Transformation capacity in universities and science organisations begins with leadership.
With leaders operating in environments shaped by uncertainty, competing expectations and limited resources. Strategic change is as complex as it is contested, especially in expert organisations, which need high degrees of autonomy to innovate.
Sustaining transformation under these conditions requires more than smart strategic vision and development. It requires resilient leadership and reflective agency, of indivudal leaders and their teams.
At the same time, leadership itself becomes more visible and more exposed.
Responding with clarity, confidence and perspective is both a professional and a personal challenge.
I support you in meeting this challenge. My coaching offers leaders a structured process and space to reflect and recalibrate, strengthening your clarity, courage, resilience and agency.
As a strategy development expert, change management consultant and former Chancellor (COO/CFO) of a large German research university, I have accompanied complex transformation processes across all institutional missions.
My coaching is reflective and grounded, anchored in real institutional contexts, system constraints, decision-making environments and power structures.
