Self-Leadership & Career Coach


Helping ambitious women live, lead and succeed authentically

“I had been working in TransferWise for 2.5 years when I realised I wasn’t sure about what the next big goal should be for my career. I then had the amazing opportunity to work with Birgit as my coach.

She helped me understand not only the big milestones I want to achieve in the next 5 years but also appreciate the impact and growth I have had so far throughout my career. I now see myself more confidently as a financial regulatory expert, who can impact and change the world of finance!”

“I came to coaching right at the start of my senior team leading role. I felt that I needed to develop my communication and coaching skills in a leadership role and needed professional support with that.

I came in to the first session in panic, feeling insecure and not ready to "tell others how they should lead their people". But with time, Birgit helped me to grow and realise so many things about myself that were right in front of me. Which is now essential for me in my every day life.”

- Valeria Kast, Head of Merchant Support @ Printify

Hi, I’m Birgit…

I’ve been fascinated with how we (humans) function for over 10 years: why we do what we do, how we develop, what drives us and holds us back.

It started with a personal need: feeling confused about what I wanted to do in my professional life, and a vague feeling of “something’s missing”.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve tried to be a model student and employee, and a “good girl” in all other roles in my life: aiming for a super high standard in everything I do. But with this “high achiever” mindset also came a loud, ruthless inner critic of “never good enough”, which led me to feel exhausted and unfulfilled.

This is what brought me to do deep inner work, and eventually, become a coach to also support others in building more authentic lives. I genuinely believe that we’re not meant to just ‘get through’ our lives, and waking up to ‘I love my life’ is not a privilege but a birthright.

“Throughout the sessions, Birgit not only helped me to regain clarity on where I am heading, but also to rediscover my core and foundation.

We discovered so many misbeliefs and traced them back to their roots. Through her, I got to understand myself better, deeper, and closer. This increased the quality my personal life tremendously and brought focus and energy to my professional life. ”
