Your Life.
Your Adventure.
Take the Lead.
HI, I AM GINA FRIEDRICH
As a professional coach I support people who don’t want to leave their own path to coincidence (any longer) and would like to experience themselves as being authentic and impactful. I help provide clarity and structure – in doing so, my clients value my appreciative, positive and constructive style. This enables them to experience life with its many opportunities as an adventure on safe ground.
I am happy to accompany you as a
-
reflection and sparring partner,
-
resource (re)activator,
-
development or clarification helper,
-
motivator,
-
feedback provider and
-
attentive listener
– always with great curiosity, openness and respect.
I have more than 14 years of diverse professional experience in marketing and project management as well as in leading positions in the media & international telecommunications industry and the educational foundation sector.
During these years tackled new and instructive assign-ments at home and abroad repeatedly with joy, knowing the diverse challenges one is facing in everyday work – from a group corporation to a startup.
I know that it gets difficult sometimes to steadily remain true to oneself, whilst still being able to change perspectives and actively bring about decisions. At the same time, I know how fulfilling it is to shape one's own path consciously and experience oneself as being impactful.

And this is me (as well)
