Group Coachings and Workshops

Many women reach a point in their careers where their previous goals, roles or ways of working no longer feel like a given. The desire for personal development is palpable, yet it is often unclear which direction the next step should take.

This workshop offers a structured framework for taking a nuanced look at one’s own career situation. We identify interests, values, experiences and individual strengths, whilst also consciously focusing on resources, motivation and the conditions for well-being at work. Insights from positive psychology help us to approach development not merely from a sense of deficiency, but from an understanding of what empowers people and enables them to work healthily in the long term.

Working in a group opens up additional perspectives: experiences are shared, patterns become more visible, and new ways of looking at one’s own situation become possible. The aim is to gain a well-founded assessment of one’s current position and greater clarity regarding career development opportunities.

Leadership does not emerge in a vacuum. Women in leadership roles often operate within organisational cultures shaped by implicit expectations, traditional role models and structural dynamics. The question of how leadership can be shaped is therefore always a question of context.

In this workshop, participants will explore their own understanding of leadership: What strengths do I bring to the table? What attitude shapes my leadership behaviour? How do I deal with ambivalence, visibility, responsibility or conflicting expectations?

A systemic perspective helps to avoid hastily attributing challenges to the individual, but rather to understand them within the interplay of role, organisation and environment. At the same time, a strengths-focused approach enhances self-efficacy, reflective capacity and well-being as a leader. The aim is a conscious, reflective and sustainable form of leadership.

Some career-related issues are best addressed through discussion with others. Group coaching combines individual reflection with peer learning and creates a framework in which women can explore professional issues on an ongoing basis and in greater depth.

Typical topics include career reorientation, role and positioning, work-life balance, coping with stress, preparing for new responsibilities, and questions regarding visibility and effectiveness within an organisational context. Structural experiences – such as a lack of appreciation, role conflicts or gender-based assumptions – can also be addressed.

Group coaching creates a learning space in which different perspectives become apparent and individual resources can be utilised more consciously. The aim is not merely to resolve individual issues, but to develop clarity, self-confidence and sustainable professional agency.
