Coach, Mentor, Trainer at Stärkenblick
Ich suche Journalistinnen und Journalisten, die zu den Themen Persönlichkeitsentwicklung in der Führung, stärkenorientiertes Arbeiten, professionelle Menschlichkeit im Führungsalltag und die Wirkung authentischer Führung auf Teams recherchieren. Ich bringe drei Jahrzehnte Berufserfahrung mit, davon 15 Jahre in verschiedenen Führungsrollen. Seit 30 Jahren arbeite ich mit unterschiedlichen Ansätzen der Stärkenorientierung und bin seit 2019 intensiv in der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung tätig. Ich bin ausgebildeter psychologischer Berater, Businesscoach und zertifizierter Stärkentrainer. In meiner Arbeit begleite ich erfahrene Führungspersonen, Geschäftsführer und Unternehmer, die keinen klassischen Führungskurs suchen, sondern einen persönlichen Ansatz, mit dem sie Führung über Persönlichkeit, Haltung und individuelle Stärken entwickeln möchten. Parallel zu meiner Coachingaufgabe habe ich 2025 ein weiteres Unternehmen gegründet. Dieses hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, beeinträchtigte Kinder und Jugendliche vor allem im Schulalltag zu unterstützen. Mein Team und ich leisten damit einen wichtigen gesellschaftlichen Beitrag. Ich kann fundierte Aussagen geben zu den Risiken rein fachlich orientierter Führung, zu den Mustern, nach denen Teams Vertrauen oder Distanz aufbauen, zu den Effekten eines stärkenorientierten Führungsstils und zu den Entwicklungswegen, die Führung wirklich verändern statt nur Tools zu vermitteln. Für Interviews, Einschätzungen oder Hintergrundgespräche stehe ich kurzfristig bereit.
