I help you stop circling and start shaping your next step with clarity and structure.
19+ years navigating complex career shifts. People development and growth are the most valuable KPIs an organization can have, yet are often considered unmeasurable. Leaders are challenged with constant disruption and uncertainty, fast-paced decision making, managing remote and hybrid teams, virtual onboarding,
and maintaining and building agile structures for future team projects while trying to thrive through complexities. Behind each of these challenges to be conquered, are people – the best definition of diversity. People with their human touch; their own cultures, backgrounds, skills, talents, careers, and experiences. People who represent much more than job titles and job functions. These people make your organization run smoothly. And they are the ones who not only need, but deserve, coaching. Professional development coaching is more than finding a solution to an assumed problem. It is a process that requires an integral mix of empathy and analysis which leads to personal discovery about the true nature behind an issue, reason, or goal – and the results can be measured. I am Violetta, the coach who is interested in the person behind a job function, behind a culture, and behind behavior. I am the highly trained certified professional development coach who stays current with the best training and certifications to best serve global organizations (my clients) in retaining highly satisfied exceptional leaders and teams. A lingua franca, mostly English, is just one basic aspect of constructive communication for these teams. It’s imperative that cultural diversity and sensitivity are incorporated into your business landscape. The past few years have amplified how significant it is to implement the aspects of overcoming biases and building empathy in the hybrid workspace. I am a multicultural and multilingual mix myself, and have the experience, expertise, analytical style, and empathy to build bridges between people with different nationalities, identities, and diverse perspectives. Happiness is the new productivity; it’s not a trend, it’s reality. Professional development coaching is how international organizations can attract, retain, and engage exceptional leaders so the company thrives through its complexities. Let me ignite or rekindle strong teamwork, agility, and positivity to create a greater impact in your organization. My coaching programs are customized to fit your unique needs and are conducted in English and German. COACHING: EMPOWERMENT | GROWTH | ACHIEVEMENT | FULFILLMENT
Find the invisible potential | Turn frustration into action | Rekindle employee talent | Use team diversity to your advantage | Learn to be YOU in your function
It was my first job in the corporate world that opened my eyes to my true passion – coaching and professional development. I was hired to train the company owner. Shortly after, he confided in me his personal challenges, and he trusted me from the start. At that moment, I knew this is what I really loved to do. My biggest thrill is being a sounding board for my clients, and watching them grow and develop, both personally and in their work life. I love pushing them to use what they already have inside to help figure out what will truly bring satisfaction in their life and in work. If you have a solid company, a great product offering, the right people and teams in place – yet something isn’t quite right, then I can help. People who were once open to change can become resistant to it, high-performing teams that were can become complacent, and can either cause careers that were thriving to become dormant or for a company’s bottom line to suffer. I have the ability to embolden people to embrace their innate gifts and to ignite more teamwork, agility, and positivity at work. In my coaching, I emphasize the importance of uniting energy, professionalism, and vision to create greater impact in the workplace – because happiness is the new productivity. All coaching programs will be custom-tailored to address your unique needs (e.g. exec-assistant teams, woman-centric, entrepreneurs):
• One-on-One Executive Coaching
• 7 Steps to a More Fulfilling Career
• Own Your Career Ambition
• Team Up and Succeed
The business impact of fully engaged employees includes lower turnover, higher productivity, happier customers, and increased revenue. I will help you capitalize on individual and collective (“invisible/uncovered”) potential and bring it to bear to benefit your organization. TRAINING IN CULTURE | COMMUNICATION | LANGUAGE
The increasing global interconnectedness requires not only for your team to have language and communication skills, but that these skills are built on a solid foundation of respect for cultural diversity. You are a global player with international business partners and need to integrate skilled specialists from abroad. It’s imperative that cultural diversity and customs sensitivity be incorporated into your business landscape; team members must be able to demonstrate intercultural strengths in a wide variety of situations while communicating clearly and concisely. The training examples I’ve listed below are representative of all the trainings in my portfolio – and every training I give is customized to your unique needs. Training – Expats Working in Germany
You want to ensure that your international specialists will feel welcomed and comfortable working in your company. Their professional (and personal) success becomes your business’ success. My trainings go further than traditional “German as a Foreign Language” classes. Your team members will learn various modes of communication while gaining an understanding of German culture and everyday life.
• Intercultural Communication
• German as a Foreign Language
Training – English for Specific Purposes
Your bridge to a global business world…
In domestic as well as international business the same principle applies: In order to establish a strong connection between corporate partners, it is imperative that all stakeholders speak the same “language.” The increasing global interconnectedness requires skill and confidence on all team levels when dealing with cultural diversity. That’s why I customize my language, communication, and culture trainings exactly according to your company’s needs.

• E-Mails
• Socializing and Small Talk

• Presentations (with a global perspective)
