The phrase "people are the same everywhere" can quickly lead to complications when working in or leading international and intercultural teams.

The concerns of the experts that we most often discuss and work on in the coaching sessions are, for example:
Initial meeting
During the free initial meeting we will assess whether we are a good fit and can work together. You should have a coach with whom you feel comfortable and who can support and challenge you. The
conversation lasts about 30 minutes.
Framework conditions
If everything fits, we will tackle it together. After the agreement is signed, we plan the organisational aspects such as form (online, in person), location (on-site at your company, in neutral premises), initial frequency (weekly, 2x per month), etc.
Coaching
At the beginning we talk about your goals and start the coaching process. We regularly glance in the rear-view mirror and check whether the transfer to professional and/or private life is working. This is how we ensure the longevity and sustainability of the change.
Coaching is a process. As a coach, I accompany you through this process so that you can develop your own solutions. Together we analyse your individual challenge and focus on your
goals.
What you need to bring with you, besides your own competence, is the readiness and the will to change.
