I’m here for leaders who want to do it differently.
I work at the intersection of coaching and organizational development to help leaders build humane, high-performing organizations where people can do their best inner and outer work.
I care about this because I’ve seen what happens when leadership runs on fear, status games, and constant urgency. People get quieter. Teams get brittle. The work suffers. And leaders start leading in ways that don’t feel like them.
I’m interested in a different standard: leadership that’s kind and candid, grounded and accountable. The kind that sees people, develops them, and still delivers.
Experience
Before I worked independently, I spent seventeen years inside organizations. Nine as an economist in German employer policy. Five as an organizational development consultant. Three leading leadership development at Scout24, from new team leads to the board.
That background shapes how I work. I’ve been inside the systems my clients are navigating. I know where there’s real room to move, where the risk is, and when something that looks like a leadership problem is actually structural.
I work in German and English, in person in Berlin and remotely.
How I work
The frameworks I draw on share a common pattern: they help people grow their capacity to meet reality as it is. To notice what’s happening in the body and nervous system, tell the truth without drama, take responsibility for their part, and choose action that fits the person and the system.
That’s the work I do with leaders: building steadiness under pressure and translating insight into concrete behavior — how you communicate, where you draw a line, what you ask for, what you stop carrying alone.
Zen and Buddhist practice is a central thread in my work. It shapes how I show up: present, direct, and willing to stay with what’s uncomfortable long enough for something honest to emerge.
No performance. Just clear seeing, clean action, and a steadier way of leading.
