IT´S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE & PERFORMANCE

FÜHRUNGSKRÄFTE-ENTWICKLUNG
Performance Requires Empathy.
Corporate future viability is increasingly measured on the basis of leaders’ capacity for empathy and self-reflection. People and their underlying needs are at the centre of a healthy corporate culture. Assets such as the ability to motivate, to communicate effectively and to be a role model are crucial today for enabling learning and shaping a successful future. The role of leadership comprises professional expertise and sustainable relationship building. Creating a foundation of trust makes all the difference. “Love your teams!” is the motto, once it becomes a matter of heart.
At connect & develop, we believe LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT implies creating spaces for self-reflection and co-creative growth that allow executives to explore values, leadership mindsets and means of implementation in a challenging learning environment. We are dedicated to touching people at their core, either one-to- one or in a group, and to support them in their growth.
Filling self-reflection with purpose is what we are all about.
PERSÖNLICHES COACHING
Just. For. You!
People are intrinsically motivated to engage when trust is present. Individuals become role models when they are able to self-reflect and continually develop their learning. This way, they set the stage for teams and employees to embrace change, accept personal accountability and thrive.
What differentiates us from other coaches? Our team of psychologists, communication experts, agile coaches, personal development experts, systemic coaches, therapists, and recruitment consultants have years of leadership experience. We offer a broad range of interventions, which are customised to meet client needs. Our attitude is characterised by a deep sense of joie de vivre as we love to support people in developing the best version of themselves.
By the way: Aside from executives in leadership positions, people who are not directly involved in leadership responsibilities also benefit from connect & develop’s self-leadership and development coaching. We call that personal development.
To make it easier for young people to access coaching, we have developed a special offer with in-waerts. If you want to learn more about it, find out here.
Trust yourself and others will trust you too!

TEAM-ENTWICKLUNG
Teaming by heart and not by book!
A thriving team is a company’s greatest asset. For many, it is precisely where they find their emotional home – possibly even their most important one. A sense of belonging to “my” team, paired with self-efficacy and acknowledgement are sources of wellbeing, the prerequisite for sustainable productivity and long-term success.
As systemic coaches for TEAM DEVELOPMENT we consider each individual within their context of various systems. We are attuned to the signs that distinguish well developed teams, such as having a common purpose, trust, and appreciation for each other. We foster new thinking, the courage to make mistakes, and an honest assessment of one’s own limitations and shortcomings. Connect & develop workshops revolve around roles and related tasks, stages of development, dealing with competencies, needs and values, communication, conflict, processes, and synergies including team collaboration. Briefly stated, team development is about understanding oneself and others, as well as interacting successfully as a team.
Briefly? Sure: Moving from I to We!
RESILIENZ
The best of both worlds!
Eine robuste Widerstandsfähigkeit bei allen denkbaren Turbulenzen, Herausforderungen und Spannungen – wer wünscht sich das nicht? Wenn Führungskräfte nachhaltig und produktiv mit ihren MitarbeiterInnen umgehen wollen, setzt das Souveränität, Gelassenheit und vor allem die Kenntnis der eigenen Kräfte und Grenzen voraus. Eine trainierte Resilienz ist der Garant für diese Kompetenz. Die gute Nachricht: Resilienz ist trainierbar wie ein Muskel.
In unseren Coachings zur RESILIENZFÖRDERUNG haben wir dabei alle Faktoren im Blick: die körperlichen, die mentalen und die psychischen. Eine gelungene Balance hierbei resultiert in einem Wissen für WORK WELL, legt die Basis für die unverzichtbare eigene Stabilität und für die Fähigkeit „gesund zu führen“. Im Fokus unserer Trainings stehen sowohl die individuelle als auch die organisationale Resilienz.
Souverän. Gelassen. Leistungsstark. Unsere ausgebildeten Resilienztrainer rüsten dich aus. Ob für das nächste Erdbeben – oder den Gipfelsturm!

