Coaching

Reasons people reach out for coaching:

• I need support leading my international team.

• A career transition is proving more challenging than I expected - a new role, a new context or a new country altogether.

• Someone at work is making my life difficult at the moment.

• I spend all my time managing and hardly any time leading.

• I don't fully agree with a decision from senior leadership, but I'm the one who has to explain and represent it to my team.

• I can't seem to switch off anymore - not even in the evenings or at weekends.

How I Work

My coaching draws on psychologically grounded models, a deep understanding of interpersonal dynamics and, very often, the Inner Team model by Prof. Friedemann Schulz von Thun. It is also shaped by many years of supporting leaders, international teams and organisations through complex communication and change processes - and, not least, by my own experience as a global professional.

Clients often gain:

• A better understanding of difficult dynamics, conflicts and their own role within them.

• Greater clarity in situations where every option comes with trade-offs and decisions have far-reaching consequences.

• More confidence in leading difficult conversations, communicating their position clearly and finding sustainable solutions.

• A more nuanced understanding of people, organisations and interpersonal dynamics.

• Practical tools for self-leadership, resilience and dealing with pressure and stress.

• Solid preparation for important career steps - new leadership roles, assessment centres or professional transitions.

Sometimes coaching takes the form of methodological sparring - supporting clients in designing their own workshops, facilitating meetings, preparing presentations or developing team learning formats.
