  • #10 Job Crafting: Actively and motivatingly design your own job

    Job Crafting is a concept from positive organizational psychology. It's about proactively adapting work to your own wishes and needs. Sounds like wishful thinking? But it can be done! There are different forms of Job Crafting, in my podcast I focus on cognitive Job Crafting. Cognitive Job Crafting is about changing the way we perceive our job. With my coachee Lukas Kremer, I look at his job as a team leader in the purchasing department from a new perspective. While he often felt like a hamster in a wheel before the coaching, he now sees himself more as a strategist and real leader. Feel free to listen!

  • #9 How to increase your well-being in virtual meetings

    In the New Normal, "being observed" and "observing oneself" are topics in video meetings. As one coachee puts it, "I feel like I'm constantly being watched, especially by myself - and I've become really dissatisfied with my appearance."

    This is exactly what I talk about with my guest Lea Menzel. She is a psychologist and has conducted a study on well-being in video meetings. Clear result: it affects our well-being when we watch ourselves and compare ourselves with others. In the podcast, we talk about the psychological background and give tips on how you can increase your well-being in video meetings.

  • #8 Your perfect working environment

    Which working environment corresponds to your ideal? What motivates you and makes you successful? People have different needs and therefore different expectations of their working environment. In this episode you will get to know your motivation type and the job factors that make you personally satisfied.

  • #7 Healthy use of social media
    Study results show: The impact of social media on mental health is minimal. If we get enough exercise and sleep, social media is not harmful. However, it is very time-intensive: Generation Z spends an average of 3 hours a day on it. What makes social media so attractive? And how can we prevent this nice pastime from turning into an addiction?

  • #6 Customer-Centric Self Marketing: Explore the Employer Experience Journey
    In the latest episode of MY BUSINESS COACHING PODCAST, brand management expert and book author Dr. Miriam Jentschke and I apply the Costumer Experience Journey (CEJ) model to self-marketing and networking. Marketing activities are precisely aligned with the five stages of this journey, always with the customer in focus. In our EMPLOYER EXPERIENCE JOURNEY, we focus on potential clients and employers. What are their needs at the various stages of the journey? And how can I create value? In the podcast, IT specialist Max takes the journey - accompany him on his five self-marketing stations! This is an important topic, because especially in times of social distancing and home office, it is important to find new, innovative ways of self-marketing and networking.

  • #5 Career anchors or what are your motivators?
    The new episode of my podcast is about "inner career", about living in harmony with ones own values and self-image. 
    In his research on management careers, Edgar Schein, a world-famous social scientist, has identified eight different career anchors. Autonomy/independence and security/stability are two of them, pure challenge and work-life-balance two others. My coaching practice shows that very few people have only one anchor, but usually two or three guiding principles. If these are contradictory, as in the case of my coachee Paul Hoffmann, it can be difficult to make a professional decision. Feel free to listen in!

  • #4 CV - International and intercultural differences
    The fourth episode of MY BUSINESS COACHING PODCAST is online!
    In this episode I will have a chat with my colluege Lea Menzel, who is the expert in CV matters in our team. Thanks to her studies at the International School of Management, she also knows a lot about intercultural differences in selfpresentation. We will talk about the relevance of a really good CV, the most important do's and don'ts when it comes to writing one and the intercultural differences in selfpresentation. We will also take a closer look at the Hofstede model, which explains intercultural differences according to five cultural dimensions.

  • #3 Recognize your core competencies or: What exactly makes you successful?
    Do you actually know which competences characterize you personally? No? Then you are in good company. Most people can't name what they are particularly good at. This is due to a typical thinking error: The things we are especially good at are nothing special in our own eyes.  
    In this episode of MY BUSINESS COACHING PODCAST I will talk with my coachee Steven about the relevance of exactly these core competences in private and professional settings, how I determine these in my coaching sessions together with the coachee and what a so-called "strength shower" is. 
    By the way: This episode is part of a miniseries on professional and personal reorientation.