WO/MEN @ WORK
The best of both worlds!
There are many examples of companies that perform better in every respect in which women hold leadership positions, and that better decisions are made by teams where inclusivity is the norm. In fact, there are too few women in leadership positions. All too often due to a lack of a modern work environment and a family-friendly work-life culture, as well as a corporate culture that “rewards” both female and male behaviours.
Our mission, DEVELOPING FEMALE LEADERSHIP, supports our clients on their discovery journey toward their authentic leadership style based on a foundation of self-confidence and joy. Topics we cover include developing a strengths-based leadership vision, discovering self-directed purpose, changing limiting belief patterns and behavioural roadblocks, managing energy effectively, finding one’s unique style and voice, as well as cultivating and using networks – all to become the role model you want to be!
Change always starts from within! Get going now!
We at connect & develop have now also developed a format for equal opportunities in leadership. Because we see the greatest leverage in the interaction between women and men.

How to Dance the Virtual Tango!
Working virtually has become an integral part of New Work. The advantages of remote digital team leadership are compelling and current. Virtual leadership requires far more than digital savviness on a pixel platform. How, for instance, do feelings of belonging by individual team-members endure over time and distance?
Connect & develop WORKSHOPS for REMOTE LEADERSHIP prepare executives for the Future of Work. Confident leaders go well beyond mastering the basics of relationship building in virtual spaces. Information management, performance checks, delegating, motivating, remote interpersonal and conflict management are only a few of the challenges brought about by the digital age.
Above all, virtual leadership involves relationship building. It’s an ambitious dance on a playing field with its own rules. Let’s dance!


VISION & WERTE
The Joyful Path toward Self-awareness!
The triad of corporate vision, mission and values lays the groundwork for a successful guiding principle and strategy development. What counts in the end are clear messages that provide sustainable orientation for all stakeholders from employee to customer base. A sense of wellbeing and identification as a framework for guiding one’s own mindset are paramount to the success of the company.
It is always about identity based on self-awareness. connect & develop accompanies this sense-giving process. We create the space for these aspects to emerge through a combination of one-on-one interviews and workshops. Our diverse experience offers our clients guidance and support in surfacing their strength-giving inner core. We know how to differentiate between vision and wishful thinking. We are adept in the art of attracting vision – for vision cannot be forced. Anchoring VISION, MISSION and VALUES in corporate strategy is our challenge vs. mere lip service. Fostering self-awareness and feeling the joy that comes with it is our mission when working with our clients. And don’t be mistaken – vision and strategy are not limited to the corporate world. In our individual coaching sessions we support our clients in discovering their personal insights in this context.
There is nothing like watching a vision emerge and flourish.

Diversity triumphs!
“DIVERSITY is an action, inclusivity is cultural, and belonging is a feeling”. Corporations that live diversity and inclusion, and see it as an opportunity, realise their full potential, and leave others behind. Often, companies try to achieve diversity by focusing on specific target groups. Success looks different.
Change begins with the mindset of corporate leadership: awareness of existing problems, a belief in and understanding of potential translated into new forms of behaviour. These are steps in leadership development, which lead to changes in the corporate culture that contribute to values such as diversity and inclusion. We believe in the impact of role models and multipliers who live these values and contribute to diversity and inclusion by motivating, incentivising and encouraging their people.
The goal is clear: Develop an environment in which diversity thrives!!
VERÄNDERUNGSFÄHIGKEIT
Stay agile!
Change is no exception – it is with us daily. Fundamental readiness for change is the mark of an agile mindset and the prerequisite for agile transformation. Open-mindedness and flexible thinking ensure entrepreneurial survival. For these competencies to be effectively integrated at all levels, it takes a combination of practical support and driving a sustainable and agile transformation process. Only when employees are successfully onboarded can the transformation process be organically and intrinsically integrated into the organisation.
Our AGILE CULTURE approach aims for an equally high level of alignment and autonomy – in other words, a common direction together with autonomous resolve. We partner with our clients in the areas of team development, calibration, conflict management and leadership to foster not only conceptually agile thinking, but above all, organisational vitality. We initiate agile processes that are spot-on in that they address current and future market demand – namely, the continually learning organisation.
Change is agile cultural transformation!
