Coaching for Leaders & Teams
HR Consulting for Start-ups & SMEs

Bilingual: English & German

Services I offer

My coaching services are aimed equally at companies with German-speaking and international employees.

In HR consulting, my focus is on start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises – especially during times of change.

    Individual Coaching for Leaders

    Development begins with self-reflection. I enjoy supporting experienced and aspiring leaders in developing their own leadership style, effectively leading teams, and making confident decisions — in German or English, on-site or online.

Change with perspective

As the world of work has become more complex, it is crucial to balance different perspectives: leadership and teams, structure and movement, strategy and empathy.

In my work, I support people and organisations in consciously achieving this balance.

What my clients say

  • “Even though I only had a few sessions with Ulrike, they had a lasting impact on me. She helped me find answers to even the most abstract or complex questions—with great sensitivity, clarity, and without any pressure. From the very beginning, I felt able to be completely open and to share personal matters. One thing that will stay with me is her question about how my perfectionism feels to me; in my response, an image came to mind—a peacock constantly displaying its magnificent feathers. That metaphor has accompanied me ever since, along with the permission to let the peacock rest now and then. Ulrike’s work continues to resonate well beyond our conversations. I'm truly grateful for the experience.”

    — Christina Mokoru, HR Software Expert & CEO

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ulrike as my professional coach, and I can confidently say she brings immense value to every session. She has a real talent for asking powerful questions that challenge your thinking, offering insights that are both clear and actionable. Her approach is thoughtful, supportive, and grounded in proven coaching techniques that create space for real growth.  Ulrike does a great job of complimenting each session with the next in a way that feels iterative and productive.   I’ve benefited greatly from her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking to gain clarity, navigate complexity, or grow as a leader.”

    — Adam Ellis, CEO

  • “Ulrike’s coaching style helped me organize the chaos in my head, working out clear points and priorities. Through this process, I became aware of the truly important considerations needed to reach a decision that is tailor-made for me—one that feels right both objectively and subjectively. Ulrike guided the process with pointed questions that offer a bird’s-eye view, helping me see the forest despite the many trees. Absolutely recommended!”

    — Andreas Prokesch, University Professor
