In a rapidly and fundamentally changing world, leaders are facing critical pain points, especially in the current uncertain times when economies and businesses are affected by economic volatility, geopolitical tensions and fundamental changes in lifestyles and attitudes to work as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and organizations are struggling more than ever with personnel, procedural and structural changes.

Power & Mental Health for Leaders

In order to survive, continuous productive development of the organization and its employees is essential. And it's about more than just tools and techniques - it's about heart and mind. Individually tailored solutions that combine the perfect balance of useful tools and an employee mindset that is willing to change. The human factor must be placed at the center of change.


Success in change management is measured by emotional involvement, not mere rational persuasion. Only if people are behind the change will the transformation succeed in the long term.

EFFICIENCY RELOADED & INCREASING SPEED

The goal is to develop a robust and purpose-driven corporate culture to enable adaptive organizational dynamics. An important basis for igniting passion that leads to increased clarity and focus, boosts motivation and commitment, improves decision-making, deepens the sense of belonging and makes each individual clearly aware of their role and contribution, which leads to lasting competitiveness for companies.

Change & Crises Management Cases

In today's uncertain business environment, the disconnect between existing operating models and market realities is becoming increasingly apparent. Companies are facing profitability challenges that have become more pressing over the past three years, narrowing the margin for tolerance and error. Efficiency measures are therefore increasingly coming into focus.


Although it is widely perceived that organizations are not reaching their full potential despite high levels of resources, few have successfully overcome the challenges. Effective transformation is crucial and involves both overhauling the fundamentals of how things work and taking a leap forward, particularly in putting decision-making freedoms back into the hands of employees. It is critical for leaders to work towards simplifying organizational structures to increase productivity and effectiveness.


This includes reducing complexity, sharpening roles, their flexibility and responsibilities, and promoting efficient decision-making to create an agile and decisive organization. My expertise leverages the best approaches of traditional and modern organizational forms (holocracy) and adapts them individually to companies in order to develop a tailor-made strategy for sustainable success.


As a navigator in learning, changing and growing, I support transformations to an agile, resilient organization, characterized by efficient work processes, the introduction of new methods and AI solutions. Together, we cultivate a corporate culture based on a strong purpose to attract customers and top talent alike and secure long-term competitive advantages.


Let's work together to ensure that your corporate culture enables adaptive organizational dynamics.

LEADERSHIP CARE - Explore new Horizons

For managers, a balance between professional performance and personal health is crucial and an organization is only as resilient as its employees. It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to promote wellbeing, connectedness and authenticity in the workplace. Leaders must take the lead in this regard. They must have the courage and humility to embrace a permanent "explore new horizons" mindset. It starts with leaders being aware of their own strengths, weaknesses and values, especially under stress, and developing strategies to overcome their fears and limitations.With this self-awareness, leaders are better equipped to harness their passions, renew their energy and help others reach their full potential and that of their organizations.


My accompanying self-care support through situational use of counseling, where mentoring and especially coaching for personal and professional growth is of great importance. My support aims to help leaders or teams identify their true passions, motivations and goals and align these with their professional or corporate aspirations. I help to increase inner motivation, improve job satisfaction and create a deeper connection to one's actions and decisions.it is about finding and walking a meaningful path, both in a personal and professional context.inspiration and reflection are crucial pillars of success. I also ensure this through inspiring 'time-outs' to promote new ideas and resilience. Let's overcome obstacles together, explore new horizons, climb peaks and focus on what really matters: Your success and your personal well-being.

nterim Management und Succession Support 

The stability of the management team is of crucial importance. When management positions are vacant, every minute counts. The immediate consequence is a management vacuum. Managers play a central role in setting goals, motivating the team and managing day-to-day operations. Without a clear leader, decision-making processes can stall, the team's direction and priorities can become unclear, and productivity can drop.


Operational continuity can be affected, especially if the outgoing leader has led key projects or critical business processes. Their absence can lead to delays, miscommunication and even the loss of important institutional knowledge. Executives play a crucial role in shaping a company's culture and values. Their departure can change the corporate culture and, depending on the circumstances of their resignation, contribute to uncertainty or demotivation. Other managers or team members often have to step in to fill the gap. This can lead to overwork and divert attention away from their actual tasks, increasing the risk of burnout and loss of productivity. The search for a suitable successor is usually very time-consuming and costly, and as an experienced manager, I offer the opportunity to ensure seamless leadership transitions in companies.


During the search for new leaders, I effectively guide critical business units and their teams to minimize risk, stabilize teams and ensure the continuity of their important projects. Despite the challenges, the vacancy also provides an opportunity for reassessment and possible realignment of the department concerned. My support can bring fresh perspectives, energy and ideas that contribute to transformation and improvement. I analyze, implement preparatory structures and initiate decisive measures that enable a smooth integration of the new manager and thus ensure a seamless transition.


I also actively assist with candidate selection and smooth onboarding support for the first 100 days to ensure an efficient transition. With the experience and perspective of a CEO, I know what is important in these key process steps, allowing business leaders to focus on their core tasks while I ensure the stability and efficiency of the leadership team. A quick, effective analysis of existing structures, followed by targeted measures, can be crucial to ensure the company's success. Let's work together to ensure that leadership transitions guarantee stability and continuity, reduce uncertainty and promote positive dynamics during the change process.
