Your areas of expertise/specialization
Business and career coaching, leadership and personal effectiveness, career reorientation, and supporting people through change processes. I place a special emphasis on complex and regulated fields of work, particularly in the energy and sustainability sectors. In my work, I also use a hypnosystemic approach: We take into account unconscious inner patterns that sometimes hinder change and find ways to better understand and harness them.
Career
Before becoming a coach, I worked for many years in the energy industry—at the intersection of communication, politics, business, and change management. I led teams, advised organizations and executives, and made complex topics accessible to a wide variety of people. In doing so, it became increasingly clear to me that change doesn’t happen solely through good concepts and clear structures. What’s crucial is helping people recognize their own options for action and actually take action. Today, I combine this extensive experience with my work as a systemic and hypnosystemic business coach.
Your “signature” as a coach:
Open, engaging, and pragmatic. I listen carefully, ask even uncomfortable questions, and take my clients seriously—without, however, getting bogged down in the problem. In doing so, I combine reflection with concrete action: Coaching can go deep, but it should also bring about change in everyday work life.
What are you most excited about in your work as a coach?
About those moments when things start to fall into place: when a vague feeling or loose ideas crystallize into a clear thought, when someone rediscovers their own strengths, or when they suddenly recognize an opportunity that wasn’t visible before. I’m especially happy when clients leave coaching feeling confident and genuinely eager to take the next step.
What should not be missing on your perfect day?
A good conversation, some exercise, and a little time here and there when nobody wants anything from me.
