I gained my leadership experience in line management and project roles, in operational and non-operational functions, in positions with direct and indirect management responsibility. I was responsible both for small, local teams and for large, international teams. I was responsible for small projects to be implemented as part of my role and for an independent transformation project that took several years

Primarily, I apply systemic coaching for the individual, resource-based development of my clients. As a coach, I take a target-oriented and solution-focused approach. To me, resource-based, systemic development is much more sustainable than simply copying other people’s solution approaches without thinking. 

I also work with wingwave® Interventions as part of my systemic coaching.  I have found wingwave® to be very effective in emotion and performance coaching, especially in reducing stress.

What fascinates me about mediation is the possibility of resolving conflicts in a way that optimizes the interests of everyone involved. I support the conflicting parties in gaining an understanding on their own and in reaching an agreement on the basis of this understanding

Each of these roles requires clarity and has its limits. Therefore, I fall back on my experience and use these roles in combination or discretely, depending on my clients’ requests.

After entering the working world in 1999, after having completed my apprenticeship and my studies in business administration, I gained a wide range of experience in leading people, both in organizations and in projects. 

A turning point in my career was when I took responsibility for a multi-year transformation program. Based on my previous experience, I thought that I was good at building teams and getting people excited about something that excited me. Now, it wasn't the case anymore! I had to admit that I couldn’t get any further on my own and needed help. During this time, I received many tips on what others would do in my place – meant to be good and supportive without exception

Do you know the feeling when you get the ultimate solution from several people within a short period of time? But what would you do if these solutions were completely different? Put one after the other to the test? How will your team react to these test setups? And what if these approaches are logically comprehensible but you can’t reconcile yourself with the respective implementation? And why shouldn’t you try something that has proven its worth more intensively and vehemently? After all, it worked before!?

During this time, I learned that, in our deeply interlinked and complex systems, lasting success and satisfaction can only be achieved by understanding individual needs and through the quality of relationships between people. And I learned that while authenticity is important, in the end it is open-mindedness and self-reflection that is necessary for one’s own development.
