Stefan uses purposeful creativity to deliver better results. He does this by listening carefully and providing positive as well as constructive feedback to ensure his clients’ needs are always met, and by creating workshops with clients that challenge people to do things in a different way. This is an approach he role-models in his own work as well, which is why his mindset can be defined by one question: “Why not?”.
Stefan is a management facilitator and leadership coach who helps individuals and teams to achieve their goals. This includes guiding management teams to create a vision, defining ways of working, and solving conflicts. Stefan also designs and runs leadership programmes and coaches senior leaders from various industries.
Recently, Stefan designed and facilitated a number of workshops with Senior executives in the Aviation industry to help them create an inspiring vision and mission. Stefan pushed participants beyond the boundaries of written language by encouraging them to express their views graphically to access their creative brains. The end result was a stronger, more innovative vision for the organisation.
Another recent project saw Stefan working with a Senior Leader (FMCG) from South Africa and his multi-cultural team, made up of more than 10 nationalities. Stefan used culture profiling to foster mutual understanding and to unleash the combined creative power amongst team members.
Stefan pursued his academic career in the UK, France and Germany, earning a degree in mechanical engineering, a post-graduate degree in business and an MBA. He is licensed to use the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI®) as well as the LIFO®-Method. He also holds a non-expiring ICAO language proficiency certificate level 6 (of 6). Recently he was awarded the Artgym Advance Practitioner Certificate.
Learning and development is his biggest professional passion. Beyond that his greatest passion is being a parent. In his spare time, he enjoys acting as a pilot in command and participates regularly in triathlon competitions.
