My number one value in life is learning - both to learn new things myself, but most importantly to enable others to learn. As a psychologist who has extensive experience in training various audiences both online and in-person, I greatly enjoy supporting others on their learning journey. I’ve been teaching since 2012, have obtained a 70h didactics certification from the University of Basel, and was on the university-wide Shortlist for a Teaching Excellence Award in 2021.

My didactic principles

1. I see myself as facilitator instead of a “know-it all” lecturer - I encourage active learning and incorporate participants’ previous experiences.

2. I encourage experimentation and openness - mistakes are the best opportunity to learn.

3. I see trainings as a starting point for learning - the “real" work comes afterwards, so I put a lot of emphasis on applicability and transfer.

4. I use a mix of methodological approaches: theoretical insights based on established research, polls and quizzes, working alone/in pairs/in small groups, video and podcast snippets, letting participants reflect/write/create something.

SAMPLE TOPICS AND CLIENTS

  • We have to make decisions every day - some are rather small, while others are more important. The vast number of options we have can feel daunting, and how do we know which one is the best? This workshop will help you identify your decision-making style and what might prevent you from making decisions, and will provide you with strategies for making decisions quicker and with more confidence.

  • “I’m just lucky”, “I don’t belong here”, “I’m a fraud and people will find out”. Have thoughts like these crossed your mind before? If so, you are definitely not alone. Imposter syndrome describes a set of beliefs revolving around feelings of inadequacy, not deserving success, and misleading others about our abilities. It limits confidence and can actually lead to failure.

    In this workshop, participants will learn what imposter syndrome can look like and what’s behind it, will be guided through some exercises that help combat imposter syndrome, and will have room to exchange with other participants. The goal is to leave the workshop with a better understanding of imposter syndrome and tools to deal with it when it comes up next time.

  • Low motivation, low energy? By identifying and using your own personal resources, you’ll be able to better attain work and personal goals without feeling drained.

    “Personal resources” are individual personal characteristics such as resilience, hope, optimism, or self-efficacy. Using those personal resources helps in achieving professional goals, mitigates stress at work and the negative effects associated with it, and supports personal development and growth. They also contribute to higher well-being and reduce the risk of burnout.

    Everyone of us has different resources, but we often don’t know which those are. That’s why we sometimes end up in a daily routine that’s wasting our energy and leaves us feeling exhausted. In the long term, reflecting on our own resources and using them in our professional and personal lives will help us to achieve our goals quicker while feeling balanced and relaxed.

  • In today's diverse and dynamic workplace, effective communication is crucial for building strong relationships, collaborating successfully, and achieving professional goals. The Social Styles Model provides valuable insights into understanding individual communication preferences and tailoring our approach to connect with others effectively.


    In this workshop, participants will delve into the Social Styles Model and learn practical strategies to enhance their communication skills and create a harmonious work environment. By understanding the different social styles and their impact on interactions, participants will gain the tools to adapt their communication style to various colleagues, superiors, and clients, resulting in improved productivity and strengthened relationships.

  • Everyone seems to talk about it, but what exactly are unconscious biases? And, more importantly, how can we overcome them to achieve more diversity and inclusion in the workplace?

    I approach this sometimes sensitive topic through a playful lens. We all have biases, but the important question is: How do we deal with them? How can we remain open to new information and not let our decisions be influenced by the biases we have?
