simply means helping managers to do their job better. And how this works looks different every time, because it has to suit the person, the team and the organization.
Executive Development:
There are many buzzwords. The key is to talk to each other and examine what needs to be done. Very briefly, you should know the following about me:
Over the past 27 years, I have worked as a manager, organizational consultant, personnel developer, coach, trainer and supervisor.
For me as a pragmatist, theory and practice go hand in hand. Depending on the requirements, I use many different methods and approaches, and I am particularly committed to the integrative meta-theory approach of the Hephaistos Institute in Munich.
I have seen many business trends come and go, learned and unlearned a lot. I offer individual, team, conflict and organizational coaching and cooperate with various partners on leadership journeys.
Since 2024, I have also been offering workshops and retreats at the Triglitz Watermill - my new passion project in Brandenburg.

Few people like conflict. They cost energy and burn up energy. But they are often also door openers for new structures. There will never be a world without conflict, because life is conflict and peace. And if you understand how to regulate conflict dynamics in a helpful way, this is a huge gain.

Anyone who works in a company knows how much energy conflicts cost. In order to regulate these well, we use the conflict model of metatheory and learn how to diagnose a conflict, what structure is inherent in it and what role and preferences I myself have in the dynamic.
