TeamEssenz Coaching & Consulting: Coaching – Training – Facilitation the cross-cultured way

Approach and Method
I follow a holistic approach and co-active form of coaching which I also implement in training. I aim to create a deep connection to engage in the exploration of aspirations, values, and motivation, and facilitate the discovery of competencies and thought processes. I strive to create a space of awareness for the self and for what is beyond the self, allowing that awareness to open up for shifts in mindset, enhancing communication and crossing cultural divides.
In the space of learning, I engage in self-reflection and discovery with powerful questions, co-creating actions and being the accountability partner needed to maintain motivation and commitments essential to reaching goals set. I empower my clients to grow, develop and build their own toolbox to deepen their learning and create real and lasting change
My role as a coach is to be a place of trust, deep listening, non-judgement, and encouragement. It is to be the fearless coach that inspires clients to be fearless, passionate, bold, and authentic as they explore and create their new path.

Who I am
I was born in Germany and grew up in Taiwan where I went to an international school that hosted 52 nations at that time. Speaking German, English, Chinese, and later Spanish daily formed the core of my multicultural comfort zone very early on. After enjoying a 15 yr. global sales & marketing career in an international setting headquartered in Germany, I grasped the opportunity of completely recreating my own path upon moving to Michigan in 2010. I find joy in diversity, perspectives, building connections, and simplifying complexity, and I use my various cross-cultural experiences to support clients in their growth, creating their authentic self, forever learning, and courage to become the person they strive to be.

Imagine having consistent, laser-focused time with a trusted partner whose only agenda is to help you succeed. Imagine the opportunity to step back and reflect – regularly – with someone who’s got your back and is focused on your future; who’s trained to help you, your team, and your organization bring about deep learning, targeted results, and meaningful engagement. Someone to help you manage your energy, attention, and time so you can thrive… at work and at home.

As a leader, your success largely depends on how you show up every day. It’s the core energy you bring to everything you do. Are you the kind of leader who people want to follow or have to follow? How well do you follow yourself (your own goals and intentions)? As a leader, you can create the kind of energy that leads to positive results by starting with yourself. What you bring to work – or anywhere, for that matter – is what you cultivate in others. You can create a work environment where engagement, accountability, and well-being are high. Success and satisfaction – who doesn’t want that?

I can help you:

• Focus on what’s most important – to your organization and you
• Increase your ability to inspire, motivate and influence others
• Align daily decisions and actions with your goals
• Develop small habits to create big change
• Close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it
• Get and respond to high-quality feedback from others
• Address your blind spots and change behaviors that get in the way of success
• Build an aligned team so that performance and satisfaction skyrocket
• Take care of yourself (get off the burnout track)
• ...and help your emerging leaders to do the same!... See More
