Lead your work and life with intention and clarity. Everything starts with how you manage yourself.
Whether you lead a team, run a business, contribute as a professional or navigate the responsibilities of everyday life, you influence others through your presence. How you show up, make decisions and respond under pressure.
Leadership is not only about a role or title. It is reflected in how you relate to yourself and others, how you handle challenges and how consciously you choose your response.
More conscious leadership, at work and in life, begins with how you lead yourself.
This is work I care deeply about, because conscious self-leadership contributes not only to healthier organisations and more sustainable performance, but also to stronger relationships and a more human and responsible world.
Conscious leadership starts within.
The more you understand what drives you, what triggers you and what truly matters to you, the easier it becomes to respond with clarity rather than simply react. You communicate more openly, build stronger relationships and stay closer to yourself when things get difficult.
This work reaches far beyond leadership. It influences how you work, make decisions, relate to others and take care of your energy. It helps you create a way of living and working that feels more meaningful, sustainable and true to who you are.
I’m Petra,
an ICF accredited Co-Active coach. My life and career have taken me across countries, cultures, and periods of change. I have experienced successes and setbacks, built a new life in a different country and culture, and found my way through personal loss.
I have worked in very different environments, from biotech start-ups and nonprofits to agencies and an international corporate organisation. In senior leadership roles, including Marketing Director Europe at Elsevier, I experienced firsthand how the way we lead ourselves affects not only our work, but also our relationships, wellbeing and the choices we make.
The breadth of these experiences has shaped who I am today. It helps me connect with people beyond their job titles and see the whole person behind the professional, with their own ambitions, hopes, doubts and life story.
Who I Work With
I work with committed professionals and individuals who want to lead themselves, their lives and others with greater clarity and intention and create a more meaningful and fulfilling career and 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 are at a crossroads and want to make a thoughtful decision.
You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone
Coaching gives you the space to reflect, take fresh perspective and focused action, and reconnect with what really matters to you. From there, you can move forward with more clarity, self‑trust and direction.

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.
