Tanja Keller – Executive and Employee Coaching

The solutions for changes and personal difficulties often already lie within us and need to be purposefully untapped, or even challenged. As a systemic coach I act as a neutral confidant who will work with you to develop solutions and attain your personal goals. My methods always involve the system in which you interact, in other words the social and professional environment in which you work and its possible reactions to change.

Based on your values, your needs, and your environment we will find a way towards a healthy energy and work life balance, for example. I also offer support in your development in a leadership role and your personal leadership style, with the creation of a team culture, or your career development. I can help you to deal purposefully with change, such as a new direction, a new position, or coping with organizational restructuring both as a manager or as an employee.

I welcome your open feedback, whenever you choose to give it. The content of our discussions is always treated with the utmost discretion. My aim is that you see with your heart. Not only what is, but what can be.

«It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment.»
(Cesare Pavese)

1. What is Coaching?

Coaching is not psychotherapy. It is rather a directed consultation with a neutral adviser with the aim of uncovering and developing personal strengths and desire for change. Triggers for coaching can be tension or personal conflicts in a professional context that can significantly limit the performance of a team member or the entire team. Systemic coaching not only considers the individual personality of the client but also focuses on the competing interests of professional and private roles and the social, organizational, and professional environment. Goals are determined solely by the client and result in new ideas, new courses of action and increased autonomy and quality of life.

2. How does Coaching work?

Personal responsibility and autonomy, and being open for new perspectives form the cornerstone of my systemic, process-oriented approach to coaching. I always adapt the scope and structure of coaching to your personal needs or the situation in the company.

3. Where does Coaching take place?

By telephone/Skype ( for Germany, USA, Europe)
At your company
At my business premises in Heidelberg
