Relational coaching offers a mirror in which coachees can see, hear and understand themselves more clearly. An atmosphere of trust and targeted questions can support the coachee in discovering aspects of themselves and their situation that they were not aware of before.

Central to relational coaching is working with relational perspectives and dynamics in the work environment. Leaders do not live and work in isolation, but are part of the relational conditions that surround them. Their experiences with these conditions shape their attitudes, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. In the context of their business relationships, one of the main tasks of leaders is to guide and enable people to work well together, to fulfil their individual roles and to realise their collective potential in order to achieve the company's goals. Relational competence and reflective skills are the keys to success in this regard. This cannot be developed through training, but requires the ability to self-reflect.

Against this background, Relational Coaching aims at:

• Increased awareness of thinking and behavioural habits.

• Greator awareness of the impact on others

• Hightened awareness of the organisational culture and its impact on the people in the organisation

• New perspectives on problems, dilemmas and decisions

• Impetus to experiment with different behaviours and approaches 

• Reflection and learning

Thematically, a variety of different situations can be addressed, such as conflicts in the workplace, the transfer of new tasks, dealing with competition, stress or the pressure to succeed. Such situations can trigger discomfort and anxiety. However, these emotions do not have to be a bad thing, but can be used in Relational Coaching as a resource for motivation, change, and growth. The core principle is that each person has a specific relationship to their circumstances. Therefore, there can be no ready-made guide.

Furthermore, I worked in Human Recourses with a focus on recruitment and development. I set up my coaching business in 2020.
