ABout me
I’m the son of a Turkish father and a Chilean mother. Born and raised in Germany, I speak 4 languages fluently, of which German, Spanish, and Turkish are my mother tongues.
After having worked with many fast-growing, European companies, I know that compassionate leadership is crucial for the growth & health of any business.
I've seen and worked with a lot of managers who were focused on reaching targets at all costs, but who were unable to develop their teams, either because they never learned to be a supportive leader, missing support from HR departments, or due to a lack of time or interest.
The reason I decided to become an ICF accredited coach is to enable individuals as well as professionals to act according to their values to become better role models. I equip them with tools to find more clarity, meaning and motivation in their personal and professional life.
In my free time you'll find me spending time with my family and friends, and in nature, doing all kinds of outdoor sports, like hiking, running, snowboarding, playing beach volleyball and backgammon.
Vision
My vision is to inspire professionals to use leadership not only to achieve high-performing teams, but also to contribute to the holistic development of team members, creating a thriving and prosperous environment.
Mission
Through personalized coaching, I empower individuals and leaders to cultivate ethical and compassionate practices, fostering a culture of integrity and individual well-being within their teams to achieve both personal growth and organizational success.
"Hearts and minds cannot be bought or forced; they can only be earned. They are granted only to noble missions and to leaders who can be trusted. This applies not only to organizations, but to all areas of human activity."
