Kathrin's secret is her genuine interest in the other person's point of view.

This EMPATHY was the most important fuel in our collaboration to tap into my resources. In a phase of total professional disorientation, with Kathrin's support I managed to refocus my attention on the essentials.
I regained self-confidence, assertiveness and above all my CREATIVITY, which I thought I had lost, to face the challenges ahead of me.

Kathrin's superpower?
Personally tailoring the support needed to each in the way that projects need to be successful.

It was time-critical. It was risky. It was big shoes to fill. And it worked fantastically.

Getting support for an entire workshop session as an audio guide via Messenger is something I haven't experienced before. Any audio book isboring by comparison.

I couldn't have been better prepared. Thank you Kathrin!

Kathrin's support is a particular asset for those who have to master challenging day-to-day business and profound changes at the same time. She understands the operational concerns of change leaders just as well as the complex demands on top management. Here one learns to see business situations in the context of necessary changes and to outline ways into the future that generate approval and motivation among employees. It explains the mechanisms of change, identifies the real causes of blockages and provides pragmatic help for self-help.

I have had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Kathrin over many years. An enthusiastic change manager who manages to align the meta-level and operational details. She manages to pragmatically convey modern approaches such as empowerment, agile or ambidextry while not forgetting classically relevant leadership topics. Both for me as a leader and for the team. Importantly, she brilliantly translates relevant needs of the team into concrete actions.... Her favourite phrase: "...and what do you need with it now...". Delightful! I am a fan of hers.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kathrin on major transformation projects for EADS. Kathrin always showed me how important it is never to take assumptions for granted when supporting people in the context of an important change. This means taking a pragmatic approach, always questioning the context and working without preconceived ideas about possible solutions. This way of working has helped us to understand the core problems and the real resistance to change more quickly and consequently to implement tailor-made solutions and tools faster, which has been of great benefit to the staff and the organisation. Furthermore, Kathrin is very empathetic and friendly and has a natural way of building trust because she simply cares about the people she supports and this makes a big difference.

I met Kathrin in 2013 as part of a complex change and transformation programme. She impressed me with her respectful, unprejudiced and energetic way of approaching people. With her empathy, she immediately created a positive working atmosphere characterised by trust. In order to bring the different experiences and knowledge of the project members on one level, Kathrin designed, initiated and conducted a change management training (theory and case study) parallel to the transformation process. This training clearly helped to reconcile differences in language, understanding and perception of "change management" and created an important common ground in the project team. Her strong conceptual skills and willingness to implement are remarkable. Despite a heavy workload, Kathrin always took time for personal coaching. Dear Kathrin, thank you very much!
