About Me

Lead your work and life with intention and clarity. Everything starts with how you manage yourself.
How we lead ourselves shapes how we experience our work and our lives. Every day, we make choices, navigate relationships and respond to challenges. Sometimes we know exactly where we are going. At other times, change, pressure or uncertainty can make it harder to see what we really want or need.
Conscious self-leadership is about becoming aware of what drives us, what holds us back and how we respond. It means creating space to pause, see more clearly and choose more intentionally who we want to be and how we want to live.
One of my guiding beliefs is that every day is the first day of the rest of your life. Every day gives us the opportunity to grow, choose differently and shape a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. I believe we all have the capacity to grow, make different choices and shape our lives in a way that feels more authentic and meaningful.
My work is about helping people reconnect with themselves, discover what really matters and turn that awareness into meaningful, sustainable change.
I’m Petra,
I am an ICF-accredited Co-Active coach, bringing many years of international business and leadership experience into my work.
My life and career have taken me across countries, cultures and very different environments, from start-ups and nonprofit organisations to international companies and senior leadership roles, including Marketing Director Europe at Elsevier.
Along the way, I have experienced success and setbacks, built a new life abroad, navigated significant change and personal loss, and learned that life rarely follows a straight line.
These experiences have shaped how I work today. I understand the realities of responsibility, ambition, uncertainty and change, but I am equally interested in the person underneath it all.
I look beyond job titles and roles. I am curious about what matters to you, what drives you, what may be getting in your way and who you want to be as you move forward.
I bring experience, warmth, curiosity and a healthy willingness to question the way things have always been done. Above all, I offer a space where you can think openly, be yourself and explore what is genuinely right for you.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals, professionals and leaders who are navigating change, pressure, new responsibilities or a point in life or work where they know something needs to shift.
Together, we create clarity around what really matters, look at the patterns that may be holding you back and strengthen your trust in yourself. This helps you make more conscious choices, set boundaries with greater confidence and move forward in a way that feels right for you, in your work and in your life.

Situations Clients Often Bring
You are constantly busy, carry a lot of responsibility and want to lead yourself and others with more clarity and intention.
You know you need to set better boundaries but fall back into old patterns when things get busy.
You want to lead and live in a way that truly fits who you are.
You want to perform well without draining your energy.
You are successful on the outside but sense that something needs to change.

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

What You Can Expect From Me
I know what it is like to carry responsibility, deal with high expectations and navigate situations you cannot always control, at work and in life.
My coaching is shaped by many years of working in international organisations and leadership roles, including as Marketing Director Europe, as well as by my own experiences of change, setbacks and new beginnings.
I bring experience and perspective, but above all warmth, curiosity and genuine care for the person in front of me.
