The inner path of leadership
Almost 20 years ago, I used the insights gained in my job as an industrial engineer and dedicated myself to opening up my inner potential and living a meaningful life. I have searched and found my vocation, where liveliness, lightness and meaning is the basis for my professional work and is in harmony with my values. I cherish working with human beings, because they are what shape a company and drive its potential.
Your Challenges
The requirements for the development of teams, and the customer orientation for services have become complex. Even when leaders succeed in overcoming crises and emerging business obstacles, long-term resilience is often at stake.
My Services
„The success of an intervention depends on the interior state of the intervener.”
Coaching & Consulting
I advise companies in times of conflict, for example for team building, mergers of companies and improving customer orientation. As a lead facilitator, I am also frequently entrusted with complex, large-scale projects.
Leadership Development
In my intensive work with organizations, I repeatedly face executives with the ambition for more. Better questions, better answers, and a clear vision in life. We pursue this desire together, be it in everyday life or in particular times of crisis.
Leaders by Nature
I have been running my company successfully for many years. Experiencing expeditions and adventures with people from all parts of the world and coaching them in the existential questions of their lives is a big piece and passion of mine.
Your Journey with me
My toolbox is richly filled with methods, possibilities and interventions. Nevertheless, our path remains individual and based on your needs.
The key element of a company? Humans.
All my projects are carefully selected. The willingness to change something about oneself is crucial in order to shape the future. I start with people’s own vision of life – because companies are shaped by human beings. This reveals ways to develop more agency.
„Resistance to change falls when benefits are real.“
I approach our collaboration in iterative steps, navigating via tension. In complex environments (such as social systems) we need an emergent practice, not plans. Tensions are a vital force driving development of humans and organizations.
Establishing conscious milestones.
I don’t believe in projects where only isolated financial or operational objectives matter. I help my clients understand the bigger picture including intended and unintended contributions to shaping the future. Let’s use our full power to co-create a desirable future.
„For me, companies remain one of the substantial drivers of creating real change in the world around us.“
