Many years of international experience as an executive in HR and Marketing, working in and with top management, have led me to an approach to coaching that is based on the deeply rooted principles of Co-Active Coaching. I firmly believe that everyone has the resources they need and that we grow best when we are both challenged and supported to develop and fulfil them.

My coaching approach is similar to peeling an onion. Layer by layer, I work with my coachees to better utilise their resources and uncover any hidden ones in order to overcome future challenges. This process can sometimes be very uncomfortable, but this is where change and development happen. Much like the onion that adds flavour to our dishes, penetrating these layers adds depth to life and experience. You as the coachee decide if and when you want to move on to the next layer.

Some of the key principles of Co-Active Coaching that I embody in my work are:

1. Holistic view: I do not see my coachees' professional or personal lives as separate, because everything is interconnected. This makes effective and far-reaching changes possible.
2. Co-creation: As a coach, I see myself and my coachee as active partners in the process. I contribute my experience and intuition while keeping the space open so that my coachees can find their own insights and solutions.
3. Focus on the here and now: Instead of concentrating exclusively on future goals, I also use the present moment to recognise current blockages and grow through them together.

I also incorporate aspects of group dynamics into my coaching sessions. We are all part of systems whose reactions we (can) influence through our actions and by which we are influenced. In coaching, we look at how you act in the respective system and how you can organise these interactions more effectively.

Respect, trust, appreciation and empowerment are the core values of my work. It is important to me that my coachees not only react, but also act proactively and according to their strengths.

Innovation and transformation are not only important in business, but also for our own development. Both begin within us, and the necessary foundations are already in place.

Leaders & Managers

Lead yourself, a team and/or an organization

Are you facing challenges in your management work and looking for new ways of dealing with them, e.g. resolving conflicts, managing stakeholders, supporting complex team developments? Do you want or need to reposition or reorient yourself, internally or externally?

HR Business Partner

On the move in highly dynamic, strategic situations

You are constantly working in highly demanding group dynamic environments. You advise managers on strategic and operational issues, while at the same time having to position yourself in challenging management environments and operate in environments characterised by power games. Would you like to utilise your skills even more effectively in this environment?

Personal Development

Accompanying private or professional change

You have received feedback on a blind spot, would like to develop yourself further or are stuck in a challenging work environment in which your previous strategies are not effective enough. Would you like to expand your room for manoeuvre, work on your behavioural repertoire or acquire new skills?
