Business Coaching

Business Coaching for Individuals and Teams

provides partnership-based support for individuals, teams and other bodies who desire competent guidance in order to achieve their professional goals | to foster constructive and efficient cooperation and to make even better use of their diverse assets. According to the EMCC and the International Coaching Federation, coaching is a process that uses thought-provoking questions and creative exploration to help clients to find their own and sustainable responses and solutions.

As coaches we listen to the clients in a nonjudgmental and present way. We help clients to understand themselves more deeply, to evoke awareness and to support learning. We ask the kinds of questions that open perspectives, enable insights and reconnect with the core of what is important to the client. These questions often go to the heart of the challenge and might seem unusual or even unsettling at first. They are questions many do not dare to ask, especially in the context of hierarchy and leadership. My work follows the ICF core competences and ethical guidelines, among others strengths like humor, trust and compassion.

Executive Coaching

Offers partnership-based, professional assistance to executives who want to sharpen their goals | pursue constructive and efficient collaboration and/or also to make even better use of the diversity of their resources within the organisational or societal context. 

Climate Coaching

helps individuals, executives, politicians, boards, universities, and other organisation to develop and to implement climate friendly strategies. It is aimed at everyone who wants to become part of the solution and to implement a “blue ecology“, at people of every age and background.

The liquid modernity or the modern era, the world transformed by the economy, globalism, and the metacrisis of the 21st century confront us with many conflicts, and shortages. Those need to be understood and addressed systematically. The climate crisis stands out as one of the most urgent. Addressing it within others requires us to change our attitude towards nature, but also a lot of strength and clarity to at least slow down this crisis. Businesses and organisations can play a crucial role: through their flexibility and progressiveness, they can drive impactful change.

To support the success of this contribution, it is worthwhile to consider the status quo, the opportunities and the constraints with a critical climate coach, so that the change is motivated by an awareness of the challenge (and factors such as the expectations of younger generations of workers or government restrictions only a so-called hygiene factor). Such cooperation with a supportive partner in the sense of individual, long-term and truly sustainable strategies to become truly “green” both internally and externally is included in this coaching offer. This offer is aimed at companies and organisations that are striving for truly sustainable change and have recognised the need for it.

Conflict Coaching

Coaching can also be applied to conflict management. This refers both to situations in which the person concerned is involved in a conflict and wishes individual clarification assistance before the other parties involved are approached. There may also be situations in which it becomes clear that the other persons involved are initially not interested in conflict resolution and it is advisable to reflect on one’s own attitude and approach to the conflict in order to become capable of acting again.
It is also valuable when recurring conflict patterns suggest the need to rethink one’s own expectations, behaviours, or assumptions. Everyone experiences conflict; some are simply better equipped to handle it. Conflict coaching helps build these capabilities and enables individuals to regain agency and act with clarity.

Scientists Coaching  

Whether during professorship, habilitation, or doctoral studies, scientists face distinct challenges: hierarchical dependencies, methodological ambiguity, cultural, i.e. gender- or national-specific expectations and biases, and the daily pressure of academic life. Coaching provides a space to clarify the own position, goals, to strengthen self-leadership and leadership of others, and navigate complex environments more confidently.

Why Coaching Helps

It is true that every person is an expert on his or her own life. Everyone can enjoy a healthy and gratifying professional and private life with a good self-knowledge. At the same time, people increasingly find themselves in situations where this expertise requires a clear focus and the client wants assistance in identifying (not yet utilised) resources and in removing obstacles. This holds true especially as we live and work in the time of an almost permanent balancing and prioritisation of diverse wishes, possibilities and necessities, in which an adept, goal-oriented and above all emphatic assistance can facilitate the achievement of the above-mentioned goals and also determine the way to achieving them. In my experience, this includes situations in which the clients.

Clients often seek coaching when they:

• want to advance their careers in alignment with their values
• need orientation regarding goals and purpose
• face strong performance pressure and want a confidential setting to explore healthier strategies
• work in intercultural environments and want to reflect on their leadership style
• want support through change processes, leadership growth, or mental-health-related challenges
• experience conflicts at work that consume energy or lead to frustration, resignation, or others.
