You have the goal - together we find the way.
Goals are great.
They motivate and give us a perspective.
Der Weg zum Ziel kann jedoch voller Überraschungen sein: Vor allem in einer Welt des ständigen Wandels und Transformation brauchen Führungskräfte die Fähigkeit, …sich an neue Herausforderungen anzupassen, um in einem schnelllebigen Umfeld erfolgreich zu sein – als Führungskraft sowie auch im Management Team. Dies erfordert den Auf- und Ausbau vor allem der Soft Skills, um zukunftsfit zu sein.
Spontaneous events & developments present us with new challenges. Then, we find ourselves at a point where we can no longer progress as we would like and have no idea how to proceed.
So the question often arises: What can I do, how can I proceed and who support me?
Als mehrfach zertifizierte Coach mit langjähriger internationaler, interkultureller Führungserfahrung und mit profunder Expertise in Transformation bin ich deine Sparringpartnerin.
Together we will find the way.
With systemic coaching, we work on the challenges that emerge in the work environment. I am dedicated to supporting the coachees in realising their full potential to succeed in a constantly changing world. Tailor-made and fully aligned to meet your individual needs, we develop unique strategies and solutions to achieve the goal sustainably.
Coaching offers coachees a safe space in which they can discuss their challenges openly and with the utmost confidentiality.

Change, Transformation and Resistance
- Initial situation: Im Zuge einer organisatorischen Transformation/Restrukturierung übernahm eine Führungskraft die Verantwortung für ein neu strukturiertes Team. Die Veränderung führte im Team zu Unsicherheit und unterschiedlichen Erwartungen an Führung und Zusammenarbeit. Widerstände gegenüber neuen Prozessen sowie eine erhöhte Belastung im Arbeitsalltag beeinträchtigten die Motivation und erschwerten die Umsetzung der Veränderungsziele.
- Objective: Implement transformation, provide guidance, and build a team.
- Intervention: 1:1 Coaching
- Result: Transformation mastered, clear team vision, cohesion. The manager gained significantly more confidence in her role as change leader and was able to actively shape the transformation process. Communication within the team became more open and clearer, while uncertainties were reduced. The team developed a more constructive attitude towards the changes and worked together in an increasingly solution-oriented manner.

- Intervention: Moderated team workshops on cultural awareness and joint development of a framework.
- Result: Result: More trust, fewer conflicts, better collaboration. The measures led to significantly improved collaboration. Internal team conflicts were significantly reduced, while mutual understanding, trust and appreciation were strengthened in the long term. Collaboration became more efficient, constructive and productive.
"Anja supported our international team to better understand cultural differences and use them constructively. Her facilitation created an open dialogue within the team, which has improved our cooperation in the long term. Trust, mutual understanding and clarity in communication have grown significantly since then. Thank you!"

FAQ
Q: For whom is executive coaching at Tigers & Flamingos suitable?
A: For leaders who want to achieve something — and who are prepared to take an honest look at themselves. Not for people seeking validation. If you know that things need to change, but aren’t quite sure how: then this is a good fit.
Q: How does the coaching process work at Tigers & Flamingos?
A: We start with a free initial consultation — no sales pitch, just an open conversation. Then, together, we define your goal and the path to achieve it. By the end, you’ll have more than just an answer, but a tool you can use for the long term.
Q: How long does a coaching process take?
A: That depends on your goal. We’ll decide that together at the start.
Q: Do you work remotely as well?
A: Yes. Being there in person is nice — but it’s not essential. I work with executives from all over Europe and beyond. Video sessions work just as well, provided the setting is right.
Q: What sets Tigers & Flamingos apart from other coaching services?
A: No off-the-shelf answers. Instead, over 20 years of first-hand leadership experience — gained at Daimler China, at international agencies (including in Helsinki), and through real-life crises. Certified coaching meets practical leadership experience on an equal footing. That’s the difference.
Q: Which topics can I discuss during a coaching session?”
A: Anything that concerns you as a leader. Role transitions, team conflicts, pressure to make decisions, transformation, intercultural challenges, personal development. No topic is too small. No topic is too big.
