 
upside down.

Aesthetics matter. But if your redesign starts with “let’s freshen things up” and skips over “let’s look at the numbers,” you’re missing the mark.

Here’s what data actually tells us when used the right way in a redesign:

→ User Behavior
→ Conversion Insights
→ SEO Opportunities
→ On-Page Messaging
→ What Actually Drives Results

Design should respond to your audience, not just impress your stakeholders.

That means starting with data, not just opinions.

Your next website redesign doesn’t need to be a leap 
of faith.

It should be a strategic move rooted in insight and built for performance.

If your site is underperforming, don’t throw it out. Study it. Learn from it. Then rebuild it better.

Dashboards don’t lie. 
But they do get ignored.

Your analytics are your loudest, 
most brutally honest coworker.

They don’t sugarcoat. They don’t guess. They just tell you what your website is actually doing, and, more importantly, what it’s failing to do.

The problem is, most teams either don’t check them or don’t know what to 𝘥𝘰 with the data if they do.

Here’s how we help clients go from data-overwhelm

5 Signals Your Website Analytics Are Screaming at You (and How to Read Them):

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀
Visitors are either confused or uninterested. Your messaging doesn’t match their expectations. Start with aligning your copy to intent.

𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀
This isn't a “bad design” problem. It's a hierarchy problem. Move your core value prop and CTA above the fold where it belongs.

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵
Congrats, something’s working in SEO or paid. But if conversions aren’t climbing too, your pages aren’t built to convert. Time for a CRO pass.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
This one hurts, but it’s usually fixable. Reduce form fields. Improve clarity. Set better expectations (what happens after they click “submit”?)

𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲.
So if you're looking at dashboards and feeling stuck, zoom out. The goal isn’t to track everything. It’s to understand something.

Skimmers vs. Scrollers
It’s the great CTA divide.

Some people click before the page loads. Some need to read the About page, three blog posts, and a whitepaper first.

Both are real. Both matter.

Neither will convert if your CTA misses 
them completely.

𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴 are on a mission.

They want the headline, the button, and to be three tabs deep before you finish your coffee.

If your CTA isn’t up top and obvious, they’re 
already gone.

𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴? They’re still with you.

They’re thoughtful. Detail-driven. Suspicious of 
your promises.

They’ll read everything, then scroll back up just to double-check.

If your CTA showed up too early, they ignored it 
on principle.

𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰?

You CTA like a multitasker.

→ 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗧𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽.
Serve the skimmers. They deserve nice things too.

The scroll squad is almost ready. Show them the door when they get there.

→  𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.
The early one should sound confident. The later one should sound like you’ve earned it.

Nothing screams "I'm a marketing trap" like a button floating in space.

Design for both attention spans.

Because the best CTA is the one someone actually sees and clicks because it showed up at the right moment.

What’s your go-to trick for catching both skimmers and scroll-happy skeptics?

A bad lead magnet does more harm than good. 
Especially the 43-page kind.

Let’s be honest. Most lead magnets are just… magnets for bounce rates.

A 43-page PDF no one asked for.

A generic checklist with zero relevance.

A “free guide” that sounds suspiciously like a blog post you already published.

And then we wonder why no one’s converting.

Here’s the real reason most lead magnets flop: 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦.

So, what actually works?

→ Specificity over generality
→ Utility over fluff
→ Instant payoff
→ Real positioning
→ Design that doesn’t feel like homework

Here’s the test:

so is your conversion rate.

A go-live isn’t the finish line. 
It’s the starting point.

"Is this built for future growth?"

You should be asking this before your website redesign starts, not after it launches.

Because too many websites look great at go-live and then fall apart the minute the business evolves.

→ New product? Needs dev work.
→ New campaign? Needs design support.
→ New content? No idea where to put it.

That’s not future-ready.

That’s future-friction.

A website built for growth does more than look the part. It:

→ Makes it easy to add pages without breaking layout

→ Adapts to new messaging without redesigning 
from scratch

→ Supports evolving funnels, offers, and goals

→ Gives your internal team tools to own 
updates confidently

→ Scales with your business, not against it

Your business will change. Your messaging will shift. Your strategy will evolve.

