Personal development

Every person is unique in the way they feel, think and act. Their personality may not always suit a given professional or private situation, but development steps are always needed: Letting go of the old, taking on the new and setting priorities. Often such challenges cannot be mastered alone. A third party perspective, new impulses and methods and emotional support are necessary if one is to move forward.

We are familiar with the paths of personal development and have the empathy, knowledge, and methodological competence to support people in their individual development processes within a professional context.

We take on the following tasks on behalf of our clients:

  • Coaching and counselling in individual, professional change processes
  • Designing and facilitating seminars on specific topics such as self-confidence, self-management, time management, life balance, conflict as an opportunity, dealing with change, career development

"Beyond right and wrong there lies a place. There we meet." (Rumi)

I am fascinated by the various ways in which we perceive and see what is around us and use this as a basis for our convictions, different types of behaviour and concepts; they are a challenge to me in my daily work. When I am dealing with individuals, groups, or organisations I aim to ensure that these differences and the emotions that arise with them flow consciously and actively into problem-solving and further development. In this respect, my experience and knowledge, sense of humour and enthusiasm stand me in good stead.
