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!

Coaching

Hold, build up or expand energy and momentum for one's own development process

You want to clarify your ambitions, get a deeper understanding, recognise patterns and connections, weigh, prioritise and evaluate, shape your (professional) future in a self-determined way or change something significant, and become clear about what you can do to achieve this.

I conduct coaching primarily in the existential philosophical understanding of the Existential Analysis Psychotherapy and Counselling according to Alfried Längle. This understanding is also found in the more professional development oriented and licensed framework of the Wegekmopass® of the systemic consulting Andy Duke, which I prefer to use in the professional context.

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
