Success Stories

Katja Pischel supported me during a situation where I was “in a stuck state” professionally. I was extremely frustrated and wavered between further attempts to change the situation or simply break new ground.

The coaching helped me to shift my focus from the problem to my abilities to solve it.

Defining your own brand in such a reflective and honest way makes a huge difference compared to simply building a story. What we worked on deeply resonated with me. We simply got to the heart of who I am – with words and visualization.

With the findings of the coaching process, I was able to finally conclude my current situation. Much more important, however, was that I was prepared to go into discussions about new challenges, both in terms of content but also mentally. I used the results of the work directly for my ‘self-pitch’. At the same time, I was able to reflect on the extent to which an offer really suited me. A short time later, several exciting options arose, from which I chose a new role that really suited me.

I can really only recommend working with Katja Pischel. Her ability to create a positive solution flow, then to get to the heart of things efficiently and make them directly implementable, was invaluable to me.

Thank you, Katja, for such a valuable and inspiring personal branding journey. Your thoughtful, warm, and engaging coaching style made it easy to open up, reflect, and grow. I learned so much—not just from you, but also from the brilliant group of women you brought together. It was a joy to be part of such a supportive and insightful space. I’m walking away with more clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of how I want to show up in my professional life. Grateful to have been part of it!

Katja’s course provides a solid foundation for understanding one’s values, strengths and ultimately creating clarity around what one has to offer in a working environment. For the course I attended, she brought together a diverse group of professional women, then thoughtfully guided us through each creative stage. The group approach was very supportive and full of positive energy, whilst at times an intensive personal process. As a result of the course I can much more intentionally approach how and where and why I would like to build reputation in my areas of expertise. For experienced professionals looking for more purpose-focussed orientation in their career or business, I highly recommend Katja’s professional guidance via her effective and encouraging coaching techniques.

If you are looking for shortcuts, Katja is your go-to person. She helped me to quickly and purposefully bring structure to my chaos and to turn diffuse ideas into a clear positioning and concrete goals. Our collaboration has given me the clarity and focus I need to intuitively make the right decisions for my second career path. After a fantastic group coaching with helpful tools and valuable exchange, I now not only have the safety and confidence that I will make the step to start my own business, but also know exactly how – including a useful “detour” via a full-time job. 

Before working with Katja, I felt pretty lost in building my part-time business. I didn’t know where and how to start. This constant mental chatter about my professional future cost me a lot of energy.  

The structured and logical setup of the coaching program was exactly the “roadmap” I had been looking for so long. With empathetic and at the same time targeted questions, Katja magically makes sure that the participants always feel motivated, never lose sight of focus and reach their individual goals in the fastest way possible. Through Katja’s continuous loving little nudges in the right direction, I have managed to not only gain clarity about my own niche within a short time, but also to create a strong vision and mission for myself and to design a concept for my first offer with which I can start selling.   

With Katja’s Personal Branding Program and sustainable coaching support, I was able to gain gradual and helpful clarity for the initially unfinished vision of my entrepreneurship: how and what for can I make my path meaningful and define important milestones? I can highly recommend Katja in this self-development process as an encouraging companion! Our cooperation is special, inspiring and enriching due to our shared values such as commitment, trust and mutual respect. And in particular, I appreciate that we can always work together at eye level in very different forms of cooperation!

I have a lot of ideas and am good at structuring others, but not myself. In the past, this led to endless pieces of paper with an incredible number of tasks that felt hardly being worked on every evening and the feeling of having achieved nothing. As a CEO amd shareholder in 4 different companies, my time management for the different topics is a big challenge for me.  

In working with Katja, it is always possible for me to prioritize, to bring clarity to the distinction between important and urgent topics as well as unimportant and non-urgent ones. By making  annual, quarterly and monthly plans, there is clarity about what I want to do and what is realistically feasible. Since the freedom-loving part of me would like to let go of all reins, I like to return to Katja again and again “remorsefully” and we prioritize together again. She is also a great sparring partner for me.  

Every hour brings me new insights and Katja has empowered me to set up my plans on my own. With ease and fun, we approach the topic of prioritization, which is difficult for me. I would not have achieved many goals if I had not worked with Katja, as I would have let myself be carried away by working on unimportant details. I am much more relaxed, even working fewer hours a week. At the same time, I work more effectively on what is important to me, have the feeling of creating a lot and have fun! I can highly recommend working with Katja.  

Dear Katja, thank you very much for the inteinsive coaching time. It was amazing and absolutely worth it!

I don´t exactly know how and why, but everything I wished for to happen persanally and within my challenging job decisions and times, has happened. 

It was wonderful productive, efficient and easy to work with you. The sessions were always well structured and funny and positive at the same time, so that it was incredibly satisfying, to work on my own topics fluently. Thank you for your time, energy, power and experience. Thank you for your appreciation and  the empowerment for my next huge step!
