New Impulses for your career

You can thematize your own personal concerns in an individual coaching session. For example, the possibility of taking on a new leadership role or the need to make an important personal decision could serve as a good justification for arranging a personal session. We have a selection of experts available for you in our coaching pool. Feel free to contact us, if you are interested in an individual coaching session.

For most Bachelor and Masters students, first-time participation in a career coaching session in a group or for a personal 90-minute session is free (please note that coaching is not included in most of our English Masters programmes, please contact your programme coordinator for further information). Alumni of the Professional School and external participants can also use our coaching services for a fee. Simply contact us.

The registration for the coaching for our students takes place over the learning platform in the course "Coaching - Professional School".

Thanks to individual coaching, you benefit from a familiar and very individual counseling by your coach. For individual coaching you can select very different subject from your own personal context. Themes for single consultations can be for example time management, conflicts, deciding situation or career issues.

In one 90 minute session plus a preliminary discussion, you can plan first impulses to clarify your problems together with the coach and plan the following steps.

In tandem or group coaching, you can discuss various points of importance and contents with your coach. Looking at issues from various perspectives helps finding new solutions and positively influences one’s own performance capacities and motivation.

You can combine a tandem or group coaching for example to deal with a subject matter of your choice, and combine the 90-minutes’ coaching time available to every Bachelor or Masters student of the Professional School with your fellow students.

Having studied and obtained her doctorate in environmental engineering on the topics of sustainability, resource management and educational skills, Christina Kühnel gained many years of experience in the scientific community and in (international) project work. At the same time, she became a mother of three and experienced what it means to "want to get everything under one hat". Later, she worked for several years in strategic university management as head of a university-wide change project and took on leadership and budgetary responsibility. She continued her education on leadership issues in the areas of self-management, change and complexity management and completed a part-time training as a systemic coach and process facilitator. She then coordinated the part-time master's programme in sustainability law at Leuphana University and accompanied people on their way to successful graduation. Today she works as a freelance coach and lecturer on topics such as self- and time management and intercultural support for international students. Empowering people to become more resilient in their own responsibility and to develop their own solutions for a life in balance between meaningful work and fulfilling leisure time is an important driver of her work.
