ABOUT ME
Hello! I’m Friederike, or Rike for short!
I love movement and fresh air and discovering new ways and fresh ideas. This also shapes my coaching and training.
It fulfills me to support others in exploring new terrain, changing perspectives and following their inner compass. Step by step, even if it gets bumpy, confusing or tedious.
Are you ready to set out on your journey? Then don’t hesitate any longer:
I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you!
MY WAY
Since fall 2022
I am completing my training as a psychological psychotherapist (behavioral therapy) and have started my own business as a coach with a focus on resilience, self-leadership and transformation.
Until fall 2022
I was employed for a good 15 years in various roles in the human resources department of a major international corporation, predominantly as an expert in people -, leadership – and organizational development. In this role, I accompanied diverse transformation processes: individual careers, the introduction of new IT tools or organizational structures, all the way to global change projects in the area of corporate culture.
2020:
was a challenging year for me and my family – as it was for so many. At the same time, it was very conducive to growth, as I was able to learn about the approaches of “POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE®️” and “Theory U“. They supported me enormously in dealing with the Corona pandemic and have also shaped my work since then.
2016 to 2018:
my two children were born. What happiness, what a change! Since then it is even clearer for me: taking responsibility for others and taking good care of yourself belong inseparably together!
2015:
I completed my one-year, DBVC-certified training as a systemic coach to be able to support people even more effectively in their change concerns, both inside and outside my HR role.
2009-2010:
I worked in Beijing for about 1 ½ years and gained some valuable (also crisis-driven) professional and personal experiences during that time. Some of the lessons learned: many cross-cultural “aha” experiences, agile project management, and the fact that the Chinese character for “crisis” is aptly made up of two parts, representing “risk” and “opportunity”.
2007:
I moved from NRW to Munich: for my career start in the HR department of a large international corporation and to finally be closer to my beloved mountains.
2000 to 2006:
I studied psychology at the University of Cologne and in Salamanca, Spain. My basic training in client-centered psychotherapy according to C. Rogers has significantly shaped my approach as a coach and therapist.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING …
… I prefer to spend my time in nature, especially (long-distance) hiking in the mountains.
… I like to be out and about with my family or friends. I love flea markets, concerts and other open-air events.
… I like to cook and eat: vegetarian and preferably experimental and improvised
… I swear by my regular and long-standing yoga and meditation practice to come to peace and remain grateful and confident.
… I love to learn something new. Reading, in exchange with others or just like that in everyday life.