If your website can’t keep up, you’ll feel the friction every time something new needs to launch.

If your SaaS site feels solid but conversions are slow, 
You’re not alone.

This is the pain we see most often:

The site looks clean and modern. 
The branding feels good.

But leads? Low.

Conversions? Sluggish.

And no one on the team can agree on 
what’s actually wrong.

Here’s what we’ve found after studying the best-performing SaaS websites out there: Stripe, Jasper, Loom, Canva, Notion, and more.

The best sites don't just 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 good. 
They get this stuff right:

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲
Visitors understand what’s in it for them immediately.

Logos, proof points, and social validation are

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆
Fewer clicks, smarter CTAs, and short forms that actually get filled out.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹

it matters.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀

From first-time visitors to multi-person committees.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸
Pricing is clear. Value is obvious. The next step feels like a no-brainer.

If your SaaS website isn’t converting the way it should, it’s not a design problem.

It’s a clarity, trust, and messaging problem.

The good news? That’s fixable.

7 SaaS Websites That Convert (& What They’re Doing Right)

Ever wonder why some lead gen content converts, and others fall flat? 
It’s all about timing.

Content timing is a game-changer in lead generation. If your message hits the right person at the wrong time, it’s like giving them a party invite while they’re stuck in traffic. But get the timing right, and you’ve got a party in their inbox.

Let’s break down how timing affects conversions and why it matters:

You wouldn’t offer a discount code to someone just entering your website, right? Timing should align with the buyer’s journey. 

Here’s how:

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 (𝗧𝗢𝗙𝗨):
Content here is all about awareness. Think blog posts or infographics. The goal? Get them interested enough to keep reading. Offer your content 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 the user even thinks about making a decision. 

𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦: 𝘈 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 (𝗠𝗢𝗙𝗨):
Now that they’re aware, they’re looking for solutions. Webinar invites or case studies work great here. Something that speaks to the value you bring. Timing it right means catching them when they’re deciding whether or not to take the next step.

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 (𝗕𝗢𝗙𝗨):
This is where your content should be action-oriented. Timing is everything here. Offering a demo or consultation at the right moment, right after they’ve seen your value in action, can push them over the line. 

𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦: “𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘶𝘱 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”

You also need to consider the timing on each channel. 

Where are your leads hanging out, and when?

𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹:
People check their inboxes at certain times. For B2B, sending emails around Tuesday or Wednesday mornings can improve open rates because it’s when people are catching up on the week’s work.

𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮:
Lead gen content on platforms like LinkedIn should be posted when your audience is active. For B2B, mid-morning and mid-afternoon on weekdays tend to 
work best.

Timing isn’t just about when you post. It’s about when your audience is most ready to take action.

So, what’s the best time to push that lead-generating content? When your audience is primed, informed, and ready to make their next move.

🎉𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵: 𝟲𝗞 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 🎉

We’re excited to share the launch of the 𝟲𝗞 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 homepage, a critical step as they make their business public and showcase their innovative approach to upcycling metal scraps into 
high-performance materials.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲:
As 6K Additive transitioned into a standalone brand, they needed a homepage that clearly communicated their value and expertise in the metal upcycling industry. Their previous site was text-heavy and didn’t present their advanced technology in an easy-to-understand way, especially for potential investors.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗱:
We created a clean, modern homepage with clear messaging that tells 6K Additive’s story right from the start. We streamlined key sections from their parent site, like Spherical Metal Powder and Buyback Program, and ensured that the content was simple and digestible. The design was focused on clarity, using whitespace and minimalism to make the page feel fresh 
and professional.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: A minimalist approach that keeps the focus on content and usability.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: Straightforward language that highlights 6K Additive’s innovative process and industry leadership.

𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱: Designed to make a strong first impression, positioning 6K Additive as an industry leader for potential investors.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁:
 The new homepage makes a powerful first impression, simplifies complex information, and sets the stage for the full site overhaul in the future. It’s an ideal starting point for 6K Additive’s journey as a standalone brand.

We’re excited to continue collaborating with them on their next steps!
