About me

Global leadership Persistence and focus Purpose-driven coaching

For more than 30 years I worked at Robert Bosch and led teams on three continents. Along the way I learned how much clarity, trust and the right questions matter when something needs to change.

In recent years I have worked with people and companies from Latin America, Spain, Germany and Austria on career changes, new challenges and personal development.

What shaped me

My professional career has had a lasting influence on me and given me skills that enrich my work as a coach today. They include the ability to adapt to different cultures and ways of working, the assertiveness to deliver demanding projects, and the persistence to stay solution-focused in difficult situations and pursue my goals consistently.

These qualities have stayed with me not only at work but also in my sporting challenges, especially marathons and Ironman races. They taught me how important it is to know my own limits, to deal with setbacks and to stay focused on long and demanding journeys.

Today I combine these professional and personal experiences with my coach training to help people unfold their potential, approach challenges consciously and pursue their professional and personal goals with clarity, endurance and confidence.

Frequently asked questions about my coaching/mentoring

Who is the coaching/mentoring for?

My coaching/mentoring is for leaders who want to strengthen their potential, professionals who aspire to leadership roles, and people who have just taken on new responsibilities and want to approach this stage with confidence and clarity.

I also work with professionals who are looking for a better balance between work and personal life, want to manage their priorities and reach their goals without neglecting their well-being.

Whether you want to develop your leadership skills, are going through a career transition or are looking for a more sustainable balance in your daily life, coaching/mentoring gives you space to reflect, identify your strengths and turn your goals into concrete actions.

What can I achieve by working with you?

Coaching/mentoring helps you become more aware of your strengths, identify areas for growth and find new perspectives on your professional and personal challenges.

Over the course of the process you will clarify your goals, make decisions with more confidence, manage your priorities better and develop tools that help you lead more effectively and with more balance.

The aim is to turn your reflections into concrete action and find a way forward that is aligned with your values and aspirations.

How does the coaching/mentoring process work?

The process consists of 12 personalised sessions, tailored to your needs, your goals and your current situation.

We start by exploring where you are today and defining what you want to achieve. From there we work on the challenges that matter most to you, such as leadership development, time management, decision-making, professional confidence or the balance between work and personal life.

Each session helps you reflect, see new possibilities and define concrete actions to apply between sessions. We review your progress and adjust the process to your needs.

Do I need clear goals before we start?

No. It is enough to want to improve something in your professional or personal life, even if you are not yet sure what you need or how to get there.

An important part of coaching/mentoring is precisely helping you gain clarity, recognise what matters to you and define goals that fit your values, your strengths and your aspirations.

You don’t need to have all the answers before we start. We will explore them together along the way.

How can I tell whether coaching/mentoring is right for me?

The first step is a free initial conversation in which we get to know each other, explore your needs and goals, and I explain how I work.

It is a chance to talk about the challenges you are facing, ask your questions and see whether my coaching/mentoring approach fits what you are looking for.

There is no need to decide straight away. The first conversation is simply meant to help you find out whether this process can support your professional and personal development.

Would you like to take the next step?

Sometimes moving forward is not about doing more, but about gaining clarity on who you want to be, how you want to lead and where you want to put your time and energy.
