Leadership Development Strategist | Senior Soft Skills Trainer | Integrative Coach | PCM® Trainer & Coach | Human Growth Architect
I am involved in self-awareness-based development. Believe that people perform well when they understand how they function, what motivates them, aware of their strengths, and work on areas for improvement. As a trainer, coach, communication and development specialist, I help people translate their inner clarity into external results. My background in engineering and my professional and managerial experience in telecommunications, sales, media, and finance provide an excellent foundation for this. Change does not start from the outside, but from within.
I started out as a transportation engineer, and today I am a senior trainer, coach, and consultant. On the path that led me here, I worked in telecommunications, was a salesperson, dealt with easier and more difficult clients, and led teams of varying sizes. After completing a second degree in communications, I immersed myself in the depths and heights of the media and entertainment industry, while also writing a book. Human development later lured me back to the world of telecommunications, and then the world of financial services led me to the international stage. My diverse professional experience has been accompanied by a profound process of self-discovery through psychodrama, coaching, individual therapy, and continuous learning. My wife, daughter, and son accompany me on this professional and self-discovery „El Camino”, filling me with energy every day and even showing me a loving mirror that helps me become better and better.
Salesperson, sales manager, editor-in-chief, reporter, training and development manager, communications expert. As a trainer, consultant, and coach, the experience I have gained in these areas always comes in handy. I understand the challenges that arise when we are faced with a client. I know how difficult it is as a manager to simultaneously boost motivation and achieve goals. I understand the difficulties of communication when we don't understand each other, even though we speak the same language.
Charlie Chaplin said, "A day without laughter is a day wasted." Albert Einstein believed that doing the same thing every day and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Nelson Mandela once said, "I never lose, because I either win or learn." Many people have had a minor or major influence on me, but these three ideas fundamentally define not only my professional outlook, but my entire life. It is wonderful to help everyone follow their own path, overcome their obstacles, and then find meaning in their own lives. And why shouldn't this be accompanied by exciting connections, mutual inspiration, and joy?
In addition to manufacturing, telecommunications, media, and communications, I have also had the opportunity to participate in many projects in the financial sector.
We have numerous tools and experiences at our disposal, but the most important thing is connection. In self-awareness-based development, my job is to accompany the other person as an equal partner. Active listening, creating a safe environment for development, joint creation, in which we build together the personalized development path that is needed. Then we walk that path together.
As a trainer, coach, and consultant, I have primarily worked in leadership development, collaborating with middle and senior managers, but I have also often worked with teams of salespeople and customer service representatives, as well as engineers, IT specialists, and experts. In life and business coaching, we have completed hundreds of hours of sessions with store managers working in retail and individuals seeking to overcome obstacles in their personal lives.
I have degrees in transportation engineering (international freight forwarding) and communications. I studied journalism and television and radio program production. After completing my trainer-consultant training, I became an advanced integrative life and business coach. I obtained international certification as an expert in the DISC behavioral typology and PCM communication model, which I can use as a trainer and coach.
