As a certified IT architect at IBM Germany, I’ve spent many years advising clients in the software space — on AI solutions, system integration, and process automation. And in every project, it starts the same way: I listen. I ask questions. I work to understand what’s really going on before I even think about solutions. That open-ended, human-first approach isn’t just how I do IT consulting — it’s who I am. And it’s exactly what led me to coaching, mediation, and eventually to WOL.

The foundation of everything I do is a mediative stance — a genuine respect for people and the resources they already carry within themselves. In my coaching work, I support people in seeing their own paths, navigating change, and drawing on their own strengths and resources. It’s not about going higher, faster, further. It’s about the quiet confidence of knowing: I get to walk this path my own way.

My training topics reflect this same spirit: I work with leaders on their leadership journey, support people in building resilience and preventing burnout, and help individuals and teams navigate and embrace change. When it comes to methods, I love tools that spark intrinsic motivation — approaches like Lego© Serious Play©, Liberating Structures, and gaming methods that invite people to engage with their whole selves, not just their heads.

What draws me most is working with people in transition — professionally or personally. New roles, shifting priorities, organisational change — these are the moments where connection, reflection and a supportive community make all the difference. That’s exactly why expanding my work with WOL Circles feels like a natural next step: diverse groups of people — different generations, different professions, different life chapters — sitting together, where perspectives collide in the best possible way, and where real growth happens for everyone in the room.

I’ve been through a WOL Circle myself, and I know what it feels like when something quietly shifts — when you start showing up differently, connecting more intentionally, and moving toward what actually matters to you. If you’re curious about working together, I offer online individual coaching, mediation, and workshops — and WOL Circles are coming soon. I’d love to walk that path with you.
