BREAK FREE - EPISODE 1: From success and struggle to liberating myself

I am Anna-Lena, a self-leadership coach for women. In this first episode, I share my own story, how my way went first always up, I then struggled on my professional path and almost "failed", but with support turned this challenge into my opportunity to grow and flourish. This also then gave me the courage and the confidence, after almost 15 years of working in European cooperation in higher education and research policy, to take the plunge in 2025 to create my own business and dedicate myself to supporting other women on their path. I share this here not to draw attention to myself, but to inspire others who might be in a challenging phase in their job and remind them about their own strength and inner resources.

As certified systemic self-leadership coach I support especially women to step into their true power professionally. I help them to find purpose and balance in what they do and the courage to bring their gifts to the world. I also work with diverse teams to foster collaboration, continue to support university leaders in developing their visions and strategies and serve as moderator and facilitator. 

In this podcast, I share my own insights, observations and tools from my work to provide inspiration, forge connections and empower others.
