Coaching in Berlin – In-Person & Online
Think more clearly. Gain new perspectives. Make good decisions.
- Are you facing a career decision and looking for more clarity?
- Would you like to better understand or change a situation in your daily work life?
- Are you looking for a neutral space through coaching to organize your thoughts and develop new perspectives?
When coaching can be helpful
Many professional questions cannot be solved by expertise alone. They involve decisions, relationships, or your own role in your daily work life. At the same time, there is often a lack of a place to sort through your thoughts in peace and view situations with some distance. Coaching offers exactly this space.
I use a systemic approach in my coaching. This means that we don’t just look at a single situation, but also at the contexts in which it arises. These include, for example, team dynamics, organizational expectations, or internal motivators that influence our actions. Coaching offers opportunities for personal growth and development. In my experience, my clients generally enjoy discovering new things about themselves.
Conclusion
Coaching creates a safe space where professional situations can be viewed from a new perspective, thereby expanding one’s options for action.
Typical outcomes of coaching include:
- greater clarity regarding professional situations and decisions
- a better understanding of dynamics within teams and organizations
- new perspectives on conflicts or difficult conversations
- a more mindful approach to stress and responsibility
- greater confidence in your own actions
- the courage to take the next step
In coaching, I don’t provide you with ready-made answers. Rather, my role is to ask you questions you may not have asked yourself yet, and occasionally to suggest an idea you can try out, provided it suits you. With humor, genuine interest, and a healthy dose of calmness, I’m happy to accompany you for a part of your journey.
Frequently Asked Questions About Coaching in Berlin & Brandenburg – Also Available Online
1. What is coaching?
Coaching is a professional conversational format that helps people gain a clearer understanding of professional situations and develop new courses of action. It is not about receiving ready-made solutions, but rather about broadening one’s own perspectives and making informed decisions.
2. What topics is coaching suitable for?
Coaching is often sought when people are facing important professional decisions, want to reflect on their role in a work context, or need to deal with complex situations within a team. Typical topics include conflicts in everyday work, difficult conversations, high levels of responsibility, or the desire for more clarity about the next career step.
3. How does coaching work?
Coaching typically begins with an initial consultation, during which we clarify your concerns and determine whether working together makes sense. In the coaching sessions, we then examine specific situations from your professional life, develop new perspectives, and identify possible next steps.
4. How long does a coaching session last?
A single coaching session typically lasts 90 minutes to allow sufficient time for reflection and new perspectives. Some people come for a single session, while others use coaching over several sessions, depending on the topics they wish to address.
5. How many coaching sessions are recommended?
That depends heavily on the issue at hand. Sometimes a single session is enough to gain more clarity. In other cases, it may make sense to spread the coaching over several sessions to support changes in your daily work routine step by step.
6. Who is coaching suitable for?
Coaching is designed for people who want to reflect on and actively shape their professional situation. Many clients hold positions of responsibility or are facing complex decisions in their professional lives.
7. How does coaching differ from counseling or therapy?
Coaching focuses on professional issues and personal development in the context of work. Unlike traditional counseling, no ready-made solutions are provided. Coaching is also not therapy; rather, it is aimed at people who wish to reflect on and further develop their professional issues.
8. What methods are used in coaching?
In coaching, I primarily work with a systemic approach. This means that we do not only examine individual situations, but also the contexts in which they arise—such as team dynamics, the organizational context, or personal patterns of thought and behavior.
9. Does coaching take place only in Berlin, or is it also available online?
Coaching can take place in person in Berlin or online via video call. Both formats have proven effective in practice. Together, we’ll decide which format is best suited to your situation.
10. What specific changes can coaching bring about?
Coaching can help you understand situations more clearly, develop new perspectives, and make more informed decisions. Through coaching, many people gain greater confidence in their actions, clarity about their next steps, and a more constructive approach to professional challenges.
