Welcome to V-Coaching, your home for Systemic Business coaching in Erlangen, Nuremberg & virtual. At V-Coaching I combine individual coaching practices with different aspects of career counseling.

In addition to Business Coaching on topics such as career planning, leadership, role clarity or dealing with conflicts, I offer individual support in professional and private change processes as well as in decision-making situations. I am your sparring partner for challenges in your (professional) life and support you in finding new ways and overcoming individual challenges.

Coaching with
clarity & care!

Topics

Individual coaching for you

• Are you facing leadership responsibility (maybe even for the first time) and are looking for a sparring partner?

• Are you going through a change process and are looking for professional support or mentoring?

• Is there a conflict or a thread in your daily work life that you would like to finally address and resolve?

• Are you facing a decision-making situation and don’t know which path to take?

• Are you unhappy in your job, you feel trapped, but don’t know what you want or how you can create a positive shift?

• Are you facing a radical professional or private change?

• Do you feel anxiety and want to get back into balance?

If you are unsure if Coaching is right for you and your individual situation, feel free to reach out for an informal chat and we can talk it through.

„When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.“

Viktor Frankl

Systemic Business Coach, HR Business Partner & empathetic, cheerful soul with a passion for life and people!

I have been involved in volunteer work since I was young. I have always been drawn to connecting with others, and this desire has been a driving force in my personal and professional life. I have more than 10 years of experience in human resources, business, and organizational development, both in medium-sized companies and international corporations (such as Schaeffler, Siemens, and adidas). This experience makes me a capable coach and sparring partner for a wide range of topics. (For more information on my education and career, please see the FAQ’ s).

Our coaching sessions will take place in an individual set-up where I support you with empathy, appreciation, clarity, and, using my own leadership experiences and structure, I will seek to re-connect you with your own needs and to enable you to explore new horizons. My working methods support you in facing your issues in a solution- & future-oriented way, helping you to discover your best self, whilst strengthening your individual problem-solving ability.

Profound methods, professional tools, clear target agreements, confidentiality and appreciation form the basis of our collaboration during our sessions.

In addition to my profession as HR Business Partner and Coach, I am also co-founder and organizational lead of the “Erlanger Kneipenchor” (= a pub choir), which is why lightness, creativity and „good vibes“ flow into my professional work.

Hey, I’m Vivian

VALUES

The things that we love tell us what we are.
My value promise to you

Helpfulness & responsibility

Helpfulness & responsibility for others are my key drivers in working with people. These values enable me to listen openly and to appreciatively collaborate with others.

Structure, efficiency & clarity

Structure, efficiency & clarity determine my way of working and ensure a professional coaching process.

Empathy & warmth

Empathy & warmth express how I am, govern my life – and thus also my collaboration with you.

Intuition & courage

Intuition & courage have brought me to where I am today in life. In our coaching sessions I will support you in listening to your own intuition and find the courage to change directions.

Self-responsibility

Self-responsibility is required in my own role as a coach, but also from you, so that you can find your strengths through the coaching process and solutions can be successful.

PORTFOLIO

Business Coaching

During the Business Coaching sessions, we are tackling all topics including leadership, change, conflicts, decision-making situations, or challenges you are faced with in your everyday work. There is room for professional and personal concerns, thinking and feeling, complexity and simplicity, detail orientation and a holistic view.

Career Counseling

In the context of Career Counseling, we will look into everything that is needed for your professional change or shift. We will find a mix between career counseling, CV checks, and leveraging various career coaching methods. You will also benefit from my professional experience in recruitment and HR management.

Individual Coaching

During Individual Coaching sessions, I offer you a private retreat that allows for reflection and introspection. We will make space for you to work on individual topics, to address the unspoken and to discover courses of action. You can count on me as an encourager and coach in difficult life situations.

Presentation & Facilitation

Through seven years of experience on stage with the choir “Erlanger Kneipenchor” and my coaching background I have discovered another passion: Presentation & Facilitation. If you are looking for a confident, enthusiastic, and humorous moderator for events or discussion groups, let’s get in touch.

