What I actually did for them.

radancy

Started at their offsite with stress management. Stayed a year, through communication, ownership and leadership.

11 workshops, 2 to 3 hours each, online · NVC · Radical Candor · Germany & Austria

Women @Google

Organized for women at Google. Twelve of them on a tennis court, learning something new and building resilience in practice, then working with a workbook to analyse it and turn it into concrete actions.

3h workshop · Munich

A remote team defined the values it wanted to work by, then built trust on top of them.

Offsite · open to change in a VUCA world · international, fully remote

Which areas can I work on with your team?

Communication
NVC and Radical Candor, practised on your team's real cases, not on paper.
Ownership
Your team stops waiting for permission. Your managers stop solving everything themselves.
Resilience & adaptability
Trainable skills. Fewer sick days, less burnout, fewer people to replace.
Trust
Remote work and constant change make trust harder. The real conversations are what rebuild it.

Europe has the lowest engagement in the world, at 12 percent.

I talk to HR directors, managers and team members every week. They describe the same problem from three different chairs.
Sound familiar?
What the team says
"I sit in meetings all day. I do my actual work in the evening."
"Something changes every few months. I've stopped listening."
What the manager says
"My team brings me problems. Never solutions."
"I've got more people to look after than ever, and half my week is admin. When am I supposed to lead?"
What HR says
"Our engagement survey came back low. Now I have to do something with it."
"Every person who quits costs us months and a lot of money to replace."

Gallup asked the whole world this year. Europe came last, at 12 percent. Whatever your number is, it is not a verdict on you.

A score tells you something is wrong. It does not tell you what to do on Monday.

So I come and talk to your team, one by one, where people say the things they would never write in a form with their name on it. Then I help them turn it into a plan they feel part of.

How I work

You do not learn a forehand from a book. You learn it standing on the court, hitting balls badly until they get better.

Communication and ownership work exactly the same way. Nobody gets better at them by listening to someone explain them. You get better by talking and doing, on your own real cases.

So I ask what your team is dealing with before I build anything. Everyone gets their own workbook, so they can be brutally honest without having to share it. And people leave with accountability buddies, because what gets practised after the session is what actually sticks.

What people wrote afterwards, anonymously

“A mix of both theory and context, together with exercises and role plays and practical tips to apply it makes it easily digestible.”

“I found it extremely valuable to realize that I am not alone in facing certain challenges.”

Why me.

I played tennis professionally until I was 16. That is where I learned the thing I still work from: nobody performs at their best by being told what to do. They get there by practising under pressure, with someone watching who tells them the truth.

Your team is doing the same thing, in meetings instead of matches.

Then six years inside international companies, until I burned out and had to rebuild. I have been an expat for ten years and I coach in four languages, which helps with cultural differences more than any theory does.
