Coaching
Thanks to coaching you can get more clarity what is really important to you in this season of your life, identify your strengths, and discover sources of energy so that you can flourish and live up to your fullest potential. You also can focus on setting priorities and finding a new path by identifying your own ikigai so that you can thrive. Last but not least, the coaching process can support you in learning how to better cope with stress and make decisions that you are satisfied with.
I have supported many global leaders and female professionals to focus on their strengths and talents so that they can lead across differences and thrive in their professional and private lives. Additionally, I focus on stress management methods and coping strategies with intercultural challenges.
As a coach I bring vast experience in global coaching (leadership of multicultural teams, departments, and international organizations) and women empowerment, enriched by the insights from positive psychology and narrative coaching.
