Coaching for career turning points – be brave.
Find clarity for your next step
Hi, I am Catherine
Do you sometimes wonder whether your job is still the right fit for you, or wish for more ease in your working life? Would you like to really settle into a new role? Or would you like to take some time to think through an important decision with a neutral person?
As different as these situations may be, they all have one thing in common: the search for clarity. That’s exactly where my coaching comes in. Together, we’ll take a look at your situation, sort through what’s unclear right now, and figure out what you really want—until open-ended questions turn into concrete next steps.
I am a coach with over ten years of HR experience in both large corporations and SMEs. I know career turning points not only from my work as a coach, but also from my own experience – from hospitality to HR and ultimately to self-employment. Through my HR experience, I understand both perspectives: what motivates people during times of change and what organisations look for in their people.
Coaching makes possible what we often lack time for in everyday life: a clear perspective on our own situation. And with that clarity come confidence and the courage to take action. Because I’m convinced that change begins with courage—and courage rarely means taking a giant leap, but rather that first step that sets everything in motion.
Take the first step and contact me for a complimentary introductory call.
Be brave!
About Me
Driven by the firm conviction that change presents opportunities for growth and positive development, I discovered my passion for coaching in 2020. Since then, I have continuously pursued further education in this field. My personal journey has also been shaped by numerous transformations, leading me from an initial career in the hotel industry to a transition into HR, and ultimately to founding my own company. Throughout it all, one constant has remained: my enthusiasm for people and their stories, and the joy of supporting them in their personal development.
When I'm not immersed in my projects, I'm often drawn to water. This element holds a special fascination for me – and it's no wonder: even when it appears calm, water possesses immense power to effect change. It bypasses obstacles, reshapes entire landscapes, and effortlessly adapts to its surroundings. For me, water is the perfect symbol for the transformations we humans undergo, and for the profound, often inevitable force of change in life.
Career
My professional roots are in the hospitality industry (Operations & Sales)—that’s where I learned early on what it means to put people and service first. I’ve brought this perspective to the HR field for over ten years: in consulting, organizational and team development, change management, as well as in recruiting, talent management, compensation & benefits, and performance management.
I have taken on technical and project leadership roles in both large corporations and the SME sector—always with a focus on agile, interdisciplinary teams that are in the midst of digital transformation and constantly evolving. In September 2024, I continued on this path and founded be brave coaching gmbh.
