  • “I started my coaching journey with Katharina with the goal of consciously shaping my transition from an individual contributor to a manager role in a way that allowed me to stay true to my own values. What I particularly appreciated was her ability to quickly structure complex situations together with me and make them tangible through helpful metaphors and concrete methods. Through the coaching, I developed a new understanding that assertiveness and empathetic authenticity are not contradictory and that I can adapt my leadership style to different situations without compromising who I am. Today, I approach challenging leadership situations with much more confidence and a clear inner compass.”

  • “I met Katharina through workshops at Heineken and knew immediately that I wanted to work with her on my personal topics - our collaboration even continued beyond my time there. My goal was to become more self-assured as an ambitious person in a business context, to understand the triggers behind my insecurities and to gain practical tools for difficult everyday situations. Thanks to Katharina’s empathetic approach, working together never felt like a demanding coaching session, but rather like a relaxed conversation at eye level that I looked forward to every time. Today, I understand my triggers much better and deliberately focus my energy on the things I can influence myself. I can wholeheartedly recommend Katharina!”

  • “The EQ Retreat gave me a clear understanding of emotional intelligence, together with practical tools I could use in everyday life. Since then, I have become more aware of my emotions, kinder towards myself and better able to pause before reacting. This helps me respond in ways that reflect what I need and what matters to me. It was a powerful experience with like-minded people in an environment that made personal growth possible.”

  • “The EQ Retreat was a wonderful and well-rounded introduction to empathy and emotional intelligence. I came away with a lot of positive energy and felt motivated to explore the subject more deeply. Lea and Katharina are wonderful coaches who are passionate about their work and make the subject authentic and accessible.”
