For me, all good solutions are simple - and they start in detail. For me, everything is connected. People, generations, destinies. Personal and professional activity. Professional knowledge and non-knowledge. Thoughts, feelings and the body. I build bridges of love between different points of view and experiences. In my work I connect what is unconnected. In ourselves - and in leadership. I look for solutions that serve the whole.

Short and sweet

  • I train and accompany leaders from business, culture/media, health care, education - in corporate change processes and professional and personal transformation processes.
