The approach for altitude
and growth
Co-pilot and catalyst in times of change
Leadership in times of change requires more than short-term strategies and task lists.
It needs a narrative that carries and provides orientation – inward and outward.
What does long-term growth look like?
Where do we stand today, and what stance is moving us forward?
Curious Altitudes stands for a new understanding of leadership: for individuals, for organizations, and in a broader societal context.
Narrative leadership begins with one essential question:
How is change being told and experienced?
By you. In your team. In your organization.
What is it really about? Where is there a lack of clarity? What dynamics and unspoken stories shape decisions?
I accompany people as a co-pilot through phases of change.
With systemic depth, psychodynamic sensitivity, and two decades of experience in brand and leadership work.
Together, we look at what is at work beneath the surface and bring language, structure, and direction to what is only just beginning to take shape.
This is not an off-the-shelf method.
It is a stance and a practical framework to make change tangible through a narrative that connects.

It's okay to be lost in the chaos
We are often caught off guard by change especially in the places where we feel most secure.
In our roles. In our plans. In everyday life.
In the story we tell ourselves about who we are.
Suddenly, there’s this feeling:
Nothing feels right. Nothing fits anymore.
Who am I when all of this falls away?
What does growth even look like then?
It’s okay.
That became an anchor for me when everything started to slip.
It allowed me to look honestly at what was and to find a new direction right there.
First, there was a medical diagnosis that turned everything upside down.
Then came the farewell to a leadership role that had shaped my sense of self for years.
None of it planned. None of it chosen.
What remained was not my full calendar or my title but one question:
What carries me when everything begins to shake and change?
“It’s okay” became a stance.
It’s okay not to have the answer.
It’s okay to feel uncertain.
It is an honest pause and an invitation to look closer – at what is really grinding right now.
In me. In my system. In what I lead, support, or shape.
Because change begins with an honest check-in.
With the courage to say: I do not know what comes next. I am tired. I feel uncertain.
I am not okay and that is okay.
Today, I support people, teams, and organizations right where they are in the zigzag, not along a perfect line.
I am not here to optimize. I am here to create meaning.
This is where real transformation begins.
Today I accompany people, teams and organizations exactly there: in the zigzag, not in the perfect line. I am not an optimizer, but a creator of meaning. This is the starting point for real transformation.
It’s okay.
This stance also shapes my work often as the first step toward new clarity and a narrative that truly holds.
Systems-psychodynamic coaching
I am a certified Executive Coach (INSEAD) and work with an approach that allows for real depth.
Rooted in systems psychodynamic training, this means we don’t just look at what you do we explore what’s underneath and why it matters..
Change is rarely just a process.
It is often a web of expectations, role identities, tensions, and old patterns.
Sometimes, something is in the way that has no name.
That is exactly where I begin.
My work creates space for things to become clearer.
A space where patterns reveal themselves, where language emerges for what has remained unspoken, and where inner restlessness begins to shift into direction.
Where your inner compass begins to shape a narrative you can move forward with.
The Curious Methodology
My core values and guiding principles are curiosity and altitude.
I combine them with experience and apply them through a holistic methodology shaped by years in executive leadership, in coaching processes, and in working with teams, systems, strategies, brands, and identity.
It helps you find a new sense of orientation. First on the inside. Then on the outside.
Three levels provide direction:
Narrative Depth
What is at work within me? What carries me? What expectations do I hold for myself and my roles?
Narrative Resonance
How do I show up in the world? What is perceived? What expectations are projected onto me?
Narrative Altitude
Where am I headed? What is my inner compass pointing toward? What roles do I want to step into in the future?
Because change never follows a straight line, we work with six core movements within your narrative.
Locate. Own. Translate. Contain. Reframe. Navigate.
These are key terms that serve as anchor points throughout the process.
They create orientation without oversimplifying.
This is not a toolbox.
It is a reflective framework and a new language for direction.
Its strength lies in what it reveals.
