My approach is rooted in Gestalt philosophy—Gestalt is a German word meaning "to make something whole." Inspired by pioneers like Fritz Perls, Bion and Jenny McKewn, I believe that even in the most difficult circumstances, we have a "creative self" capable of finding solutions. Change-Gestalten is about involving you, your team, or your organization directly in the process, empowering you to actively create the change you want to see.
I believe that every person is their own best "creative solution" at any given moment. When we face change—or feel the urge to create it—we often try to bypass the present to get to the future. However, as Fritz Perls famously said: “Nothing changes until it becomes what it is.”
In our coaching, we start by respecting what you have built and the person you have become. We explore your current reality with honesty. Only by fully acknowledging "what is" can we find the clarity needed to decide where you want to go and how to get there.
I also partner with organizations to bridge the gap between a written strategy and a lived reality. A strategy is only as strong as the relationships of the people tasked with delivering it. I take a human relations perspective: while project planning is essential, the human factors like feeling included, being recognized and other group dynamics often determine success.
By facilitating these processes and creating time for genuine reflection, I help teams move past friction and toward collective effectiveness.
Finally, I am committed to the world we inhabit. I am driven by the idea of co-creating a fairer, more sustainable world. Whether through my work with NGOs, my work at OMV focused on a circular economy, to small choices like hosting this website via Greenspace. I believe these "small steps" are vital in our shared service to life on earth.
