What you'll learn

Gain clarity on what your current identity is

Map your core leadership needs with Murray's need+ press = thema model to name the 2 or 3 that shape your identity now.

Analyze where your identity does not fit and why

Read the pressures of your current situation and spot where your usual way of leading stops fitting.

Know how to adjust to the demands of your context

Build a 3 step reset routine to adjust your identity to changing circumstances without losing sight of your core values.

Why this topic matters

Most leaders build one leadership identity early on and then defend it, even when the situation has changed. A new team, a crisis, a promotion or a reorg each put different pressures on you, and the style that worked last year can quietly start working against you. Henry Murray showed that behavior is never just who you are: it is your core needs meeting the pressures around you. See this, and you can adjust on purpose instead of getting stuck.

Former HR lead at tech start ups, training + coaching senior leaders in the GCC

Originally from Germany, I have spent the last 5 years in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Since I am in Dubai, I am working as an independent coach and trainer for Executives in the private and public sectors, helping my clients to move up in their careers.

They come to me when they are stuck, when they feel unheard, unseen, or even overlooked.

Together we work on their confidence, on their executive presence, and on their ability to influence and inspire others.

My career started as HR Manager in various tech start-ups; here I built the HR function from scratch.

My last position was HR Director in an international company in the Health sector.

I am holding two Master degrees; one in HR Management, one in Business Coaching and Change Management. Since last year, I am also holding an EMBA.
