An important part of being a coach is defining your work ethic and approach to coaching. When I am in the coach role, I take off my “trainer hat”, because now the focus is not on knowledge transfer and the improvement of certain skills. In the center of coaching is the client with his/her unique personality, potential and resources.
I see myself as a sparring partner who offers a safe space for the personal development of my clients. We explore possible problem areas and their causes. Without prescribing solutions, I actively shape the coaching process through question techniques and interventions derived from systemic coaching. I am transparent at all times and explain all steps we take together. I listen actively and empathetically, mirror feelings, summarize, structure and visualize. The client is accompanied in the process of self-reflection and thereby gains the desired clarity and self-awareness.
We will not get stuck in discussing problems for long. Instead, we look ahead and explore possible solutions, the available resources, and the next concrete steps. This “help for self-help” opens up new perspectives that enable the client to expand his or her scope of action effectively and successfully.
With the special sensitivity of a “cultural chameleon”, I have an eye on which cultural factors need to be considered. If needed, training components such as knowledge transfer about culture-related behavioral patterns are integrated into the coaching process to a small extent. Furthermore, I keep in mind that the expectations of the coachee towards coaching can vary greatly depending on their cultural imprint and adapt my approach accordingly.
Before we start, I offer a free discovery session in which both sides can get to know each other and find out whether I am the right coach for the clients coaching issue. We explore our “chemistry” and decide whether we can imagine working together. The coaching process itself consists of several individual sessions of 60 – 120 minutes each and is a result and solution-oriented process. We formulate a concrete, realistic and measurable goal that the client wants to achieve at the end of the coaching. The process ends when the goal is reached or the client wants to end the coaching. This can be after three, six or x sessions, this is completely up to the client.
Time is a scarce commodity in everyday business. With my tailor-made training, I concentrate on the essentials, so that you are ready to tackle your new tasks right away. To achieve sustained learning success, I highly recommend additional coaching. Thanks to modern technology, both the training and coaching can be carried out virtually.
If there is one thing my many years of experience abroad have taught me: always expect the unexpected! Theoretical concepts are an important basis. But in order to be able to move confidently and successfully in an international context, a "mindshift" has to take place, which we work out together and which you can develop further in your professional practice.
In order to attain the necessary depth within the limited amount of time and to achieve the desired learning goals, I prepare each training thoroughly in accordance with your requirements. I prefer individual training or small groups, as they allow me to quickly recognize which areas are already clear and which ones should be focused on more deeply.

"After two incredibly informative days on Mexican culture, we have already got a very good idea of the Mexican way of working and living. On a personal level, we have not only learned and practiced how best to interact with the relationship-oriented Mexican society, but have grown in dealing with people in general. We thank Wiebke for the shared experiences and the fantastic intercultural training."
"Ms. Homborg has conducted a workshop on 'Third Culture Kids' for our LAP volunteer program at our school. In addition to an informative lecture, she also left room for the exchange of experiences among the participants, which they found to be very enriching. Ms. Homborg was very well prepared, she used a variety of methods and resources, and she subsequently provided us with her presentation slides and a summary of our discussions. [...] She supported our work with enthusiasm and reliability and brought in her own ideas. We have come to appreciate their expertise and personal experience. It brought in new aspects that we had not considered before."
