Background
Claudia specialises in working with executives with regional or international responsibilities. Having worked with virtual teams in fast-paced environments in her own corporate career in IT, she deepened her understanding of the complexities of remote management through research and lecturing in this field. Her in-depth exploration of the issues and best practices of working across geographies and cultures using virtual technologies enables her to effectively support clients working in highly dynamic global contexts. She coaches to native speaker standard in English and German and has experience of coaching individual clients, groups and teams from a large range of countries and organisations. Her portfolio has included lecturing in business and coaching at Oxford Brookes Business School and she has extensive experience in training and supervising coaches.
Coaching Style
Claudia uses a systemic approach and creates a reflective environment that enables clients to clarify issues, create solutions and achieve goals while considering their organizational and wider external context. The focus of the coaching is on increasing clients’ self-awareness through identifying strengths, values, and influence of other factors such as cultural background, and adopting perspectives that create clarity of the organisational and wider systemic context. This is achieved through working in partnership with the client to develop clients’ capacity to manage transitions, challenges and opportunities successfully. Clients often report that the coaching has increased their capacity for reflection and self-coaching and describe the coaching as practical, insightful and creative.
