Profile

Offering change of perspective.

Empowering people to fulfill their potential – that is what motivates me. In my approach, I am respectful, pragmatic, and sure of my methods. I bring levity to difficult subjects and lead clients safely through precarious terrain to a clear view of their own possibilities. This involves elements that are attuned to every client’s unique path toward finding new momentum and a fresh viewpoint, while preserving what already works. There will be goose bumps, emotional and even ‘Eureka!’ moments; because our human ability to change is among our most thrilling traits.

Personality development doesn’t happen overnight – it is a lifelong process. Everyone goes through difficult phases and must face hurdles in daily life. Every day, I strive with my own family, which includes my husband, three wonderful children, to maintain a delicate balance between daily realities of two working parents, household, commitments, heartache, and homework; while still nurturing the necessities of strength and security. Learning how to negotiate roles, stereotypes, and expectations is what it takes to shape the world of tomorrow.

Qualifications

Expertise + Passion.

To sum up my approach toward each project, I’ll quote Charles Dickens who once said: “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
It’s true: it all starts with a good vibe. That said, I have honed my craft extensively. My organizational consulting, team development, and coaching know-how rest upon the solid foundation of a degree in Psychology, seven years combined industry experience as personnel development manager at two international corporations, countless inspiring advanced training courses, as well as many years of intercultural life and work experience in the US and Singapore. My working languages are German and English.

References

Substantial work.

Being with a client for a long time is not necessarily a good reference as a psychological consultant and facilitator. Sometimes one-off interventions are the best, because something has obviously been set into motion and the system can continue on its own with that nudge from outside. However, there are also assignments with complex requirements that cannot be solved in one day (especially if entire departments or even several structures and interactions call for transformation). As a trainer in companies, I often accompany managers at various levels on their learning journey over a number of years – with a deeper understanding and trained view of the respective corporate culture and organization.

In most cases, my clients find me through recommendations. My clients range from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations, non-profit organizations, government agencies and private companies.

Teamwork

Lisa and me.

How lucky am I that Lisa Völker (M.Sc. Psychology) is enriching, challenging and supporting my work as a permanent employee since 2023. Being a young psychologist, she brings a high level of professional expertise and a fresh view to our assignments. We enjoy co-facilitating our workshops. In addition to psychology, we share the love for detail in the design of workshop material.

Partners

Well-connected.

My partners are my network of hearts. I have many ties to them – both professionally and privately. As colleagues, I have known and valued them for many years in very different contexts. We inspire each other, learn together and support each other in terms of preparation. In most projects we work and facilitate in tandems. We share common values, are strong conceptually and are very focused. Above all, however, we share a great deal of trust and happiness! Each of my colleagues is a successful entrepreneur with an individual presence:
