Coaching Lab

Whether it is 1-to-1 or in a group, coaching is a process that illuminates new perspectives, shifts mindsets and brings out the answers that are inside the person being coached.

Here’s how it works

You bring the answers (even when they are not clear to you yet) and a willingness to release what is getting in your way.  I bring the right questions to help you move from where you are to where you want to be –  and I bring a LOT of questions.

Core-Energy Coaching, Stakeholder-Centered Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) are a few of the powerful methodologies and techniques I use in coaching.

I like to keep things simple AND if needed, I also have a host of tools available, because every engagement is unique.

In addition to coaching leaders and their teams directly, I can also guide leaders through the process of becoming better at coaching their people as an important part of effective leadership.

We can work in-person, as well as virtually by phone or video conference. Whatever the medium, you can trust the process to be effective. I work in the languages English and German.

The Coaching Lab recap:

• 1-to-1 or group coaching
• for all levels of leadership, team members, individual contributors
• onsite, offsite, in-person, virtual
• English or German language

Training Lab

Whether you are a subject-matter expert, an emerging leader, or a senior leader, you probably know that there are at least 4 different learner types/learning styles.

What you may not know is that in addition to those learning styles, as adults we learn differently than when we were kids in school. That is why I’ve designed my training experiences to encompass not only different styles but also the pedagogy behind adult learning.

Relax, you don’t have to learn about the process, just know that it is part of the concept to help you learn, process, and retain more of what you learn. Thus, you get a bigger return on your investment. You’ll also have a lot more fun.

Knowledge is great; application that meets your challenge and gets you results is even greater.

Here’s what we can work on together

When you hire me to train, you have access to a wide range of expertise focused on practical application. My training topics encompass personal development, leadership, and communication. Personal development includes intra- and interpersonal skills including building confidence, building resilience, overcoming impostor phenomenon (aka impostor syndrome), and developing emotional intelligence.  Communication includes values-based and appreciative communication, stakeholder-centered communication, difficult conversations, and delivering feedback.  Leadership includes creating and leading high-performance teams.

I also train on other topics around Diversity and Inclusion themes, such as empowering women, recognizing and dismantling bias, and cultivating an anti-racist culture.

Your needs,  the needs of your organization, and the goals for training determine whether we work one-to-one, in small or large groups, in a meeting room setting or a larger conference auditorium setting, onsite, offsite, in-person, or virtual.

CAUTION: If you find laughing, dancing, singing, or an occasional tear, unprofessional, or completely unacceptable in a training environment, you may want to work with someone else.

We can work in-person, as well as virtually by phone or video conference. Whatever the medium, you can trust the process to be effective. I work in the languages English and German.

Speaking Lab

A leader who is unable to inspire others will soon find themselves with no one to lead or even worse, followed by a bunch of disengaged followers!

The ability to efficiently and effectively deliver information and communicate a message that moves people is a key competency for success and effectiveness as a leader.

If it doesn’t reach, impact, and move the listener, what you say is irrelevant. This is why speaking to be heard and understood may be the most important skill you’ll learn in life.

Here’s what we can work on together

Whether you are speaking to your team, your colleagues, or your shareholders, you need to convey competence and authenticity, strong speaking skills give you the confidence to do that.

The most effective speakers embody competence and confidence through their: Mindset, Movement, and Message. These are the aspects that we’ll focus on when we work together.

Need to prepare for a high-stakes meeting, a conference, a TED talk, or an award ceremony?  Whatever the occasion, I’ve got you covered. 

As a professional speaker and storyteller, who was in the top 1% of over 35,000 speakers competing to reach the world championship of public speaking two years consecutively,  I know how powerful words are. I also know how much more powerful words become when delivered through masterful storytelling, with the right mix of passion, emotion, and skill. I will help you find the right mix for your presentation.

We can work in-person, as well as virtually by phone or video conference. Whatever the medium, you can trust the process to be effective. I work in the languages English and German.
