Purpose
My WHY is a future where humanity and purpose are the new normal at work. A future for everyone and nature to thrive.
Yes, I know PURPOSE is the new buzz word, sugar-coated with some shiny values, free yoga, meditation, voluntary time off, plus competitive salary and off you go to attract top talents to heal the world. No, not quite what I have in mind. The ingredients per se are not the problem but as long as the intention behind all that is just to outperform competition, higher, faster, further there is always someone we leave behind, exclude, exploit for our own benefit.
I noticed a craving for real and authentic connection, a „safe space“ to belong and productively participate with our uniqueness to create something great with meaning. I have successfully tried it. And yes, an ego-free system is sustainable, more fun and highly productive.

What makes me stand out and why you should work with me
My approach is MODULAR, you only pick what fits where it fits. Less is often more, saves time, money and lets you focus on what is important. HOLISTIC for me means learning with your mind, heart and body; a lasting effect, deeply rooted within you. I love PLAYFUL! It is different, it is natural, fosters curiosity and fun. I value impact, that is why Wooden Table stands for NO BULLSHIT.

Into the Woods
Reconnect to yourself,
others and nature
INTO THE WOODS is an embodied, restorative, and sensory exploration to slow down and connect.
I guide leaders like you through a gentle forest therapy walk, using a series of invitations to awaken your senses, foster presence, and rekindle your connection to yourself and nature—an invaluable means to cultivate a sense of belonging and inner calm. This sets the stage for diving into your focus topic, utilizing a toolbox of coaching, mentoring, attentive listening, consulting, inspiration or sparring, tailored to your specific needs.
INTO THE WOODS is usually done solo. On request it can be adapted to teams up to 8 people and combined with any other module.

Flourish as a Leader
If you didn’t have to work for money what job would you do instead?
Many of us are unable to answer this question and only very few are super happy with what they do and how they do it.
The Great Resignation shows that many employees and leaders struggle finding meaning in their jobs. High stress levels, toxic work cultures and constant change often lead to silent quitting, disconnection, distress. So now what?
Good news; all the answers are there.
Flourish as a leader is a holistic and intuitive approach using creative elements and tapping into your right side of your brain, with a lasting impact. It helps you to discover your best self and unlock all the answers you need to flourish in your current job or finding your new path.
I have ready programs and modules but this journey can be 100% tailored to your needs.

This approach is great:
- When feeling a lack of purpose in your job and money is the sole driver
- When feeling constantly stressed and being low in energy
- When feeling disconnected with yourself, the team or the organization
- When needing a better understanding of what your super powers are and how to best use them in your current role
- When you want to explore new options but have no clue what’s next
- When you want to prepare yourself for a leadership role

Shaping the Future of Business
I noticed it is easy to talk about what needs to be done but so much harder to actually do it.
I support you in making the first step or walking the whole way. I have done it, I felt it and I know the pitfalls and struggles of leadership and organizational changes on all levels.
Every team and every leader is unique and so are the needs. Shaping the future of business is bespoke and can be just one hour or a whole path — totally up to you.

My favorite topics I love to support you with:
- Purpose: How an authentic purpose and vision helps leading the team and attract the people you want on your mission.
- Safe space: Shifting teams from toxic to cooperative, boosting employee health, innovation and a sense of belonging.
- Flexible work models: e.g. less is more – how a 4 day week or other reduced work models can help the business and the team to thrive.
- Connection: Leading remote and hybrid teams and how bringing more than your head to work can increase joy and productivity in your day to day job for you and others.
- Change: How to prepare your team to embrace change and innovation.
- Organizational Structures: Shifting from hierarchy toward self organized teams to free up time, motivation and innovation.
Plant a Seed
Support the growth of those less fortunate
I believe in a future where everyone can thrive but are well aware that not everyone has the support and money to do so.
The global share of women in senior leadership roles is still less than one third across private and public sectors. On average women earn 20% less for the same role.*
It will take 132 years to close the global gender gap.

About
My roots are in the north of Germany, born and raised with 3 sisters in Hamburg I spent hours up on trees and even more hours on a soccer pitch. I am a Business Therapist, an experienced, courageous and humble leader with 20+ years in the IT and software industry. I am a Linguist, a 1st division soccer player and a mother of two. I value authenticity and awareness in people. I am a curious observer, full of ideas, more introvert than extrovert, passionate as well as pragmatic. People describe me as straight forward. I tend to speak too fast when excited or stressed. I love a good challenge, licorice and having an impact. I don’t like unwrapping presents in front of others and when people with power misuse it for their own benefit. My number one value is courage and my favorite super power creativity.