M. V., Manager and Dentist in a Dental Practice
Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde very quickly succeeded in strengthening us as a management team in structured coaching sessions and her professional feedback helped us a lot in the further development of our management style, the structure in our practice and also in holding team meetings to discuss current issues in order to avoid new conflicts.
Dr. P. B., Lecturer and Head of Department at a Berlin University
With a great deal of commitment, classic and unconventional training methods, she was able to sensitize the colleagues in our workshop “Team building through feedback”. For teachers, receiving personal feedback in a group of colleagues is an unusual situation. With her professional moderation and a great deal of sensitivity, she mastered this excellently and led the workshop to a "tangible" result in the form of feedback rules that we developed together with her. The result will accompany the colleagues in the department in their future work.
Dr. M. B., Engineer/Managing Director of a Company in the Aviation Industry
With her background in mediation and coaching and her skills as an intercultural trainer, she was able to guide the German-English team through the workshops. In linguistically very difficult situations and in heated discussions, she was able to contribute significantly to the success of the workshops through simultaneous interpreting. Ms. Kostadinowa impressed and inspired my colleagues and me with her engaging, people-oriented manner, her humor and her strong personality.
G. V., Dental Practice Manager
Both the team and my partner and I have come to know and appreciate Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde's warm-hearted manner, her humor and her structured leadership. She asks smart questions, picks up when things get very emotional, shows ways forward when one or the other is stuck in a mental dead end, is always empathetic and patient and continuously gives appreciative and helpful feedback. We all felt strengthened and understood by working with her. Her working style has also deepened the understanding between us and promoted cohesion. My partner and I now have a strong and motivated team that we enjoy working with every day.
S. K., Coffee Import Company Manager
I was given lots of energy and positive tips and left each session with lots of feedback and inspiration. Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde takes on the personal story - in her manager coaching sessions - and thus deals specifically with the individual professional situation. I always came away from a session feeling stronger and knowing that I could count on honest feedback from Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde. Thank you for your great support in my day-to-day work!
A. S., Remedial Teacher, Assisted Individual Living for Mentally Ill People
I met a woman who touched me with her authenticity, sensitivity and high level of professionalism. In the team supervision sessions, Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde ensures a balance between extroverted and introverted participants. I am particularly impressed by her sensitive attention to the words that are spoken and, above all, to the words that are not spoken. Recognizing the issues without judgment, with a clear focus on solutions, without losing the naturalness, I clearly name as an outstanding strength. I am grateful that Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde makes the world more understanding, clearer, happier and lighter. I wish Mrs. Kostadinowa-Rohde much health, strength and joy to continue to bring her great work into the world.
T. S., Dental Practice Manager
I had a team coaching session with my practice team and Ms. Kostadinowa over several sessions. The reason for this was to gain understanding for my colleagues and to achieve better cooperation in a growing team. Even though the team was a little skeptical at first about what to expect, Ms. Kostadinowa quickly won everyone over. Through several exercises and team tasks, we were able to grow together better and address problems openly. Even though everything is a process and takes time, it was helpful and also very informative for me as a manager. I can only recommend it to any manager who wants to grow together with their team. The employees were also able to learn something new, whether for their work or how to deal better with conflicts in their private lives in future.
C. S., IT Company Executive
Ms. Kostadinowa supported us in a complex process very competently, sensitively and with a lot of patience and thus contributed significantly to team improvements on various levels. I can recommend you and your skills!
J. S., Head of Daycare Center
We worked as a team with Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde and it cleared up a lot of things and brought them to the surface, so that we now have a much better team atmosphere. I would work with her again at any time.
F. M., Research Center Manager
Ms. Kostadinowa has been accompanying my team and me as a conflict moderator and management coach for several years - whether in times of crisis due to Corona or when changes in the team, change processes, etc. have led to tensions in the team. She works with us primarily with the entire team, but sometimes also in pairs or in individual sessions - both in person and online.
We are more than satisfied with her performance and look forward to further discussions with her. Thank you very much for your support.
