Your “signature” as a coach:

  • Over 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur and managing director
  • 10 years of experience in event management
  • 5 years of IT consulting & software sales
  • Four years of project management in logistics & e-commerce
  • Three successful start-ups, incl. Sale of the company
  • Leading start-up seminars and workshops at universities & colleges and business development organisations

What are you most excited about in your work as a coach?

In individual counselling sessions and group workshops, I repeatedly find that if there is no one in your family or circle of acquaintances who is self-employed or an entrepreneur, you are often denied the professional or career option of self-employment for a long time because you don’t come into contact with it and don’t question it.

Perhaps it’s due to a lack of role models. Perhaps the school system, which tends to prepare students for a life as an employee.

The fact is: I look forward every day to contributing to the start-up spirit and entrepreneurship in Germany and encouraging even more people to start up and take action.

What should not be missing on your perfect day?

Based on the concept, I will guide you step by step to build your website in WordPress (Divi Builder) or in WIX. In addition, we define important keywords and make other basic on-page SEO settings. Side by side, your unmistakable brand face is created on the web. With a little celebration in the air, it may then be said: “Hello world!”

As a Systemic-Integrative Coach, ECA, we will look for underlying patterns and beliefs that have prevented you professionally or privately, from living the life you have always desired deep inside. Together we will develop personal strategies that will allow you to achieve your goals and reach your true calling.
At the same time, as a psychotherapist (according to the HeilprG), I will help you find a solution-oriented way of dealing with the increasing challenges of the new working world.

Your “signature” as a coach/consultant:

Always keep the whole person in mind, including their values and way of being. With my training experiences, I couple the world of management consulting with those of personal development. I adapt to the different needs of my clients and help them move forward. This can mean we take the time to look at deeper issues and obstacles. This methodology makes it possible to set and achieve durable goals and solutions that would otherwise not last in pure management consultancy.

What do you particularly enjoy about your work as a coach?

When I have made my clients move forward or have found ways out of a crisis. I love working with people and I accompany them on their way to greatness.

Career:

I have been involved in holistic personal growth for over 25 years. As a graphic designer, I worked independently for 18 years with great dedication. My experiences with various people, systems and needs have intensified my understanding of others. In my work as a systemic coach & mediator, my focus is on potentiality development, resilience, inner drive, mindfulness, and social culture in the context of the professional world and personal life.

Your “signature” as a coach:

As we work together, I ask my coachees questions about their personal and professional orientations and competencies. It is also usually about the search for a meaningful occupation. Together we find out what your professional path could be.

I am deeply convinced that the world needs people who listen to their intuition and heart and shape their lives self-determined and powerfully according to their true nature. The world needs people who are connected to their essence, who can develop and live with their very own abilities, and who experience peace within themselves and thus work for themselves and the world.

With different creative methods, visualizations, and mindfulness practices I encourage you to bring hidden treasures into the light. Changes in perspective create new ways of seeing the world and bring about clarity on which path to take. We strengthen self-efficacy to achieve personal and professional goals, improve intuition, and inspire to become your own life’s creator.

What are you most excited about in your work as a coach?

Bringing hidden treasures into the light and strengthening self-efficacy together.
