As an accredited executive coach, I'm passionate about helping people reach their potential and have extensive experience working with managers and professionals from many different countries around the world. In my work I help individuals explore their current career challenges, and so reflect, strategize, and plan their future career path. Through personalised 1-to-1 career coaching, I help my clients articulate their own unique value proposition, prepare for interview and selection processes, and and accompany them as they take on new roles and challenges. As part of this, I am a career strategist for IMD's Executive MBA Program and previously worked as a Career Coach for Von Rohr & Associates, a leading Swiss outplacement company. Key skills: Resume Writing, Executive Coaching, Interview Preparation, Personal Branding, and Career Development Coaching
