About me
As a team coach, I work with people and organizations that find themselves in complex situations. Where there are no simple answers and traditional solutions no longer work. My approach is deliberately light, clearly structured and approachable. Because complexity needs a good framework in order to become manageable.
I don’t believe in one perfect solution. Particularly in complex issues, sustainable results are achieved step by step – through different perspectives, trial and error and joint learning. This is exactly where I come in. In workshops and development processes, I create spaces in which people share their knowledge, take responsibility and make decisions together.
In team coaching, I often work with methods such as LEGO® Serious Play® and Liberating Structures. They make collaboration a tangible experience for everyone, ensure balanced and co-designed participation and create psychological safety. The methods can be used flexibly – in small teams as well as in larger groups or management circles. Above all, however, they help to ensure that collaboration does not remain abstract, but becomes concrete, visible and effective.
My systemic coaching approach also focuses on what is there in team coaching: strengths, skills, experience and potential. We work with clear goals, realistic steps and a structured framework. Instead of looking for culprits, we reflect on situations. Instead of avoiding friction, we use it constructively.
Communication is my central theme here. It creates understanding, orientation and sustainable decisions. From over 20 years of experience as an international project manager, executive and coach/team coach, I know how crucial open communication at eye level is. That’s why I design workspaces in which collaboration is efficient, respectful and sustainable.

“The practical approach was particularly valuable – through concrete case studies, reflection exercises and honest feedback, I was not only able to strengthen my self-confidence, but also to define my leadership behavior more clearly.
