Our career factory stands for bespoke craftsmanship, solid quality, and durability. The decisive factor is profound expert knowledge and many years of experience.

 

The products are unique. They are tailor-made. Just like successful careers. These do not come about by chance either, but are the result of a realistic goal orientation, disciplined approach, and perseverance.


And the expert knowledge of an experienced craftsman.

Successful Careers ...

Successful careers are not always straightforward. Much like hiking trails. Sometimes it's smooth sailing, sometimes it's demanding and steep after a turn. Turning back is usually not an option. Signposts are always welcome, they inform about direction, turns, and distance.

If you seek exchange of experience, orientation and impulses in your career, I am happy to be your companion for a while.

If you want to enrich your hiking bag with further leadership tools, I will be happy to support you in packing. 

And if it is about your personal, individual questions in the operational environment, I will be at your side as sparring partner.

Career Impulses

Careers are unique. No two are alike. The higher you climb, the more often your perspective changes. Standing at the bottom, the summit seems infinitely far away. When you reach the summit, there's the fear of falling.

​

A professional adviser is needed for a safe ascent, descent and the right turning points.

Leadership Tools

Management and leadership. Often mixed-up, but not the same thing. Successful leaders inspire. And have both feet on the ground. Have a high level of emotional intelligence. Know themselves, their competencies, and their limits. Know the indispensable elements of successful, situational leadership.

​

To make sure your luggage of leadership tools fits, a coach with practical experience can help.

Mentoring Script

Everyday business is characterized by an extensive agenda of topics, issues, and decisions. In a professional environment increasingly characterized by uncertainty. The challenges vary according to hierarchical level and career progress. An outside view with objectivity on the topic or acting persons, leads to additional perspectives and options for action. And above all, it makes it possible to participate in the experienced knowledge of the sparring partner.

​

For this sparring, a mentor with extensive practical experience, especially intercultural experience, is valuable.

The Leading Mind

As a "Global Industrial Nomad" with over 20 years living and working in India, China, Turkey, and Brazil, as well as experience with OEMs and family businesses, I know professional phases of change very well. What success feels like, what setbacks mean. The changing challenges of new beginnings as well as the different paths and phases of professional careers.

​

In these years, I have accompanied many people across all hierarchical levels in their professional development. Given young talents guidance and been a mentor. Just as I have been a sparring partner for experienced managers. And have given new impulses to top decision-makers.

​

I know the issues and emotional situations at life's professional crossroads from many encounters and conversations. The relevant considerations for the right direction. The indispensable core competencies of successful leadership, especially in times of increasing uncertainty. I know the criteria that are decisive for personnel decisions at top level. Often enough I have made these decisions myself.

​

I would be very happy to support you with my experience as an adviser, coach, and mentor.
