Success Stories

Coming from a very diverse career background that combines the world of culture, business and tennis, I found myself standing in front of a yet another career change, while at the same time starting up my own tennis business. Even though, I had a clear view in my mind how to implement these changes and achieve my goals, I felt sometimes procrastinating, insecure and weak to communicate and explain my ideas and vision to externals as well as making things happen. Katja during our 1-2-1 sessions with targeted and well thought exercises gave me this extra boost I needed. She helped me to find clarity and the words/images to describe my very own original strengths, values and trademarks in a very structured, but at the same time creative and fun way. This two-month journey wasn’t always easy, but Katja has a magical positive energy as a coach, and can turn every hurdle into a constructive solution/answer. After our four sessions, I was more focused, confident about the values I represent and ready to communicate them during interviewing, pitching or any other arenas. It was definitely a very good investment of money and time and I can only highly recommend Katja’s Personal Branding Program.  

One notices from the first contact that Katja is a person who knows how to combine cordiality with expertise. Although I didn’t really need a coach at first, after a teaser lesson on LinkedIn, I went on a big journey to build my own brand with her. In an uncomplicated and natural manner, I really discovered completely new aspects. I can now not only name them, but also use them in a targeted manner thanks to her support. Her coaching skills go far beyond “what do you want”, but also include a holistic and long-term perspective from the beginning. I can now relate to both at any time and further develop them on my own. I have already recommended Katja to several friends, acquaintances and colleagues.

As the CEO of a fast-growing tech start-up, I literally have a 1000 things on my plate… working with Katja helped me so much to set the right priorities and manage my time efficiently. She is the perfect sparring partner to discuss and organize all the ideas I have for our business and get them executed.
Her strategic advice and facilitation on how to build a high-performing leadership team and prepare for crucial discussions, was extremely helpful for our company during a specifically stressful time.
In the name of the entire leadership team, I say THANK YOU! I can highly recommend working with Katja and look forward to continue our partnership!

I had the pleasure to work with Katja in various workshops in Microsoft’s Fast Forward program on topics like “Change Management” and “Virtual Leadership”. I am always thrilled how Katja emotionally meets me where I stand, promotes an inspiring group dynamic and enables an appreciative dialogue among the participants. In addition, I was able to benefit from the diverse and multifaceted practical examples that Katja brings to the workshops from her own professional experience.

Katja is one of the few people who truly understand the importance of company culture as the key differentiator to future-proof your business in the digital age. With her positive energy, clarity and pertinent insight she is enabling personal growth for people and cultural transformation for teams and organizations. In our joint time at Microsoft, I have always especially appreciated her persistence putting the importance of cultural transformation on top of everybodys agenda. It’s a pleasure working with Katja.
