As a coach...

... I support individuals and teams in their developmental and change processes.

 

 My Attidute

Strong relationships form the basis of any collaboration—and create the space in which development and learning become possible. I support individuals, teams, leaders, and couples in developing the relationship and leadership skills necessary to achieve this. I work...

dialogically and relational

I get people moving – in their thinking and in their interactions. This includes critically questioning thought patterns, power structures, and privileges. This is often challenging and sometimes unsettling – but crucial for sustainable change.

experience-oriented

The experiences of the participants are the most important learning content. I help to make these visible and deepen them through reflection. In this way, learners become competent actors instead of being intimidated by expert knowledge.

value-based

I am driven by a commitment to fairness and justice – globally, socially, and in terms of gender. For me, peace work starts small: in teams, organizations, and also in my personal environment.

 

My Course of Education

After my studies at the Institute for Comparative Education at the University of Innsbruck, I researched the development of intercultural competence in my dissertation.

My coaching training at the Advantara Global Executive Coach Training Institute in the UK and my specialization in team coaching refined my professional skills in facilitating (group) processes and applying participatory methods. 

My additional training as a group dynamics specialist (ÖAGG) and as an Imago Professional Facilitator (IPF) has shaped my professional attitude and helped me grow personally. I feel closely connected to the “Art of Hosting community and the associated mindset of “hosting” and co-creation.

I lived in various African countries (Uganda, Eritrea, Burkina Faso, and Niger) for a total of ten years. There, I researched the development of intercultural skills and worked in teacher training and later as a coach.
