ur welcome (short for “You are welcome.”) is not only a name but, indeed, our motto: you and your concerns are very welcome, and we are happy to help you deal with them.
Our coaching enables you to improve your communication skills, make clear agreements and statements and helps to enhance the quality of the atmosphere in both business and private relationships.
ur welcome offers support / coaching in three areas which are connected but can also be booked individually:
Language coaching in English and German for all language levels from A1 - C2
Business coaching for specialists and managers in both German and English
Personal coaching for individuals or couples, also in German and English
Would you like to refresh and expand your English skills for professional or private reasons? Perhaps it's been a while since you've spoken English? Do your memories of English lessons at school give you mixed feelings at best? Perhaps you're even a little embarrassed to speak English in front of other people?
Or would you like to learn German or become more proficient in this language? Do the complicated grammar rules and the different meanings of words give you a headache? Would you like to work on your pronunciation?
We help you develop a relaxed and positive approach to the English or the German language. Together, we will gradually break down barriers, dig out vocabulary you thought you had forgotten, learn new words, unravel the secrets of grammar and strengthen your confidence in yourself.
Online or in person at the company, we support your employees in learning German and English (levels A1-C1).
We see business coaching as a consulting process in which you, your company, your managers and your employees take centre stage. Appreciation, trust, clarification of the initial situation and the desired goals are the foundation of every coaching session.
Business coaching is useful if, for example, you find that business management measures and organisational optimisations are not producing the expected results. It is also recommended if you want to initiate and successfully implement changes in your company. In our experience, the way of sharing information within an organisation is the key to success when it comes to change.
Our business coaching includes formats such as individual coaching, group workshops and team training. When selecting the format, we are guided by your goals and the milestones that we define together with you in advance. Our approach is based on these agreements. In regular feedback meetings, we reflect on the progress of the overall process and decide on the next steps. In this way, our business coaching becomes a resource that supports your company in achieving its business goals.
We offer Business Coaching in English and German language.
Would you like to make a change in your life, but you don't know exactly how? Are you struggling with a stressful situation with someone else and looking for a solution? Are you going through a challenging phase as a couple and want a way out? In short, something is not running smoothly in your life and a professionally guided conversation can create balance and chart new paths.
Important components of our personal coaching are confidentiality, empathy, active listening and the promotion of insights. For example, we ask specific questions to help you find your solutions. We focus on your strengths and open spaces of opportunity in which you can develop and test practical solutions for your concerns.
All in all, personal coaching can provide valuable support in realising your full potential and help you lead a fulfilled and happy life, both professionally and personally.
We also offer this form of coaching in both German and English.
‘In a community - whether professional, private or social - talking to each other is always preferable to talking about each other. For this to succeed, there are prerequisites. I help you where linguistic or communicative hurdles need to be removed and where it is important to recognise nuances and eliminate misunderstandings. In addition, it may sometimes be necessary to first gain clarity about your own position before solution-orientated action or an exchange with others is possible. Here, too, I am happy to support you and your company’s employees.’

‘Misunderstandings between members of a team happen because everyone initially assumes that their own behaviour is basically correct. If everyone sticks to their own behaviour, misunderstandings can easily turn into conflicts that jeopardise cooperation. I work with everyone involved to develop an objective view of their own behaviour and the behaviour of others. The insights gained help all team members to solve existing problems and to develop a new, constructive way of dealing with misunderstandings and conflicts.’
