Hello! I provide consulting and coaching focused on leadership, intercultural effectiveness, and transformation/change adoption. My approach combines self reflection, situational analysis, systems/holistic perspective taking with science and social insights to help you become more effective as a communicator, decision maker and leader. Sessions can either be one-on-one or for teams depending on what your goals and needs are. My career before becoming a coach was in senior management roles at organisations going through significant organisational change. This included setting strategy, operations and systems design, oversight of finance, compliance, legal as well as people management. So if you are looking for a coach who knows what it's like to have to make the tough calls, gaining stakeholder buy in and the emotional strain of maintaining the course of change, reach out for a no obligations introductory session!!

Franziska
Hamburg, Germany
Languages: English, German

As a Professional Life and Executive Coach with 8 years of experience I help my clients create perspective around their personal and professional life. We typically work on goal setting, creating awareness around beliefs, needs and skills and on clear communication as a tool to achieve desired outsomes. In this process of creating awareness we are looking at what is really important for them in a given circumstance or phase of their life in order to be able to move into the desired direction. Coaching is a journey to the core, to your values and beliefs. It brings clarity into your life and helps to highlight fresh possibilities, to release your potential and to set new boundaries where necessary. For me it's an energetic way of personal and professional growth and empowerment that you and those close to you will benefit from.  My clients say that I have a focused and accepting presence in which they feel comfortable to openly explore the different perspectives of their thinking. They feel encouraged to invite new experiences into their thinking and life as well as into making authentic decisions that will enable them to move forwards.  I feel deeply grateful to be an active listener to my client’s life stories and to be their partner on a journey of transformation.

It's curious isn't it? How some leaders just seem to 'know' themselves, have time and space to think, and be able to motivate and take their people along with them. All this, plus be out there having a real impact in the world - even during these times. You want that too, but you don't know how, and you certainly can't carve out the time to focus on it. Want to fix this? You are either a senior leader with a great track record who wants to step up and lead effectively through these challenging times, or an HR Director/Head of L&D who wants to invest in your people. Work with me to develop yourself or your people to be more: resilient, strategic, empathetic, adaptable, influential, and create a hybrid culture of trust. Previous clients include established SME founders, senior professionals and C-level executives in large multinational companies such as Ford, Nestle, Curtis Brown, Costain, and Generali. I've won multiple awards for EQ-focused coaching work, and am a published author of EQ leadership book 'Soft Skills Hard Results' and personal development book 'Change Your Life in 5'. I'm part of a team that recently launched the podcast ChangeMakers, which has already been downloaded in twenty eight countries. I believe when leaders are emotionally intelligent, they and their people are happier and more fulfilled, and get better results for themselves, their teams and their organisations. A few options of working with me: * EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Lunch & Learns and Masterclasses: Resilience | Difficult Conversations | Listening Skills | Empathy | Emotional Literacy | Coaching Skills | bespoke subjects * EQ Leadership Formula Programmes: bespoke emotional intelligence group and team programmes - for increased self-insight, influence, and impact. * Conscious Leader: 1-1 EQ executive coaching programme for high-performing leaders and established founders - to increase self-insight, influence, and impact.

I help technical SMEs, HSPs, & other Gifted Outliers* step into leadership by expanding their awareness of themselves, their stakeholders, & their impact. My early career experience in marketing for late-stage tech start-ups brought me to the UK in the '90s. While there I transitioned into private consulting with larger, more established European tech companies, undertook extensive personal and professional development, then returned to the US and trained as a coach to put that development work to good use. I now work across the US, Europe, and into Asia, often with emerging leaders and high potentials in industries ranging from consumer goods, media, professional services, manufacturing, life sciences, financial, and of course technology, to the arts, in organizations of all sizes from start-ups and early-stage companies and initiatives, through mid-sized to some of the largest global corporations. I am particularly drawn to innovators and thought leaders. I live between the east and west coasts of the US and the UK. *I define Gifted Outliers as people in non-traditional roles and with non-traditional backgrounds, whether that's physiological or psychological, so for instance engineers and tech-oriented folks with strong but unvalued people-management skills; women in male-dominated environments; people of color; highly sensitive people (www.hsperson.com) and other leaders, whether they are recognized as such or not. I help these folks to find their voice around their unique strengths, then use that voice to help others in their organizations understand and leverage the value they bring.

“We know the world only through the window of our mind. When our mind is noisy, the world is as well. And when our mind is peaceful, the world is, too. Knowing our minds is just as important as trying to change the world.” ― Haemin Sunim Sam is an international coach with over 14 years of leadership and coaching experience in corporate and startup settings (recently at Google). He is a global citizen: he has lived in 10 countries (Philippines, Jordan, Italy, United States, Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, United Kingdom) and is proficient/conversational in the languages of these respective countries. This gives Sam a natural ability and passion for helping people of diverse backgrounds navigate and thrive in our ever-changing world. Sam has conducted over 2000 coaching sessions for executives from major global companies (including Google, Uber, Bloomberg, McKinsey, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, HSBC, Financial Times, New York Times, State Street, Latham & Watkins), as well as leaders from startups and small businesses. He is a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) with the International Coaching Federation and a Senior Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Sam was also Chief Growth Officer for 6 years at a leading international coach training company (Transcend International), where he gained deep expertise in the practice and industry of coaching. Sam became a coach because he has a deep motivation to create positive impact. Prior to coaching, he had a career in International Relations and Development: 4 years as an Economic Officer at the World Bank and the United Nations, supporting disadvantaged entrepreneurs around the world; and another 4 years as a Senior Manager at Google leading strategy and operations for an amazing team of 45 Googlers, developing public-private tech partnerships in Asia Pacific. On this journey, he learned that in order for change to happen in the world, we ourselves must change first. Coaching is a vehicle for such change and it is rewarding to witness how the coaching process facilitates inner work and transformation that ripples outwards. Complimenting his coaching, Sam is a wellness practitioner with advanced certifications (over 1000 hours of training) in teaching mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and holistic wellbeing. He is also a facilitator, training people in well-rounded leadership skillsets and mindsets necessary for the 21st century. Sam holds an MA in International Economics from the University of Geneva and a BA in International Politics from Middlebury College. He is a proud United World College alum. Last but not least, Sam looks forward to helping you balance and optimize both your professional and personal lives. Business performance and personal wellness are interconnected, and success is a state that includes both. Great leaders have a 360 view of their business. Greater leaders compliment this with a deep attention to their own growth and development – which in turn impacts their people, and eventually the world.
