After some twenty years in senior management positions and since 2014 as a consultant for executives, I know the professional and personal challenges associated with key positions. I know the
expectations to meet extremely ambitious goals, to permanently deliver even better results and to find convincing solutions for increasingly time-critical problems. I also know that everyday life
is often characterized by contradictory demands, permanent change, and diverse and unavoidable role conflicts and often also tactical and strategic status games and conflict dynamics,
which becomes more pronounced the further one has advanced in the hierarchy. - And how important for all this is a reflected and clear and effective and stable positioning.
ADVISORY EXPERIENCE: Management Advisor and Business Coach since 2014
- certified "Systemic Coach" (recognized by DBVC/EASC)
- certified "Transaction Analytic Advisor" and Member of DGTA/EATA o Certified consultant "Reflector Big Five Personality"
- lectureship, Leuphana University at Lüneburg, since 2016
LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE: Longterm experience in upper management positions
- working and living abroad (Scandinavia / Copenhagen and USA / New York) as Regional Head and with internationally distributed teams and intercultural topics
- responsibility for various corporate functions as Global Head (controlling, finance, branch management, restructuring)
- leadership positions within large scale projects (mission statement, strategy, management, reorganization, merger, spin-off)
Concrete and sustainable focus
-
The focus is both on what you need concretely and immediately to cope with your current situation, and on what will bring you the greatest benefit in the long
term. You can then approach current as well as future problem situations from a clarified and strengthened position.
-
Often it is not just about changes in behavior, but the constructive questioning and clarification of what underlies your concerns. Reflecting on "blind
spots" and changing unhelpful patterns, whether cognitive, emotional or in action, enables changes and solutions that don't require more effort, but make things easier for you in the long
term.
-
I know "proven" standard approaches and observe current trends - but you won't get universally valid ones from me and I don't blindly follow the latest
management fads. With a focus on customer benefit, I closely follow current developments in business and society and in the consulting market and continue to professionalize myself for your
consulting needs. Also important to me is a consulting practice that is continuously reflected and enriched with impulses and feedback.
Situationally optimal use of coaching, consulting and sparring
-
As a coach, I support you in further developing what makes you special and successful. At the same time, I support you in discovering your so
far unused resources, in further developing your competencies and thus in expanding the scope of action for yourself and your company.
-
If either the concrete management of acute, critical issues is urgent or strategic or organizational questions are at hand, as a consultant I will also
provide you with content-related impulses in the development of ideas and solution concepts.
-
And when it comes to implementation, I also support you as a sparring partner in preparing and practicing concrete situations.
Effective implementation in conflicts and power dynamics
-
For a successful change I consider a good preparation for reactions of your organizational environment essential.
-
I guide you in preparing your communication and behavior to effective and responsible strategies for expected dynamics.
-
If resistance to change and conflicts between roles and organizational units are expected to trigger substantial destructive dynamics, I advise you on whether
and which further steps involving stakeholders, such as team coaching and conflict moderation, are appropriate.
