The entrepreneur

You could say I “grew up professionally” with the advancement of women. Whether as a student equal opportunity officer, re-entry advisor or volunteer participant in the working group “Denkwerkstatt zur Karriereentwicklung von Frauen in der Region Aachen” (think tank for career development of women in the Aachen region), during my professional life I have always been able to support women in their goals. So it’s no surprise that I found my calling as a Female Empowerment & Business Coach.

Spontaneity is always in demand in business and sometimes an advantage. However, when I have the opportunity, I always work with lists of all kinds. Whether checklists, shopping lists, to-do lists, multiple calendars or workout plans – without lists I feel unstructured.

Many a one knows the eternal curse that the mind never comes to a standstill. For this reason, I not only have a whiteboard for my business ideas, on which spontaneous thoughts are immediately written down (and sometimes painted), but also a business vision board. This is always changed, expanded or completely renewed – the main thing is that the thoughts are manifested through visualization.

I waited 8 years to successfully complete my training as a systemic coach at the Institute of Applied Psychology. I have always been interested in psychology, even though I chose to study German & Political Science. However, the wish remained and came true. My education has been one of the best professional decisions so far. It not only changed my own life, but also laid the foundation for my self-employment.

I am the managing director of UnternehmerRebellen. Together with my partner, I founded this company with the intention of revolutionizing the world of work. We want to make organizational development a central issue, because increased sick days, dissatisfied employees and “annual appraisal interviews” are a thorn in our side. We stand for efficiency, personal development and joint success – as a partner at eye level and not as a service provider.

I love getting in front of people and inspiring them through workshops, speaking engagements, or participating in a panel discussion. What many do not know: I am always enormously excited before my “appearances”. I have very high expectations of myself and always want to give my best, so I always do some breathing exercises before such performances. These help me to get back to my message and step back from the inner ego.

Every woman, whether self-employed or not, should have a vision to carry her through life (and her business). My vision is that all girls and women, no matter where they were born, no matter what their religion or skin color, have the opportunity to find their personal and professional happiness through coaching and training. For this purpose, I would like to create a network of power women for whom “female empowerment” has a forward-looking meaning.
