Be ready for the future.

The environment is constantly changing, targets are shifting, teams are international, and markets can turn overnight.

Since the age of 23, I have been acquiring leadership experience in precisely this environment: in large corporations and medium-sized businesses, in Beijing, Helsinki and Düsseldorf. I know what it means to lead with confidence when everything is constantly changing and to manage internationally based teams across time zones.
Especially in a world of constant change and transformation, leaders increasingly need the soft skills to adapt to new challenges in order to succeed in a fast-paced environment. Both in their individual roles as leaders and as part of a management team. It is precisely these soft skills that we will continue to expand together, ensuring that you are ready for the future.

As a multi-certified coach with a wealth of more of 20 years of international, intercultural leadership experience and profound expertise in transformation, I am your sparring partner.

Certified support for your personal evolution.

I am committed to supporting you in achieving success in a constantly changing world. We develop bespoke strategies and solutions, tailored entirely to your individual needs, to ensure you achieve your goal in the most sustainable way.

Coaching offers you a safe space in which we can discuss your challenges openly and in strict confidence. This applies, of course, to all my programmes.

Tigers & Flamingos symbolises the complementary qualities that all leaders embody in their roles: in some situations, they find themselves alone in the operational jungle, for example, when decisions have to be made. And, like the flamingo, they are part of a large organisation and are comfortable taking a bird’s-eye view.

Since 2020 I coach according to the international highest ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and over-compensate C02 emissions via the own company forest.

Change, Transformation and Resistance

• Initial situation: During an organisational transformation/restructuring, a manager assumed responsibility for a newly structured team. The change led to uncertainty within the team and differing expectations regarding leadership and collaboration. Resistance to new processes and increased stress in everyday work affected motivation and made it difficult to implement the objectives.
• 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.

Intercultural Collaboration in Global Teams

• Initial situation: A team with an international line-up at a globally active company was experiencing considerable friction in its cooperation. Different cultural influences, communication styles and working methods led to misunderstandings, inefficient coordination processes and recurring conflicts within the team.
• Objective: Effective, conflict-reduced cooperation in an international team.
• 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!"
