From mountain guide to reflection partner - trust counts!
From mountain guide to reflection partner - trust counts!
People often ask me how I, as a mountain guide, came to accompany change in companies. Looking back, this path almost came naturally.
Back in the 90s, I was one of the first trainers and consultants in the German-speaking who organized outdoor training courses for companies. The aim was to make collaboration more effective and successful.
Early on, I worked with managers and teams from a wide range of industries - from start-ups to medium-sized family businesses and international corporations. The managers with whom I traveled on the mountain appreciated me as a conversation partner and invited me into their companies. There I was able to help resolve difficult and emotional situations more quickly and sustainably.
The direct contact with people from different cultures made a lasting impression on me and changed my way of working in a positive way. My openness, directness and unconventional approaches were appreciated by my clients and inspired them. This is how I developed - supported by numerous further training courses - from an external outdoor trainer to a dialog and reflection partner for managers and teams in change processes.
Professional career & formative experiences
My professional career has been characterized by a variety of stages and learning processes:
These different experiences expanded my professional foundations and enriched
my approach to change processes.
International experience
My path also took me beyond Austria:
All of these stages shaped my view of change, leadership and personal development - and they are the basis of my work with companies and managers today.
It takes courage and sensitivity to let oneself in on the human side and the day-to-day issues – these are the sources of the everyday creation of value, mostly through a simple and joyful togetherness.
