Career Transition Management
A strategic plan is the key to success in business and in your career. When planning a managerial transition or after losing your job, you have to recognise the emerging opportunities. With a systematic approach, intelligent re-positioning and sound decisions, you will be able to open up a range of fresh prospects for your professional development.

Services
My consultancy services are geared to the needs of managers, business executives and freelancers who are seeking professional, targeted and structured guidance in shaping their professional future. I set out to help you identify and activate your professional and personal strengths, competencies and potentials.
We start by determining your current position: What are my particular strengths? Where am I better than others? What is my precise objective? What is the right job for me?
In the second step you assess the market: Where exactly is the greatest demand for the skills I can offer? What do companies expect? Who will decide whether to hire me and based on what criteria?
Finally, we will draw up a personalised strategy for approaching your target companies. We will look at the following issues: How do I recognise companies’ needs? How can I best exploit strategic networking potentials? How can I establish contact with promising employers? How should I present myself for maximum impact?
