I will listen to you carefully and with an open mind. Together we will sort out facts and thoughts, as well as look at your needs and emotions. We will clarify the topics of our conversations and define your goals. I will explain the procedure as we go along. With an individually tailored methodology, a lot of empathy and experience, I will accompany you until you see your path, have all the necessary resources and the courage to go for it.

Expat coaching focuses on the special needs, challenges and opportunities associated with having your professional and private life abroad. Thanks to many years of experience as a Managing Director abroad, I have many of my own insights which I can share with you and thus assist you to consolidate your roots and strengthen your wings.

Life coaching is a series of face to face, professional, solution-oriented conversations that help to get information on important professional and life issues. It’s about looking ahead, recognizing your potential, being able to activate your resources and having the courage to systematically implement the solutions found

Like any coaching, online coaching is an open conversation and exchange on equal footing. You can be in the place of your choice. Tools and methods are adapted to the theme at hand. We always work with the use of a camera (possibly 360 degrees) so that I can not only hear your words but also appreciate your body language. We always have a second communication channel open so nothing and nobody is lost during the online session.

No travel: online coaching is location-independent and enables everyone to be in the most suitable place for them.

Time savings: This results from the fact that there is no need to travel to and from a location.

Security: the coachee is in a familiar place during his/her online coaching. This can be very helpful for getting more deeply involved in the processes. There is a sense of security in being at home on the coach or in the office at one’s desk, and that can enable the coachee to begin straightaway to try out new ideas with family or colleagues. The coachee can also show the coach important things in his environment, thus deepening the rapport between them.

Direct line: by using a headset, words land directly in the head and intensify the effect of what is spoken.

Notes: Each online session can (if desired) be recorded (and transcribed), thus offering even more opportunities to work with your findings.

An online face to face coaching session has just as much value and is as intense as session in a consulting room: EUR 135.- per hour.
And of course we can work online with one another for a whole day as intensively as if we were sitting next to each other.

The big savings with online coaching lies in saved travel time and other associated expenditures (further „advantages of online coaching“). Preparing the coaching session, listening and responding to you is just as labour-intensive and goal-oriented as it would be if you were actually sitting across from me.

If you are stuck, feel overwhelmed or under-challenged, unsatisfied or empty, are looking for or have found your calling and need clarity on how you want to achieve this goal, in short: if you are changing or should change your personal or professional life and want to actively prepare yourself for the new opportunities.

HPC is the result of modeling by particularly successful coaches. In HPC, the coach orients himself to a clear conversation compass and thus steers the coachee over several sessions. The process focuses on the achievement of goals with the necessary resources and options for action. Obstacles in the process, such as negative beliefs or a lack of resources, are noted in order to solve or build them up in due course. The coach collects the coachee’s input and has it later interpreted as a visual solution by the coachee. With this holistic approach, 6 core aspects are processed:
(1) SMART goal setting, including details of what you do, have or want to be.
(2) Possibilities, meaning options for action to achieve the goal are brainstormed
(3) Successes, meaning positive & negative events and the learning experiences gained from them
(4) Motivation, meaning what is possible through the achievement of the goal? And what can it be used for?
(5) Beliefs, meaing a list of beliefs that are supportive, lacking and limiting ones action
(6) Resources – inside & outside, i.e. people, skills, things and information

I am convinced that people already have all the resources they need to make a change (basic assumption of NLP). I therefore make individual offers on tools and methodologies to work on a topic in the best possible way and always give the coachee the choice – also to change the coach. Other models I work with are individual and team coaching, micro-thesis, the Zürcher Ressource Model, High Potential Coaching (HPC) and other mind opening tools.

Coaching is primarily a question of trust. Therefore, choose a coach who is authentic and sympathetic to you and in whom you can confide. There is a whole range of specialisations in coaching that cover a variety of topics. Be sure to ask about the tools and methods a coach uses. I always recommend a holistic, i.e. systemic approach, because one issue rarely comes alone. It is also helpful to ask friends and acquaintances if they have experience with coaches and can give a recommendation. Or simply listen to your gut feeling. Of course, you can also contact one of the coaching umbrella organizations – like ICF – for advice.

There is no entitlement to coaching, but package it as a personality development e.g. high performance coaching and I am sure your HR department will understand. Many companies already focus on the added value for their employees through professional and systemic coaching and offer it proactively. If not, ask, it will be worthwhile for both sides.

Of course you are welcome to get to know me in a first free 30 min conversation. Confidential, free of charge and without obligation. You will have the opportunity to see and hear for yourself if we match. Let’s find out and make an appointment.

Yes, my experience is that we need a few sessions to realize a positive effect and real change. For this I offer a 6-session package (6x 50 min) for 750.-€ (to be taken within 3 months). Alternatively we can work together intensively for one full or two half days (8 hours): Price 1.100€.
I am happy to make offers for long-term accompaniment on request.
