Lecturer:

As a qualified banker, certified business trainer and trained entrepreneur coach (solution-focused and systemic coaching), I am an expert in soft skills. These are just as important as professional skills, especially when working with people. Whether in business, in NPOs or in private life, these skills are often required in order to appear successful and charismatic, to be recognized or simply to make a good impression. My seminars are designed to be interactive, with lots of individual and group exercises, self-reflection and discussions. Students are given the opportunity to deal with their questions, issues and experiences in a protected environment and to develop strategies on how they can manage their everyday lives more effectively.
