My Coaching Story

In November 2012, I began my first role as a Scrum Master which ignited my interest in developing my coaching skills. I started reading up about it and attending the local Berlin meet-ups, like Scrumtisch. I grew iteratively. First I realised that in order to support my Product Owners, I needed to learn more about the role, so I pursued my CSPO in April 2014. I couldn't understand why people were so resistant to and defensive about change. I knew that Agile was about changing the mindset and decided to enroll in the Advanced Team Coaching Course with agile42. I learned new approaches which enabled me to help teams grow, for example by raising awareness of others perspectives. I also  realised that without alignment on where to go, it was difficult to really change. I worked for TomTom and for Rocket Internet before joining agile42 in 2016, where I stayed until May 2021. During my time with agile42 I worked for corporations and startups from a range of  sectors in 8 countries. I learned several scaled agile frameworks (LeSS, Nexus, SAFe), I studied different branches of coaching  (Co-Active Coaching, ORSC, Energy Leadership, Ontological coaching) and approaches for achieving organisational resilience such as ORGANIC-Agility. I also achieved the  Certified Team Coach (CTC) credential awarded by the Scrum Alliance In 2021 I started working as independent. Since then I became part of BetterChange Fellowship, which is a group in which we are all supporting each other, sharing PI, teaching each other and growing together. Being based in Berlin, my working scope includes not only Germany and surroundings, but also I have clients in Spain, India, Chile. Mexico and Puerto Rico. In 2022 I became part of the Agile Coaches Alliance. In January 2023 I became Business Ontological Coach by ECORE (Rafael Echeverria School). In 2024 I became ICAgile accredited instructor. Nowadays I support organisations and teams to become more resilient by helping them to discover how to self-assess, create strategy and execute on it. I do this by focusing on: - bringing together silos of work to produce value. - enhance leadership capabilities. Currently I am writing a book about and I ambition to be one important factor in introducing ontological coaching in Central Europe.