REVIEWS

„Das Coaching mit Vivian fand in einer sehr angenehmen und professionellen Atmosphäre statt. Es hat mir sehr geholfen meine Situation mit Vivian zusammen zu diskutieren und dann mit den angewandten Methoden eine Lösungsstruktur mit einzelnen Schritten zu erarbeiten. So konnte ich meine Gedanken und Gefühle ordnen. Ich bin bestärkt und motiviert aus dem Coaching gegangen.“ – Ines, Pharmabranche

„Die Gespräche mit Vivian sind vor allem von einer Sache geprägt: einem aufrichtigen Interesse ihrerseits für meine Anliegen. Ich genieße es immer, in dem „safe space“, den sie aufmacht, abzutauchen. Wer nach einer warmherzigen und gleichzeitig absolut professionellen Begleitung sucht, findet sie in Vivian.“ – Jannik, Marketing / Marktforschung

„Ich habe die Zeit mit dir als sehr produktiv und wertvoll erfahren. Auch wenn es mitunter anstrengend – aber genau richtig – ist, auf dein Nachhaken antworten zu können. Alles in allem, beeinflusst mich das Coaching noch immer positiv und dient mir als Erinnerung. Das macht es mir immer wieder leicht daran anzuknüpfen, gerade wenn ich in alte Muster zurückfalle. Danke!“ – Marina, Siemens Mobility GmbH

FAQs

What professional experience do you have?

For more than 10 years, I have been working in medium-sized companies as well as in corporate groups in the field of mechanical engineering, IT, healthcare, mobility, lifestyle & sporting goods industries. I held strategic and operational roles and am used to work with all hierarchical levels – from trainees to senior management.

• Since 2018: Senior Manager HR, adidas AG

• 2015 – 2018: Group Lead HR, implexis GmbH

• Since 2016: Co-founder & organizational lead of the choir „Erlanger Kneipenchor“

Are you providing both in-person and virtual sessions?

I offer sessions in person as well as virtually.

The in-person sessions take place in Erlangen and guarantee you privacy. It is also possible to arrange sessions in your office or at your desired location.

For the virtual sessions you will receive a dial-in link & information on required material. You should always be able to speak freely during virtual sessions – so choose a place where you feel comfortable, and you are undisturbed.

Just get in touch if you have any questions and we’ll find a setup that works for both of us.

How do I get in touch with you?

Please use the contact form on the website or send me an email at info@vivian-coaching.com.

You are also welcome to call me. Just leave your name and contact details on my voicemail, so I can call you back.

What is the cost for Coaching?

I will send you an individual offer after our free introductory talk.

How long does a coaching session last and how many sessions do I need?

Usually, a session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on individual concerns. Experience has also shown that 2 – 8 sessions are useful in most cases.

Individual sessions can also be booked at any time.

Do I have to decide directly whether I want to do business coaching or individual coaching?

No. After our introductory talk we decide together what fits best to your concerns. In addition, we can decide at the start of each session what we will focus on today as experience shows that there are sometimes urgent topics that might need to be addressed first.

How does a coaching & consulting process work?

First, we arrange a free introductory talk where we get to know each other. Here we discuss your topic high-level and select which offer from my portfolio might fit best. The intro call gives us the opportunity to check whether we find each other pleasant and if we want to work together. In addition, we also define a rough framework for our working relationship and plan out the number of sessions. I will then send you a date confirmation as well as an offer via e-mail. In our first session we will work out your target agreement, which will serve us as a „North Star“.

What is systemic coaching actually?

As a systemic coach, I see myself as a process supporter and I work with you on your concerns in a solution-oriented way. The goal of coaching is to enable you to find your own self-determined approaches to solving your problems / your concerns and to discover new options for action. We always look at your concern with a holistic view (= your system).

In coaching I use well-founded methods and tools, for example from systemic coaching, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), hypnosystemic concepts for organizational development according to Gunther Schmidt or solution-oriented short-term therapy according to Steve de Shazer.

The basis of systemic coaching defines that there is no evaluation of right or wrong, but rather adequate or inadequate. Therefore, we work on finding a solution that fits you and „helps you to help yourself“.

Coaching or consulting: What is the difference?

While in consulting, possible solutions are provided, systemic coaching aims to provide process expertise.

In coaching we stay away from content-related consulting, focusing on the believe that the best answer for your concern can be found within yourself.

In the context of professional orientation and job application checks, coaching and consulting go hand in hand. In addition to coaching elements, I also provide content-related advice, e.g., on how to proceed in job application, CV checks or through concrete suggestions and ideas for your concerns.
