Our story

We learned productivity and scaling up the expensive way. One of our co-founders, Andrej, spent six years in London at an international company whose working environment was best described as Navy SEAL-like: uncompromising and oriented towards producing results. Sixteen-hour days, six days a week, and six months a year on the road. Productivity wasn’t a subject there. It was the only reason the pace was survivable.

That’s where our core belief comes from, and it hasn’t moved since. Performance is rarely the problem. What sits underneath it usually is: the conditions, the habits and the mindset. We don’t fix founders and their leadership teams. We build, with them, the operating system they stand on.

Our practice draws on two powerful methodologies, Mission Control® Productivity and Scaling Up®. It’s built on a personal approach that brings your work and personal life together into one meaningful, integrated life, where your business and the people running it move at the same speed and with the same zeal.

2018

The Klokner Consulting

In the early days, we offered productivity and executive coaching to leadership and management teams inside UK-based global companies. Our own corporate background, in operations, marketing and HR at Accenture, Huawei and others, meant we were training people in rooms we’d already sat in ourselves. It didn’t take long before founders started asking for the same thing one to one.
2020

Certifications

We became certified in productivity and execution coaching, and a licensed partner of Mission Control® Productivity. We began delivering our services across the UK, the US and Australia.
2021

Founders, one to one

As well as training teams inside large organisations, we began working directly with start-up owners across the UK and the US: smaller rooms, higher stakes and one person carrying the whole thing.

That’s also when we stopped trying to be the smartest and hardest-working people in the room, and started building relationships with experts in their fields instead. It’s been the single biggest change in how our business has grown.
2023

Online products

Our portfolio expanded beyond individual and group coaching and consulting to include online products that other business coaches and companies use to onboard their clients.
2024

Scale-up coaching for SMEs

As we grew our own business alongside the founders we partnered with, the pattern repeated at a larger scale. Founders of established SMEs came to us with familiar growth challenges: a business that ran entirely through them, and employees who kept asking the same questions. We began delivering practical scale-up coaching and marketing strategy to companies at that stage across the UK, Europe and the US. We work on strategy, people, execution and cash alongside the productivity work, because the system and the owner’s own capacity have to move together, or neither moves at all.
2025

A gold mine in South Africa

Our largest engagement to date has been with a gold-mining company of 6,000 people, where we worked with 160 C-level, senior and middle managers. It’s been the clearest test of our method yet: a workforce at that scale, in an industry where execution is never abstract, and the same principles holding all the way down.
2026

The Klokner Network today

We changed our name to make clear what we offer founders and their leadership teams: a safe space, built by proven senior coaches and mentors with lived experience, with shared delivery and a 100% focus on results. Our clients get to work ‘on their business’ while they’re still working ‘in it’.

Our values

A business can only grow as much as its leaders do. These values are the
foundation of our work and the principles that guide every founder we partner with.

Adventure

We choose the harder path, because that’s where we grow.

Responsibility

We take ownership, so we can create lasting impact.

Humanity

We stay kind, curious, and real, in every win and every challenge.

What our clients say

Founder to CEO Business Growth Coaching

“Thanks to coaching and other CEOs in my group, I reconnected to my purpose for running the business and set up a transparent financial management system, which doubled the company’s EBITDA in six months. Before the CEO and Executive Team Program, we were stuck in that painful scale-up phase – growth had stalled, and I was constantly firefighting instead of leading. With Andrej’s leadership we now have a clear strategy that our entire team understands and executes, including KPIs for each file. Our revenue is growing again, our margins have improved, and to be ready complete my exit in next year. And the best part? I’m enjoying being a CEO again – the passion is back.”

Eva Stefankova

Founder & Management Scale up Coaching

“The four-part CEO Business Leader Program structure was exactly what we needed. Working with other CEOs on Strategy gave us clarity on how to win, Execution aligned our team so we stopped stepping on each other’s toes, People helped us build the high-performing culture we’d always wanted, and Cash flow finally gave us the financial discipline to fund our growth properly. After my calls with my group I worked through the topics with our team of 6, and now we operate like a well-oiled machine. We’ve doubled our cash flow in 8 months and I’m finally taking the dividends. This program doesn’t just fix your business – it gives you your life back.”

Christian Janelle

SRS Real Estate Partners

Productivity & Executive Coaching

“The impact of Andrej’s program goes beyond just productivity—it’s about creating a high-performance mindset. I no longer feel like I’m just ‘getting through’ my days. I’m making intentional decisions, leading with confidence, and achieving results without burnout. The best part, I reconnected with my family and l started to listen to my daughter rather than giving her advices. My life is transformed.”
