Navigating Change

We work with individuals, teams, and organisations
in change and transformation processes.

Die Kraft Deiner Antworten liegt in der Formulierung der richtigen Fragen. 

Es gibt eine Konstante in unserem Leben: Veränderung. Ob im Privaten oder im Beruf, ob als Mitarbeiter, als Führungskraft, Executive oder Non-Executive, ob als Team oder als ganze Organisation: Jeden Tag stoßen wir auf Unerwartetes und Unbekanntes. Unser Umfeld verändert sich kontinuierlich. 

Wir wissen: Auch wir müssen uns verändern. Doch unsere über Jahre und Jahrzehnte geübten Verhaltens-, Kommunikations- und Sichtweisen und unser Unterbewußtsein leisten unmerklich aber hoch wirkungsvoll Widerstand. Sie halten uns davon ab, uns auf neues Terrain zu begeben, uns auf die vielfältigen neuen Möglichkeiten einzulassen, die sich eröffnen. Oft versuchen wir, mit technischen Lösungen auf adaptive Herausforderungen zu reagieren. Wir sehen die Notwendigkeit von Veränderung, oft wollen wir sie sogar ausdrücklich – und trotzdem gelingt Veränderung nicht. 

Wo treffen Sie aktuell auf Hindernisse, bei deren Überwindung Sie Unterstützung suchen? Sie wünschen sich einen Navigator, der gemeinsam mit Ihnen Ihren inneren Kompass aktiviert, damit Sie den in Ihrer Situation richtigen Weg finden? [KONTAKT]. dddd

Integral Coaching

„I don’t coach the problem. I coach the person.“

Integral Development Coaching goes beyond traditional business coaching, which focuses primarily on achieving specific short-term goals. Integral Development Coaching aims to support coachees in their continuous development towards sustainable, i.e. lastingly effective change. 

The starting point in working with my coaching clients are typical issues that manifest themselves individually in the various areas of the client’s life. These can be, for example, leadership challenges, career and relationship issues. A new professional role may require new behaviours, or crisis and conflict situations may be perceived as unbearably stressful. Using a holistic approach, I support my coachees in exploring, understanding and dealing with the underlying aspects of these issues.

Every coachee is naturally rich in resources and creative and has very special individual skills. I accompany and guide the coachees in a process in which they uncover and work on the experiences and patterns that hold them back, restrict and hinder their behaviour and development. 

Change is achieved less through the teaching of specific „tools“ or methods, but primarily through the relationship between coach and coachee.

Team & Board Development

„Change is (hard) work.“

Team development
In teams, too, situations regularly arise that can lead to a malfunction in collaboration. The team’s core tasks get out of focus. This results in reduced effectiveness and efficiency as well as dissatisfaction and demotivation among team members. Perceptions between team members often remain subconscious or are not articulated at all or only too late in order to avoid conflict.

In team development coaching, I first observe the psychodynamic processes within the team. I then support the team members in clearly articulating their needs and perceptions and thus recognising potential conflicts at an early stage and using them positively both for their own and for their joint development in the spirit of their common task. New thinking is stimulated, fears and conflicts are dealt with, new opportunities are recognised and commitment and motivation are encouraged.

Board Development
What applies to „normal“ teams applies in particular to executive and non-executive boards. The nature and perception of cooperation within the board, both internally and externally, has a profound effect on the entire organisation they lead. They have a significant influence on the organisation’s ability to deal with change and transformation, its efficiency, its effectiveness and its capacity for innovation.

The interaction of long-standing experienced leaders on executive and non-executive boards is often characterised by very different „socialisations“ of their members. I support boards and their members in recognising and understanding each other’s personal behaviours and emotions, overcoming individual protective mechanisms against change and making their optimum contribution to the success of the board in their respective roles.

Communications Shadowing
and Interim Management

„My support is most effective to you
when I make myself dispensable as quickly as possible.“

Sometimes it is helpful to be able to utilise the independent perspective of an experienced communicator who is working in the background in special and crisis situations. This does not involve any long-term financial commitment. My services are aimed in particular at those responsible for communications in companies, managing directors and executive board members as well as supervisory and advisory board members.

Communications Shadowing
As an experienced and independent sparring partner, I can support you on demand behind the scenes in your communications work. Typical assignments include
– sparring partner in the development of communication strategies and the development of corporate and personal messages;
– discussing the opportunities and risks of planned communication activities, coordinating tasks with the Executive Board, etc.;
– providing guidance in the preparation of AGM and other speeches, IR presentations, press releases, briefing papers for politicians, etc,
– support in preparing for physical, video and telephone conferences with investors and media interviews;
– or the external facilitation of larger internal events hosted by the Executive Board.

Interim management
You have a temporarily vacant leadership position in the communications department of your company in a critical change situation. Or you would like to support your in-house communications executive with additional expertise for a temporary crisis period or deliberately keep them off the fire. Then I can provide you with effective support as an interim manager. You will benefit from my more than 25 years of management and executive experience in the field of corporate communications in global companies ranging from private equity to large listed companies.
