Career Coaching in Munich
For Career (Re)Orientation
be YOU:
Find a job you love –
and deserve
So that your career suits you again.
Coaching provides the space and focus you need to envision your next career step on your own terms: not out of frustration, not out of fear, and not out of expectations.
When your job no longer feels like you.
You’ve grown into your career—through training, a decision, or an opportunity that felt right. Maybe over the course of years, maybe over decades. But today, what you’re doing feels different than it used to. Something inside you—or something about the job—has shifted—and the role you’re playing isn’t quite your own anymore.
Sometimes it’s the job itself. A reorganization has changed your responsibilities, a new boss has shifted the atmosphere, or you’ve been doing something for years that you’re really just managing now. What used to drive you is now routine.
Sometimes it’s you. You’re not the same person you were ten years ago—your values have become more defined, your priorities have shifted, and what used to fulfill you no longer does. The job suits the person you once were, not the person you are today.
Often, it’s both. And the result is the same: you keep going through the motions, but you lack energy in the morning. During phases when things should actually be going well, you think: “This isn’t really who I am.”
Yet you know deep down: there is a job, an environment, a kind of work that suits you. You just haven’t found it yet—or you’ve lost sight of it in your day-to-day life.
The Questions Behind Your Anxiety.
A career change rarely begins with a clear plan, but rather with a few questions that eventually refuse to disappear:
- What do I truly enjoy about my job?
- What are my strengths that I’d like to use every day?
- What values are important to me, and do I want to express them in my job?
- What do I really dislike doing, which makes me feel stressed?
- What conditions do I need for my day-to-day (professional) life?
- Which company and which team culture are a good fit for me?
Wenn Sie hier merken, dass Sie auf einige Fragen klare Antworten haben – auf andere aber nicht – ist das schon ein Hinweis. Schwierig wird es meist nicht beim „Was möchte ich nicht mehr?”, sondern beim „Was wäre stattdessen das Richtige?” Und vor allem: Welche Punkte sind Must-haves, welche verhandelbar?
If you realize that you have clear answers to some of these questions—but not to others—that’s already a clue. The challenge usually isn’t determining “what I no longer want,” but rather “what would be the right choice instead?” And above all: Which points are non-negotiable, and which are flexible?
If you recognize yourself in these questions, it’s worth scheduling an initial conversation. During a free Discovery Call, we’ll explore together where you stand—and whether my guidance is a good fit for you.
You can find some initial answers on your own.
Before you start with coaching, you can get closer to your own answers. The Career Anchors self-assessment shows you what motivates you professionally—security, autonomy, meaning, technical expertise, or something else. It’s a first step toward answering the question, “What’s right for me?”
The assessment isn’t a substitute for coaching—but it’s a good starting point. Many clients bring their results to their first session and use them as a starting point.
What Happens in Career Coaching.
Career reorientation isn’t about job application tips; it’s about self-awareness. If you know what suits you, you’ll find it. If you don’t know, you’ll just bounce from one half-suitable job to the next.
In coaching, we bring three things to the surface that often get lost in everyday life:
Values. What needs to be a priority in your career so that you don’t compromise who you are? Security, autonomy, purpose, recognition, creativity—every person has a different mix. If a job doesn’t reflect your core values, it will feel uncomfortable in the long run, even if it’s objectively “good.”
Strengths. What comes easily to you—not because it’s simple, but because it suits you? These natural strengths are often so second nature that you overlook them. We bring them to the surface so you know what gets you out of bed in the morning—and so you can use them right away in your resume and job interview.
Beliefs. What ideas about “real work” do you still carry with you that no longer reflect who you are? Some career expectations originate from your upbringing, from your first career decision, or from a time when security was everything. We examine them and ask honestly: Do they still hold true today?
If reaching a final decision is difficult, we also use systemic constellations to incorporate your gut feeling—this brings the carousel of thoughts to a halt.
Scientifically-based tools.
Upon request, I use two established analytical methods that complement the coaching process with an objective outside perspective:
Profile Dynamics reveals your value preferences and shows which work environments suit you best.
LINC Personality Profiler analyzes your personality, your strengths, and suitable career fields—a well-founded external perspective that you can compare with your own perception.
Both methods enhance your self-awareness—and support you, even after coaching, in making decisions based on your own profile.
What emerges—A job that feels right for you.
What coachees take away from the process: In the end, they don’t walk away with a job posting, but with something more important: a clearer picture of what kind of work suits them. They know what truly inspires them, in what kind of environment they thrive, which tasks they can handle—and which ones wear them down over time.
They know which factors are non-negotiable for them and which are flexible. They have the language to describe their strengths, which they can use directly in their resumes and during job interviews. And they have questions they can use in interviews to assess the company culture before signing on the dotted line.
Above all, they have a clearer picture of who they want to be in their careers—and how that relates to who they truly are.
This page is part of the “Be YOU – (Re)discovering Yourself” section.
If you’re still unsure whether your question relates more to your leadership role, a career change, or a broader phase of life, you’ll find an overview there.
Frequently Asked Questions about career coaching
Who is career coaching suitable for?
For people who feel that their career no longer suits them—whether after a major life change, after years in the same position, or simply because they never consciously chose what they do. Also for people on the verge of a career change who are seeking clarity about the right direction to take.
How does your career coaching work?
We start with a free discovery call. This leads to a personalized process—typically six to eight sessions, either in Munich or online. The starting point isn’t your resume, but rather what drives you, what holds you back, and what matters to you.
What methods do you use in career coaching?
Systemic coaching forms the foundation. In addition, I use Profile Dynamics® for values analysis, the LINC Personality Profiler, and Positive Intelligence® – depending on what your specific situation requires.
What is the difference between career coaching and job application counseling?
Career coaching starts one step earlier: not with your resume, but with the question of which path is right for you. Only once that’s clear does it make sense to start preparing specifically for an application or negotiation.
Let’s talk about it.
During a free 30-minute discovery call, we can get to know each other with no obligation. You’ll describe your situation, and I’ll give you an initial idea of whether and how I can support you on your career path.
