Lecturer:

As a graduated banker, certified business trainer and trained entrepreneur coach (solution-focused and systemic coaching), I am an expert in soft-skills. These have an equally enormous value next to the professional orientation, especially when working with people. Whether in business, in NPO’s or in private life, these skills are often in demand in order to appear successful and charismatic, to be recognized or simply to appear good. My seminars are interactive, with many individual and group exercises, self-reflections and conversations. Students are given the opportunity to address their questions, issues and experiences in a protected setting and to develop strategies on how to manage their everyday life more effectively.
