About me

Since my childhood, I have been fascinated by the question of what constitutes a fulfilled life and how harmonious coexistence can be achieved. For me, the essence of the systemic approach is that “everything is connected to everything else” and that every situation should be viewed in its entirety. Through my studies in business and social pedagogy as well as an in-depth doctorate, I had the opportunity to turn this interest into my profession and further deepen my understanding of these fascinating interrelationships. I have worked in educational institutions and companies in leading and creative roles and use this wealth of experience and my knowledge for my clients with great passion. For many years, I have accompanied specialists and managers from a wide range of industries on their path to greater satisfaction.

Our lives, our decisions and our actions are shaped by the relationships, roles and systems in which we operate. I see it as my task to support you in recognizing these relationships, developing new perspectives and finding the right solutions for you.

Particularly important for me:

• Individual solutions in human interaction: Every person and every leadership situation is unique. Your needs, goals and challenges guide the coaching and training sessions. You will clearly recognize your strengths and resources. Tailor-made ideas and solutions support you in achieving lasting satisfaction in harmony with your environment.
• Practical orientation: I will help you to reflect and keep your eye on the essentials. My focus is on ensuring that you can apply the methods and techniques you learn directly in your day-to-day work – whether in difficult conversations, during presentations or when dealing with your team.
• Empathy and trust: Trusting and appreciative collaboration are the cornerstones of my work. You can talk openly about your challenges, feel safe and understood and thus develop further.
• Creativity: It opens up new perspectives and encourages reflection. Change comes about when we question entrenched thought patterns and explore new paths. I look forward to thinking outside the box together, being amazed and discovering new paths. Experience how inspiring it can be to leave well-trodden paths and open yourself up to new possibilities.
