Make a difference!

Interconnectedness, complexity and permanent dynamics are the predominant pattern of today's world. The problems can no longer be solved by pure analytics, dealing with Uncertainty and indeterminacy requires more than linear approaches.

(Inter)play and design instead of machine, automatisms and common concepts, more than ever what is required is what makes people human.

And that's the beauty, the decisiveness, a choice you can make!

systemic Coaching

Clarify ambitions, create coherence, see and understand (your own) patterns, take a self-determined approach with more clarity

Subject area "Coaching of teams"

Team dynamics are highly complex. Just one look at agile approaches such as Scrum makes it clear that the meta-level is needed for development and learning. The retrospective, the reflection on the process of collaboration, the how and not the what, is nothing else.

In an organisational context, this involves communication, decision-making, responsibility, patterns and processes, dilemmas and dealing with uncertainty and complexity. It is also important to consider how and in which processes, structures and cultural environment a team is embedded in the organisation.

Depending on the problem, the aim of the coaching is to make the respective aspects transparent and workable, to provide the team with models, perspectives and possible approaches so that they can learn accordingly and develop as a team. This always includes the personal development process of those involved.

Subject area ‘Development of a holistic target image - my future’

You want to clarify, weigh up, prioritise and evaluate your ambitions, become clear about how you want to live and work in the future, shape your (professional) future or your transition to the post-professional future in a self-determined way.

The aim of the coaching is for you to develop a coherent and realistic picture of your future and to realise which measures and personal development steps you should take to achieve this. The structural framework I use for this is the Persönliche Wegekompass® systemic consultancy Andy Duke.

Subject area ‘Systemic 1:1 coaching’

You keep experiencing situations that are difficult for you, or have no explanation for dynamics that keep ‘happening’ to you, and you want a change here.

It is often patterns and schemata, assumptions and judgements that need to be clarified and worked on. And sometimes the consequence can also be to free oneself from certain professional or personal constellations.

The aim of coaching is to facilitate these clarifications, as well as to build up skills and activate personal resources in order to experience certain situations less stressfully in the future, or to prevent them from occurring in the first place by acting differently.

my Guiding Principles

Each organisation, each team has its own specific context and complexity - the framework and space for consideration may be similar, the content cannot be reproduced

In tensions and paradoxes there is power and creativity, to move between the poles situationally, to understand them as enriching and to make them usable is, in my opinion, worthwhile

Often the path is the goal, because that is exactly what leads to the goal. For me, the compass is to always keep an eye on the whole and the why.

In my opinion, the use of digital state-of-the-art tools should be a matter of course. For many tasks, it forms the basis for leaving efficiency behind and concentrating on impact and added value. Even more, in my experience, it opens up new spaces for communication, collaboration and co-creation
