REHUMANIZING* the way we work

Through tailored workshops, trainings, online programs and keynotes, I support you to enhance work engagement, team collaboration and overall satisfaction.

We are all HUMANS*

We are humans first - workers, colleagues, bosses, experts second. We are humans with sensitive nervous systems, not heartless production robots.

Organizations are human ecosystems, where people collaborate, make decisions, and drive change. And these humans usually don’t leave their personality, emotions, problems at the door when they come to work.

With rising disengagement and burnout rates, there’s a pervasive dissatisfaction, a gap between employee needs and workplace realities. Often a frustration about how work is done, how people feel seen, heard and included. We, as humans, have the inner desire to be seen for who we are. We want to be heard, to be treated with respect, have freedom and belong.

We all face the same internal conflict - the need to fit in and the need to stand out.” - Ella Washington, organizational psychologist

What if we could play to both of these needs? What if we could create work environments where we can bring out the best in people, where we get rid of the energy suckers and boost engagement again?

If we can tap into our human joint experience we can lift spirits and engagement at work, enhance collaboration & communication amongst colleagues, increase job satisfaction and ultimately performance. And who wouldn’t want that?

SERVICES

On a mission to REHUMANIZE* the way we work

Strengths

By setting a strong foundation of trust, mutual understanding, transparency and appreciation, the strengths approach is a wonderful tool to dive into with your team. Implemented as part of your overall people culture or as a team building exercise during an offsite or retreat - strengths workshops have a great impact on team satisfaction, performance and engagement.

Unlocking our unique and collective strengths

Facilitation

Enhancing how we work together, make decisions and get things done

Empowering teams to navigate complex challenges and achieve their goals seamlessly, facilitation and moderation training equips individuals with essential skills to orchestrate productive group interactions. As trained facilitators, your team members will be able to foster an environment where every voice is heard, decisions are made effectively, and tangible outcomes are consistently achieved.

Talks & Keynotes

Inspiring mindset shifts, gaining new perspectives

Sometimes it just needs a little nudge, a new perspective, a first mindset shift to kick off positive change. Through storytelling, sharing real world examples and anecdotes, I have been able in the past to capture my audiences in my keynotes and inspirational talks, be it during an official company event, lunch & learn or webinar series. My talks focus on my mission to REHUMANIZE* the way we work with tailor-made adaptations depending on your needs.

HOW TO ENGAGE

How we can work TOGETHER*

Understand

All my offers are tailor made to your specific needs. I will engage with you upfront to fully understand your current situation, your goals, values and team culture. For me it is important to not just understand what you want to achieve - what your people should learn or take away, but also how you want to make them feel (as HUMANS* :).

Create

Drawing from our in-depth conversations and understanding of your unique needs, I will craft a customized solution tailored specifically to your wishes. I will always reconfirm any assumptions or changes with you to make sure we make the most of our time together.

Fulfill

And then, it's time to put it into action. I will bring the agreed-upon training sessions or workshops to life, ensuring that each session is engaging, informative, and aligned with your objectives. My goal is to empower you and your team to achieve your desired outcomes and foster a positive, lasting impact on your organization.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Why choose this HUMAN*?

MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE

My work distinguishes itself from traditional training and workshop offers and trainers by offering custom-made solutions that are in line with your values and culture and based on the current state of awareness and experience of the addressed topics amongst your participants.

SAFE, INTERACTIVE, APPLICABLE

My focus is on creating a safe space for dialogue and exploration, and designing a highly interactive and experiential learning process infused with topical exercises and examples based on the everyday experiences of your participants. They will leave the room with new perspectives and insights that they can immediately apply in their work and life.

ONE OF YOU

With my professional background in business and management consulting, I can relate to the environment and everyday challenges your organization might face and can weave that into the nuances of the engagement and delivery.

  • “What an empowering journey we had!

    The beauty of the strengths approach is that it's so positive to focus on our strengths instead of our weaknesses and discover how we can maximize impact that way.”

    — Workshop participant, Advance - gender equality in business

  • “Nele's coaching is guided by questions that let me discover the wealth of strengths I have within myself. She has helped me understand why some things come so easily to me. Through her systematic guidance, I now know how to use those strengths for things I have always found challenging.

    Nele's approach is built on a sound psychological foundation; it is her attentive listening and empathetic speaking that add unique value.”

    — Vincenzo Parisi, Organizational consultant, wibas

  • “This was one of the best programs I have attended at MSD/Merck, if not ALL TIME!

    Incredible!”

    — Participant, MSD women's network

  • “I gained a lot from the sessions with Nele - in particular: tools to shape my reflection about who I am, who I could be and what I want. Thanks to her guidance, I developed a deeper understanding of what moves me and what might trigger some insecurities. I took all those learnings and tools and I now try to apply them as a team leader. I’ve been officially promoted and I use what I learned everyday: to acknowledge the people I lead, their strengths, their needs, and to find ways to be me while empowering them.”

    — Laureline, Team Leader in a middle-sized company

  • "The strengths coaching with Nele has helped me personally and also us as a founding team of a start-up very much. We now not only know how to use our own strengths, but also understand each other much better. This helps us in our daily business. Nele supported us with her professional and caring manner. The exchange with her and also Nele's exercises were very enriching - we can only recommend the format!"

    — Shireen, Co-Founder of a sustainability start-up

  • “Nele is a natural when it comes to moderating any event. For the 50 anniversary of our alumni community, Nele hosted our hybrid event with over 400 participants in the most engaging and charmful way. With her authentic, smart and funny nature, she lifted the session to the next level. Add to this the fact that she is super easy to work with and you have your perfect moderator.”

    — Christian Sutter, ISC Alumni President

  • “I enjoyed the strengths coaching session with Nele. Through her open questions, I was able to self-reflect and get insights on how I could best use my strengths in my professional and personal life. I became also aware that my strengths profile, which i considered "normal" (in the sense, that all people have them), are actually unique. During the session, I did not feel judged and felt the sincere interest from Nele to coach me.”

    — Rebecca, Manager at a medical device company

  • "The coaching with Nele was of indescribable value to me! Thanks to her, I achieved in a short time what would have taken me at least three years on my own. Each of our sessions together had a long-lasting effect in the most positive sense, because each time I took away valuable insights and food for thought and experienced many key moments on my way to understanding my talents, values and purpose."

    — Lena, Digital Brand Manager
