Team Coaching

Teams are complex and very exciting. They form everywhere, in organisations, companies of all sizes, non-profit organisations, in sports, and sometimes only for a specific project. But they are always about people interacting with each other to achieve a common goal. That's why I love teams.

My coaching helps all kinds of teams maintain their performance standards, understand their team dynamics and their behaviour, increase their efficiency, secure their own steering ability and become high performance teams. Especially in crisis and extreme situations.

Personal Coaching

We live in a constant process of change. Changes are ambivalent. While we welcome pleasant ones in our lives, we reject the unpleasant and painful ones, because they often confront us with great challenges with which we have to cope.

To understand these challenges, to develop tools and to learn how to apply them resulting in solutions are key elements of my coaching.

This includes also looking at head, mind and spirit. Not in a psychotherapy way, even if it sounds like that at first. I am rather a companion on a part way of your life, a sparring partner who strengthens your ability to self-regulate and thus the ability to act in the recurring cycles and different facets of your life's reality.

Vita

I was born 1965 into a family of entrepreneurs. That might have set the course for a career but – after a banking apprenticeship and two business degrees (Diplom-Kaufmann/MBA) – I deliberately didn't join the family business. I chose a path in private equity, venture capital, M&A and corporate finance instead, which eventually led me to positions as CEO and interim CRO in national and international companies.

I always had a very strong interest in people's behaviour. I was looking for answers to questions like: What motivates us? Which values guide us and what constitutes perceived happiness and satisfaction? What differences separate us and what similarities connect us? How do I increase my resilience? How do teams work most effectively?

With more and more expertise from studying relevant fields, my interest grew first into a passion and then into a profession: I am a certified systemic management coach and have been working as an active coach for many years. With over 1,500 individual and team coachings and over 30 change projects completed to date.

Business Coaching

My business coaching offers executives and teams support in complex situations, in crises or for corporate development. I accompany you as a competent, experienced and reliable partner.

My experience as an executive in companies for many years and my skills as systemic coach combine the business context with the human skills resulting into an efficient organisational structure, stabilising the essential elements for a company's success and bringing them to operational excellence. The implementation and measurement of concrete goals is a special focus.

My business coaching includes personal and team coaching, leadership training and development, accompanying managing directors and CEOs, managing crises and manoeuvring through difficult phases as well as change management to establish a strong culture within the organisation.

Methodology

Coaching is work. My coaching always goes towards maximum implementation. Changes only comes by action.

This means analysing the issue, understanding and finding the appropriate methods and tools to create an intrinsically motivated basis for change, individually or for a team.

In addition, we develop a concrete implementation road map and define specific characteristics of success in order to measure and control which changes have become effective.

My coaching involves three elements: coaching, consulting and training.
