About

I support international leaders in navigating complexity, leading across cultures, and making clear, grounded decisions β€” even under pressure. As an Executive & Leadership Coach, I work with senior leaders, managers, and high-potential professionals who want to strengthen their leadership impact while staying aligned with who they are. With experience across 20+ countries and coaching in four languages (English πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, German πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ, French πŸ‡«πŸ‡· and Spanish πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ), I bring an intercultural perspective to leadership challenges in global environments. Typical topics I work on: β€’ Transition into leadership roles β€’ Leading international and diverse teams β€’ Decision-making under pressure β€’ Navigating conflict and complexity β€’ Building resilience and clarity β€’ Strengthening authentic leadership presence My approach combines solid business understanding with deep personal development. Because sustainable leadership is not only about what you do β€” but how you think, relate, and show up. I integrate: β€’ Systemic coaching β€’ Intercultural competence β€’ Reflection and awareness work β€’ Practical leadership tools What clients value: β€’ Clarity in complex situations β€’ Increased confidence and decision-making capacity β€’ More effective communication and leadership presence β€’ The ability to lead with both strength and authenticity Since 2019, I have supported 400+ leaders through more than 2,000 hours of coaching and leadership development. My work combines βœ… individual coaching βœ… executive sparring βœ… systemic leadership formats Always with a clear focus on tangible results in everyday business reality. I particularly value working with women leaders. I support them in strengthening their assertiveness, sharpening their positioning and leading with greater confidence and strategic impact, building on their relational intelligence and strong sense of ownership. ➑️ If you are leading in an international context and want to grow both as a leader and as a person, I’d be happy to connect. πŸ“© [email protected] ☎️ +43 660 399 69 74 🌐 www.goforimpact.com/english/
