Personal note:

Hi, I am Christine, and I support leaders and teams to develop a highly effective, self-aware and sustainable approach to work.

With a mindfulness approach to leadership development, I guide leaders to evolve on a professional and personal level, drive change in the organization and make a difference.

I help teams to stay on task, approach problems with an open mind and collaborate with empathy and efficiency.

Bio:

My approach is based on years of research about work-life-balance practices of location independent entrepreneurs at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-University in Munich. I also bring into my work years of experience as an HR consultant and agile IT project manager.

I am a certified meditation instructor following the teachings of the Willpower Institute in the US and Canada, and I am trained by Shinzen Young’s Unified Mindfulness System. Having spent many years in the cultural north of Thailand, I also draw from an extensive temple practice and Buddhist teachings from the Theravada Tradition. My teachings have no spiritual or religious touch.

Based on the two pillars of western research and eastern mindfulness tradition, I have developed a process combining mindfulness and project management in order to bring about a deep and lasting transformation of the relationship with work.

I teach simple and practical tools to achieve heightened and prolonged states of concentration, focus and clarity, develop heightened self-awareness and compassion, and transform the way of communicating and relating in a business context. These fundamental skills are crucial for success and allow you to navigate any challenge at the workplace.
