Coaching can help everyone who wants to take the leap and make a significant change in private or work life. Nowadays all kinds of business professionals use coaching services, such as executives, managers, small business owners, start-up pioneers, entrepreneurs, homemakers, creators or actors. I suggest coaching to everyone who wants to get closer to his or her desired goals and needs support and professional guidance to reach them.

We can use coaching to:

• clarify, identify, focus on the desired goals in order to reach them,
• develop self-awareness: identify your values, discover your potentials and resources, and be conscious of your talents,
• regain motivation and enthusiasm,
• build self-confidence and develop resilience,
• self-discovery and growth,
• find what problem-solving strategy is the best fit for your personality,
• make hard decision and find the courage to take actions,
• become a more effective leader: improve your skills to increase productivity, inspire others and build rapport with clients and co-workers,
• improve self-management, communication, presentation skills,
• overcome the fear of change, failure, risk, and eliminate limiting beliefs,
• help resist conformity to social expectations/alleviate the urge to conform to social expectations,
• time-management,
• restart after a life crisis,
• create a work-life balance.

Needless to say, everything disclosed during the coaching process is completely confidential.

The process starts with a preliminary phone conversation to discuss what the client is looking for, what coaching is and to clarify any questions that the client has about coaching. Usually, the coaching process consists of 6-8 sessions, 60 minutes each. I provide both face-to-face and online coaching services. Each session is tailored according to the client’s goals and needs.

Initial assessment of the client`s position helps us to set a baseline and allow us to measure the progress and identify current and potential obstacles. After this very important first step, we take a look at the available resources, understand the client’s current situation and make an action plan accordingly. We work together on establishing the most important steps to take in order to achieve the desired outcome and create a timeline for the process. This enables the client to identify the foreseeable obstacles and get prepared to overcome them. During the session, the coach guides the client on the journey that will likely be filled with „A-ha!-moments” of gained insights, finding new perspectives, solutions and new opportunities. At this point, the client can see a clear picture of what needs to be done during the process and that all the steps are leading towards the goal. If the action plan needs to be altered during the process, the coach is there to assist the client and help him or her to stay motivated, committed and make sure that everything is on track towards their goal(s). 

As a biomedical researcher, it is very important for me that the methods I use produce visible and measurable results, such as a successful career change, restart after a burn-out or increase productivity. I believe that a trustworthy and professional coach should have an ICF-accredited certification, should continuously improve on a professional and personal level, and last but not least, needs to be genuine and authentic. The authenticity of a qualified coach can provide a new perspective to the clients who then discover solutions they have never thought about before. I am attentively listening to the clients during the sessions and use the best method that suits their personality and goal(s). I work with several different methods, such as personality or psychological tests, homework, worksheet, questionnaire, drawing, picture cards, or Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques. 

Former clients who chose to work with me in the past pointed out my enthusiastic, honest and motivating coaching style. Also, I am able to see the hidden potential in my clients and bring out the best of them with providing constructive feedback that let them grow and give a different perspective.
