About Christina
When we achieve harmony and balance in our lives, we can experience the beauty of this in many aspects of our lives.
I help managers and professionals who are facing challenges or major changes in their private or business lives.
Often personal wellbeing, health issues and long-held values and beliefs play an important role in this process, too.
I bring over 15 years of international business experience to my coaching work, mainly from the IT Industry, with expertise in Sales, Sales Management and Business Planning at EMEA level. I hold a Master Degree from the University of Passau and a MBA from Henley Business School.
Whilst employed at Hewlett-Packard, I was selected as executive coach to provide career & leadership coaching to senior executives during their top talent development programmes.
I left the corporate world in autumn 2013 to pursue a career change and help others improve their life.
Experience
In my coaching practice I have observed the positive transformation coaching can make for someone who is facing significant challenges.
Coaching can assist you to make up your mind, embrace change and find the courage to fulfill your dream whatever it may be, a new career, self-employment, changing location for example.
I qualified with The Coaching Academy as Personal Performance Coach and am accredited in DISC profiling which I use in my coaching practice. I have coached senior managers during their company development programme.
Since my return to Germany I have remained a volunteer coach at the Career Springboard in England. This charity offers support to managers and professionals in their job search.
I also support university graduates as a mentor-coach during their transition into the business world.
I coach clients in German and English, face to face and via skype or telephone. My current location is in the Heilbronn area in Germany, where I offer face to face coaching, too.
Coaching style
Coming from the corporate world myself, I understand the challenges and requirements we face at work and in our private lives and that we may become exhausted or even burnt-out as a result. I work with many clients who find themselves facing a situation that requires a tough decision, followed by some first steps to make changes happen.
I consider myself a pioneer with a flexible and pragmatic approach towards life’s challenges. This has helped me finding my feet when I moved to England in 1999 and also when I relocated back to Germany 15 years later. I know what it is like standing at a cross-roads wondering which direction to take, knowing that your life will be turned upside down. It is all about making a decision, running with it and keeping the faith. If this resonates with you, I would love to be at your side and support you through the changes you are facing right now. I am not saying that this is easy, but it is possible if you learn to believe in yourself.
I find that we are much more creative and open to new ways when we are relaxed. This is why I take a holistic approach and offer my clients to combine Coaching with Reiki Healing (*).
It is relaxing, removes some of our internal blockages and gently opens us up to experience change.
