Professional and Personal Background
Brigitte brings over 20 years of experience in international cooperation, where she advised and managed development programs for national and international organizations. With a background in cultural anthropology and a deep understanding of global work environments, she supports professionals navigating career transitions, especially in international or cross-cultural contexts.
Her coaching approach draws on Positive Psychology, strengths-based methods, and tools such as ProfilPASS and Job Crafting. She guides individuals in rediscovering their core competencies, aligning values, and building confidence for the next step in their career.
Brigitte is known for her strategic clarity, appreciative approach, and ability to unlock potential—whether supporting individuals, teams, or institutions in shaping meaningful career paths and development strategies.
“At the beginning of any career change, it’s all about what’s already there, namely: ‘What am I capable of?’ and ‘What can I rely on?’ Engaging with one’s own competencies, strengths, values, and needs is the central first step towards greater satisfaction, engagement, and quality of performance. In our daily lives, we often overlook our intricate needs and competencies or take them for granted. Every career change—whether desired or caused by external factors—offers the opportunity to actively rediscover valuable personal resources. From there, it becomes easier to realign one’s personal compass in the professional sphere and embark on the next steps of development.”
