Testimonials

«When I approached Meike, I was in a difficult position. I had successfully completed my art studies. I didn’t want to give up my artistic career, but I needed financial security and independence. She opened my eyes to new perspectives and gave me back confidence and curiosity about all the different options the job market has to offer someone with a painting diploma. Her mix of empathy and determination gave me strength and ease. I learned a strategic approach from Meike that has helped me deal with situations I perceive as difficult or uncomfortable. I had the feeling from the first conversation that I could trust her. Therefore, it was not difficult for me to rely on the conversation management techniques and the confident, goal-oriented mindset she gave me. I am convinced that the process she accompanied me through has shaped me in a positive sense for the rest of my life and that I will still use techniques I learned during the coaching often – whether consciously or unconsciously. Now I am at a point where I would never have dreamed of being at the beginning of the coaching. I have come so far because of the clear, smart way of talking! It has given me enormous self-confidence. Even if I am excited before the „next step“. Before the coaching I felt like I was being crushed by my life situation. Now I feel like I have the reins in my own hands. I can again determine for myself where the journey is going. Thank you!»

«My problem was that my performance and the responsibilities I assumed were not sufficiently seen and valued. I wanted to be seen in my role despite the unnecessary hierarchy and organisational structure that I was stuck in. Meike gave me a different perspective on my situation and taught me strategies and ways to change my own attitude, as well as the attitude of the people around me. This enabled me to change things fundamentally and in my favour. Eventually, a personnel change in the team came about, which I was able to use for myself. The cooperation with Meike was very constructive, strengthened my self-confidence, and enabled me to take a different perspective on my sitautation. Meike is a highly competent coach and helped me to realise the mistakes I made and to bring about a change in my attitude. It was great to see how much you can change through this and how you can even change the attitude of other people towards you. In the end, I became a team leader which now allows me to have more of an impact and to assume more responsibility.»

«I found myself in a very difficult situation with my superiors and Meike supported me mentally and taught me how to negotiate effectively to solve my problem. With Meike, I was able to achieve my goal and changed my professional life for the better.»

«I have been working with Meike for years and truly appreciate her professionalism. She guides me in my personal and professional development and is a very talented mentor. I love to develop and align my personal growth with my performance expectations. I kept encountering hurdles in my work that I attributed to external causes. Meike showed me how to identify professional obstacles, think differently, and to find ways to solve or work around them in order to continuously develop. Often, limitations at work do not come from the outside, but from within – for example through the way we manage stress and anxiety, or the way we react to certain situations. Now I know and use techniques that make my work much easier and enjoyable. For me, it was also about regaining an inner self-confidence in order to be able to react confidently in any situation. Today, I can judge situations much more confidently and I can do things that I would not have thought I could do before. Meike is the right person when it comes to solving one’s own problems and to understand and even influence other people’s behaviours. She works analytically and uses emotionally intelligent techniques. A lot has changed for me since I started working with Meike. I have managed to exceed the goals I have set for myself.»
