Unlocking strengths - The unique path to success

Supporting individuals and teams to discover their inherent strengths and apply them for greater performance.

The strengths approach

“If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live his whole life believing that it is stupid”

We are all unique. Everyone of us has inherent strengths that make us who we are. Knowing, appreciating and acting through those strengths makes us feel energized and “in flow”.

What if we found out what we are really good at and live that version of us, instead of trying to fix perceived weaknesses, fulfilling external expectations or living someone else's life?

Discovering your strengths through the CliftonStrengths® Assessment with your team or as a whole organization can give you a new sense of purpose and belonging, as well as unknown appreciation and collaboration among team members - and ultimately higher life satisfaction. And I am here to guide you on this journey.

 

Providing you with a safe space to explore your strengths

I am here to guide you through this journey of discovering, appreciating and applying your strengths - in personal / virtual 1:1 coaching sessions, workshops and trainings with your team or through inspirational keynotes for your organization, in German or English, always tailored to your needs!

    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.”

  • “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
