What my clients say
“Even though I only had a few sessions with Ulrike, they had a lasting impact on me. She helped me find answers to even the most abstract or complex questions—with great sensitivity, clarity, and without any pressure. From the very beginning, I felt able to be completely open and to share personal matters. One thing that will stay with me is her question about how my perfectionism feels to me: in my response, an image came to mind—a peacock constantly displaying its magnificent feathers. That metaphor has accompanied me ever since, along with the permission to let the peacock rest now and then. Ulrike’s work continues to resonate well beyond our conversations. I'm truly grateful for the experience.”
— Christina Mokoru, HR Software Expert & CEO
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ulrike as my professional coach, and I can confidently say she brings immense value to every session. She has a real talent for asking powerful questions that challenge your thinking, offering insights that are both clear and actionable. Her approach is thoughtful, supportive, and grounded in proven coaching techniques that create space for real growth. Ulrike does a great job of complimenting each session with the next in a way that feels iterative and productive. I’ve benefited greatly from her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking to gain clarity, navigate complexity, or grow as a leader.”
— Adam Ellis, CEO
“Ulrike’s coaching style helped me organize the chaos in my head, working out clear points and priorities. Through this process, I became aware of the truly important considerations needed to reach a decision that is tailor-made for me—one that feels right both objectively and subjectively. Ulrike guided the process with pointed questions that offer a bird’s-eye view, helping me see the forest despite the many trees. Absolutely recommended!”
— Andreas Prokesch, University Professor
"Working with Ulrike has been a truly valuable experience. She is professional, attentive to my individual needs, and consistently tuned into my emotional and mental state. Her unique mix of structured and creative methods allowed us to explore deeply while staying focused. She brings fresh perspectives that helped me see challenges in new ways, and she always keeps track of our progress with thoughtful recaps. I felt completely comfortable being open with her, which made real growth possible. I'm very grateful for her support and insight."
— Stefanie Schuller, Head of Content & Creation
“I worked with Ulrike over a six-month period on the topic of values and strengths profiling. Thanks to her empathetic and calm manner, and her strong ability to ask the right questions and offer fresh perspectives, Ulrike was able to help me refine my initial thoughts and develop my existing position further. I particularly valued the pleasant atmosphere during each session and the tangible results I achieved through the coaching process with Ulrike.”
— Martin Gebhardt, Senior Manager Communications
“Ulrike makes it very easy to fully engage in the coaching process. Thanks to her empathy, calmness, and professionalism, you immediately feel comfortable and safe with her. She masterfully balances appreciation with assertiveness. Thanks to the coaching, I have grown a little more and gained valuable new perspectives. I know exactly who I can turn to in the future if I ever need more clarity again. Thank you, Ulrike—I’m looking forward to the next time!”
— Theresea Seidl, Buying Manager
“Ulrike’s coaching helped me gain a deeper understanding of my true values and what matters to me professionally in a short amount of time. She achieved this by bringing unspoken thoughts into the open. Thank you for your neutral stance and support."
— Michael Egger, HR Manager
"Coaching with Ulrike has helped me gain a clearer understanding of the connections that shape both my professional and personal life. Ulrike creates a trusting and supportive environment where you feel comfortable and can speak openly about challenges. Her questions and constructive input have helped me recognise entrenched patterns of thought, define goals, and give shape to my visions."
— Irene Moser, Sustainability Manager
“Ulrike deliberately began the team coaching with one-to-one conversations to get to know the different viewpoints and experiences of each team member. This created a foundation of trust and highlighted just how diverse the perspectives within the team truly are—something that often gets overlooked in day-to-day work. Building on that, the group coaching sessions brought about many “aha” moments—we were able to speak openly, clear up misunderstandings, and make concrete agreements for how we work together. The coaching noticeably brought us closer as a team. We've not only significantly improved our communication but also developed a deeper understanding of one another.”
— Sven Stückler, Head of Customer Services.

Her targeted questions and practical tools helped me gain clarity and make a well-aligned decision. Absolutely recommendable!"
— Simon M.
“After just one session with you, I had a new direction in mind. Your clear yet deeply empathetic approach, combined with your extensive HR experience, gave me exactly the right impulses. Thank you!”
— Tina K.
