Efficiency and empathy are characteristics for my way of work regarding my

approach in both personal and professional coaching sessions.

After having finished my studies at the University of Kassel (English and German studies and psychology) and right afterwards Masters of Arts studies in communication science at the University of Alabama I held different positions in the public relations departments of DaimlerChrylser.

Ever since 2007, I’ve been working as a self-employed consultant, interim manager and coach. I have worked with employees and managers of international firms as well as private individuals facing changes.
