Career coaching 

Scientific fields of work, whether at universities, research institutes or science-related organisations, often present employees with very specific challenges.

Highly competitive environments and publication pressure, the combination of project work and research with leadership and management tasks, complex administrative structures with many different stakeholders, often uncertain employment conditions and career prospects. The list of demanding aspects of a professional career in academia is long.

Whether you are a manager, a phd-candidate or a postdoc, Visible Change will support you with heart and mind in maintaining stability, following your own path and developing yourself in a coherent way in the face of all the big questions of your profession.

  • Aligning personal skills and needs with the requirements and opportunities of your own field of work
  • Accepting challenges and using them to build yourself up
  • Leading and regulating yourself in a smart and healthy way
  • Finding a relaxed and stimulating way of dealing with pressure and stress
  • Sharpening your own profile and developing an authentic leadership style
  • Finding clarity and perspectives for the future – strategic career planning

Your own development as a research project 

At Visible Change, there is great enthusiasm and expertise in helping people ‘find themselves’ and from there shape their own individual paths. While your own natural development cannot be manufactured, good conditions for it can be created.

That is why clients from the scientific field are encouraged to declare their coaching and the associated personal development process an important and interesting research project:

  • Activate your own spirit of research
  • Want to really get to the bottom of things (and thus yourself)
  • Demonstrate honesty and openness to results
  • Give space to the intrinsic need for development, finding meaning and realisation

 

Thanks to the personalised coaching with Dr Gerdes, our experts and managers were able to achieve visible and sustainable progress in their chosen fields of development. Dr Gerdes is very receptive to the individual person and his/her specific issues; he understands how to awaken hidden potential, initiate development processes and strengthen the person as a whole.
