My path
My path
For more than 25 years, my professional focus has been on economic, tax, and legal issues. Meanwhile, it is important to me to look at things from an emotional viewpoint – aside from the factual – since it is often deadlock behavioural patterns, entangled relationships, and unresolved conflicts or systemic inconsistencies that make it difficult to resolve factual issues.
Today I am interested in people from a holistic viewpoint – level-headed, with heart, mind and feelings. That's why I became a mediator: In a mediation, not only the issue to be resolved has relevance, but also the "person as a whole ".
My conviction
My conviction
I full heartedly believe, a sense for what is most important to a person increases with age. They become more and more aware that their lifetime and creative power are limited. This becomes more apparent when it comes to your estate – inheritance or succession. As a rule, people don't wish to leave their family in a quarrel or cause one through their estate. Instead, they want to pass on something that has been meaningful to them throughout their life.
My motto
My motto
"Do what you wish you had done when your time here is over" – I'm driven by this motto. I have great respect for the path that older people have taken, all of their life experiences and achievements. That is what motivates me to support them when it comes to passing some of that experience and achievement to their offspring, and facilitating an understanding between generations. So, I get to the bottom of things. I'm interested in the "big picture": who and what is related to each other, and what dependencies result from this.
I also enjoy working in interdisciplinary teams. I am happy to call upon external expertise from a broad network when I hit a roadblock.
My goal
My goal
What do I wish for? To do what fits me, my personality, and my own development: supporting and accompanying people and their families on the challenging path through change and new beginnings.
