philosophy
“We cannot change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails.” (Aristotle)
For me it is important to activate and expand the coachee’s own abilities, enabling him or her to integrate different perspectives, develop new and appropriate approaches, and then implement these in a self-responsible and sustainable way.

Complex challenges, new technologies and a dynamic business environment characterize our working life. Leading ourselves and others in a flexible, effective and respectful way is becoming increasingly important. I support individuals to master those challenges and develop their full potential – to their own as well as to their organization‘s benefit. Coaching challenges are:
How to manage successful leadership transition
How to master complex organizational change as an executive: coping with uncertainty and ambiguity, how to communicate effectively: conducting difficult conversations, giving presentations, facilitating workshops,
How to handle conflict in a solution-oriented way
Self-management: authenticity, reflecting purpose, beliefs, values, patterns and developing main actions, handling stressful situations
How to master professional re-orientation: assessing own competence profile, evaluating different options, creating suitable applications, preparing interviews, handling transition and on-boarding

process
A first, explorative meeting allows us to find out what you need and whether we can work together. Once the decision to work together has been made, we will analyze your situation based on the previously agreed objectives. We will then identify options for actions or behavioral alternatives in a given situation and develop implementation strategies for your objectives.
Together we will monitor your realization practice, reflecting on your personal beliefs, values, patterns and any other challenges that may arise, that may either be conducive or obstructing your development.
Scope and duration of the coaching process is entirely contingent on your expectations and your objectives. The coaching can take place either face-to-face, by phone or virtually. The process ends with a final review.
