Self-development has been a motivation for me as long as I can remember and I realized early in life that self-insight facilitated that development.

​

To form a profession within this interest of mine I chose to study Human Resource Management with a focus on Organizational Psychology. I advanced within Recruitment and Assessment and loved the area of personality assessment, matching personalities with the right job.

​

When I became responsible for my own team, I dived even deeper into the area of leadership, in particular in the area of motivation. I wanted to learn a coaching leadership style but did not really know how to.

​

My high ambitions accelerated my career and at the age of 28 I got the position as Head of Operations and was part of the German management team for a successful Swedish HR consulting company. l loved the challenge and to have to step out of my comfort zone every single day, but it was also… well challenging.

 

As I got to the point where I felt that the pressure and stress started to get too much I was lucky to have a manager that allowed me to engage an external business coach. This was the first time I experienced how incredibly helpful and empowering coaching can be!

​

Then came my two lovely kids and I suddenly had to ask myself what my priorities in life are. I still wanted a challenging and developing job, but I also wanted to have time for my family.

​

I realized that I need to set the right priorities and started to ask myself - what is it that I really really want? What fulfills me in life? This is when I started to search for my "why".

​

The interest in coaching was always present and after visiting seminars, workshops and reading books about coaching I decided to get in contact with a coach to help me find out what my "why" is.

​

With only a few sessions it got crystal clear to me what my "why" is - development. Development of other people, processes, organisations and last but not least, myself.

 

It´s funny how obvious this is for me now looking back at my life and the decisions and experiences that I have made. On the other hand this is what coaching is all about - to unfold the strengths and potentials that are already within you.
