Coaching You on Your Path

I am continuously fascinated by humans, as we aspire to goals, we fail, we stand up again, we learn... . Contact me to support you on your path as a supportive sparring partner, a mirror to see yourself and an inquirer to challenge you to grow.

 

Coaching can focus on professional development, team & leadership issues or personal development. In any case, I will coach you to sense into what is going on for you and what potential there is for you.

my approach to coaching

"People are naturally creative, resourceful and whole." - this is one of the key principles of Co-Active Coaching. 

 

While this may seem obvious, it is in fact a powerful and important foundation of coaching - also clearly distinguishing it from therapy or counselling. I am not here to 'fix someone' or 'solve your problem'. I am here to listen deeply, to hold the space with you, to explore an issue from many different perspectives.


YOU are the expert on the issue.... and any advancement or solution must come from within you in order to be true and actionable for you. My role is to be the 'process expert'. To offer my experience and whole Self to host you in exploring what is important to you.

My Coaching training & Code of Ethics

Co-active Coach - I feel lucky to have been trained in the Co-Active approach which combines Being & Doing, the deeper levels of listening and being present in the moment, challenging ourselves so we can support others. Combined with modules on "Fulfillment", "Balance," "Strategy" and "Synergy", Coaching Agility follows the principle of "dance in the moment", meaning: be fully present and focus on the Whole Person.

 

The Co-Active Professional Coach Training is widely recognized as a rigourous professional coach training and certification program in the industry, has trained many coaches including employees in more than a third of the Fortune 100 companies. The training is recognised by the Harvard Medical School and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

 

Systemic Coaching and Constellations training has equipped me with deep insights into systemic dynamics and how to support clients in exploring their role and position in their system(s). Your current system, and where and how you want to be. Systemic mapping is a great tool that can be applied in-person, with figures and other materials or online! Systemic Coaching and Constellations Training hours are also recognised as ICF ‘Continuous Coaching Education Units'.

 

I am committed to the ICF's Code of Ethics, covering important aspects such as

  • transparency about roles (Coach, Client, Sponsor...) and agreements,
  • nature, potential and limits of coaching (distinction to therapy etc.)
  • strict confidentiality and data protection
  • sensitivity to power imbalances and cultural aspects
  • responsibility to professionalism and high quality coaching.

How do we go about it?

Following our initial contact, in which we get a general sense about the intention and format desired, we organise an unpaid starter session, either via phone, online or in person - I can come to your office / home if it is in the vicinity of Bonn / Cologne or in comfortable, relaxed, undisturbed coaching space I can provide.

After the starting session, we - and especially you - decide whether you would like to go ahead with the coaching.
