I help you to get out of your comfort zone, learn new skills, and cultivate your strengths.
lifelong
learning
My training is tailor-made and focuses on immersive learning experiences.
From digital 1:1s to on-site training for entire teams – together we find the right solution.
I cover a diverse range of topics from leadership, communication, and conflict management, team dynamics, time- and self-management, storytelling, to public speaking and presenting.
To get the most out of a single session or a series of trainings for you and your team, good planning is of the utmost importance. Focusing on a selection of specific topics and working intensively with the participants always results in the best experience for everyone.
I use scientific research, practical methods, insights from decades of experience in the communication industry, and interactive experiments to create the most immersive and successful training for all participants.
My training focus
Redefining Leadership
Learn how to become a successful leader. Discover your own motivation and strengths, learn how to build positive relationships at work, and become a reliable, open, competent, and compassionate leader whom others trust.
-
This training focuses on exploring one's own values and strengths as a leader and how participants can craft positive relationships in the workplace.
We will look into different approaches and benefits to leadership, and participants will learn to develop their own path and style as leaders.
We address the topics of psychological safety, appreciation, strengths-based working, and active dialogue.
-
Everyone who is transitioning into a leadership position or wants to be more aware and successful as a leader.
-
Because leadership is a very complex and demanding field and differs drastically from the tasks and skillset of a professional career.
-
I offer a wide range of models, tailored to your needs, e.g.:
1:1 training to work on specific aspects of your skills
One- or two-day focused training for groups of around 10 people.
Special ongoing trainings for leadership-groups over a time of 6 months
It all depends on what you want to work on, how much time you want to spend, and how big your budget is.
The Priority Principle
Learn how to lead yourself and others effectively and meaningfully. Master prioritization, strategic focus, and communication skills to reduce overwhelm and increase impact.
-
In this training, you'll learn how to take control of your time and energy instead of being controlled by them. We'll work with proven methods like the Eisenhower Matrix and Buffett's 5/25 Method to help you distinguish between urgent and important, identify your top priorities, and say no to the rest – even to good things.
You'll also learn practical communication techniques for saying no without damaging relationships, delegating in ways that enable and develop your team, and using Active Constructive Responding (ACR) to motivate and strengthen connections.
The training combines theory, reflection, hands-on practice, and peer learning. You'll leave with your personal top-priorities, concrete action plans, and an accountability partnership to support your implementation.
-
Leaders and professionals who want to master their priorities, protect time for what truly matters, and lead with clarity and purpose.
Anyone who wants to move from reactive to proactive, from busy to purposeful.
-
Because the important must not be sacrificed to the urgent. When leaders can't manage themselves, they can't lead others well. Burnout, poor decisions, micromanagement, and demotivated teams are often the result.
Good self-management enables good leadership. This training gives you the tools to regain clarity, focus on what truly matters, and create the space for meaningful work and team development.
-
I offer a wide range of models, tailored to your needs, e.g.:
Two-day intensive training for groups of around 10 people
Compact one-day version for quicker implementation
Workshop series spread over several weeks
Free 30-45 minute impulse talk as a teaser for your team or organization
It all depends on what you want to work on, how much time you want to spend, and how big your budget is.
Life’s a Pitch
Learn how to present and communicate with maximum impact. Captivate your audience through a wide range of verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
-
You will learn how to have more fun and success presenting ideas. No matter if it’s a sales pitch, a Keynote at a conference or during a company wide townhall meeting.
But: What makes a great presentation? How do you turn ideas and facts into exciting stories? How do you design slides that stick instead of boring your audience to death? How do you communicate with curiosity and confidence? How do you interact with your audience? How do you deal with nervousness and anxiety?
During this training, you will find answers to these questions.
-
Everyone who wants to feel more confident and at ease while presenting.
People who do a lot of public speaking and want to refine their skills.
People who need very specific training before talking at a conference or an important client pitch.
-
Because you want to convince and excite people. To fund your projects. To hire you. To go skydiving. To try that new pizza spot. Everything and anything.
Everybody has to present at some point in their life. Some love it, some loathe it. I believe that it can be a lot of fun and nobody has to be afraid of it.
-
I offer a wide range of models, tailored to your needs, e.g.:
1:1 training to work on specific aspects of your skills
Small groups of 3-4 people where we get together every second week for some hours to in-depth training
Two day focus training for groups of around 10 people.
Special trainings for bigger groups where I work with a good friend of mine, the actor Jacob Matschenz.
It all depends on what you want to work on, how much time you want to spend, and how big your budget is.
Chemistry & Conflict
Learn fundamental psychological and sociological insights to become a better communicator. Leave assumptions and projections behind – communicate with clarity and empathy.
-
You will learn to get better at feedback, during conflicts and negotiations.
What do I want? How do I express it properly? What do the others want? How do we find a common denominator? How do we deal with conflict?
During this training, you will find answers to these questions. You will learn about Carl Rogers’ Active Listening, Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication, Schulz von Thun’s communication models, and how methods from systemic coaching and positive psychology can help you become a better communicator.
-
People who work with people. From project managers to teachers, leaders, to everyone in HR.
Everyone in the public relations and communication industry.
-
Because, as Paul Watzlawick so wonderfully said: ‘One cannot not communicate’.
We all communicate — verbally and nonverbally — on a daily basis. Yet communication is complicated and often leads to unwanted results, anger, and conflict. Understanding how it works and becoming more aware and capable should be in everyone’s interest.
-
I do everything from very specific 1:1 training, to small groups of 3-4 people where we get together e.g. every second week for some hours to in-depth training for groups of max. 10 people.
I also do special trainings with a colleague of mine who is a certified mediator.
It all depends on what you want to work on, how much time you want to spend, and how big your budget is.
