About me
My Experience and Expertise
- I know leadership, change management and pressure from personal experience – and the challenges associated with them.
- Während mehr als 13 Jahren war ich als Kommunikationschefin und Mitglied des Top-Kaders internationaler und nationaler Unternehmen tätig. Ich habe CEOs, Geschäftsleitungen und Verwaltungsratspräsidenten beraten, grosse Veränderungsprozesse begleitet und Teams unterschiedlicher Grösse geführt – von kleinen Spezialistenteams bis zu Organisationseinheiten mit über 50 Mitarbeitenden.
- I understand both the perspective of senior management and that of employees. I know what high time and performance pressure feels like, how demanding crisis situations can be, and what change processes require from leaders and teams.
- Diese Erfahrungen verbinde ich heute mit einer fundierten Coaching-Ausbildung und langjähriger Praxis als Leadership Coach, Executive Coach, Team-Coach und Resilienztrainerin.
- This expertise is complemented by further training in crisis coaching and kinesiology, as well as a finance programme at London Business School.
- I have been a member of the Board of Directors of the Zug Cantonal Hospital since May 2021.
- I am the author of Books «Sustain your performance – practical tips for the business marathon» (Springer Verlag) as well as «Success! Success? In search of answers through conversations» (Tredition), in which 24 very different personalities share their personal views on success.
- Sport has also shaped me: as a Swiss Junior Women's Handball Champion, I learned early on what teamwork, responsibility and mental strength mean. Today, I am an ambassador for the «starch gmacht» campaign, which shows girls the skills they can develop through sport that will benefit them in their careers and life.
