PAUSE. EXPLORE. EVOLVE
Escale [ɛskal]
Change begins with a moment to pause – to regain clarity and focus.
When we take a step back, we start to see patterns, uncover what truly matters, and expand our perspectives and options for action.
Coaching creates that space – to reflect, realign, and develop solutions that move you, your team, and your organization forward with purpose and impact.

The Nice Intensive
PAUSE . EXPLORE . EVOLVE
- 1:1 Coaching
Sometimes, change needs space – in time, in place, and within yourself.
In an exclusive format in Nice, we dedicate several days to focused work on your key topics.
Stepping away from daily routines opens space for genuine clarity, reorientation, sustainable decisions, and tangible next steps.
If desired, a tailored framework program can further support balance between body and mind.
And because real transformation takes time, our collaboration continues beyond the days on site – ensuring that what you’ve developed becomes a lasting part of your everyday life and business.
- Workshops & Team Development
Just 45 minutes from Nice, La Bergerie – a former 17th-century sheep farm – offers an inspiring setting for leaders and teams to step back and gain new perspective.
With its old stone walls, massive wooden beams, and views stretching from the mountains to the sea, it brings together authenticity, calm, and clarity — the perfect environment for reflection, development, and strategic thinking.
ToGatherMOMENTUM:
These multi-day workshops are co-facilitated with an experienced consulting partner, drawing on the principles of systemic-syntactic organizational consulting (SySt®) and solid business experience from senior roles in international companies.
The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.
My Approach
I work with a solution-focused, systemic approach, giving your topic a safe space and meeting you in an open and unprejudiced manner, at eye level. Working together, you will regain access to your resources and potential. I invite you to discover new perspectives as well as alternative courses of action and I am accompanying the change process.
In me you will also find a sparring partner on your way to suitable and sustainable solutions in regard to work related questions or your personal development. I am listening actively without losing sight of your goal.
After completing my international studies in business administration, I gained valuable experience in various companies and leadership roles. I am familiar with the dynamics of family-owned businesses as well as the structures of international organizations.
Entrepreneurship, people, and organizational development shape the way I think and work – as does my fine sensitivity for people, relationships, and the dynamics of everyday business life.
Having spent much of my life abroad, I know what it means to live as an expat and feel at home in intercultural environments. Since 2020, I’ve been living with my family in the beautiful city of Nice.
I completed my systemic training at the renowned SySt Institute in Munich. Working with people – on their topics, goals, and relationships – has always inspired me.
I am grateful to accompany individuals and teams as a systemic consultant – supporting them on their way toward their better: a balanced alignment of culture, process, and strategy.
“Escale” in French means “stopover.”
I invite you to take this pause – a moment to reflect – so that you can continue your journey with renewed clarity, lightness, and focus.

FAQs
Systemic coaching expands the process by encouraging individuals and teams to consider the broader systems they are part of (e.g., organization, team, family), while enhancing their self-awareness.
The coach invites the client to shift their perspective and adopt different ways of looking at things. In this approach, the coach supports clients in finding self-responsible solutions to their challenges. Future-oriented, resource-based, and solution-focused, systemic coaching fosters positive, lasting change.
It is highly valued for its contribution to both immediate goals and sustainable personal and organizational development.
Please get in touch with a call or via email/ WhatsApp to arrange an appointment.
We will fix the goal in our first meeting (it can always be adjusted by the client) and start working.
This difficult to say and actually up to the client to decide. There is not a minimum number of sessions.
Depending on the complexity of the challenge we usually need 3-5 appointments. It can be more or less. Anyway, my goal as systemic coach is to enable you to continue working on your topic independently as soon as possible.
Yes, with great pleasure. I preferably use Zoom for the online coaching. Skype is possible, too.
I will send you a link before the first teleconference, which will automatically enable you to participate.
Face to face sessions are held in Nice in my coaching room close to the harbour.
For the ones who prefer not to travel, I offer sessions via videoconferencing or telephone.
My solution-focused approach is shaped by a variety of methods and the following mentors:
- Solution-focused conversation and systemic structural constellations: Insa Sparrer and Matthias Varga von Kibéd
- Systemic organizational consulting: Iris Hunziker
- Crisis intervention and traumatology: Hélène Dellucci
- Conflict resolution, meditative communication, and anti-bullying consulting: Christa Kolodej
- Hypnosystemic approach: Gunther Schmidt
- Yoga and breathwork: Yuko Harmegnies
Systemic Structural Constellations (SySt®), developed by Insa Sparrer and Matthias Varga von Khibed, combine solution-focused therapy with group simulations (e.g. the family constellations by Bert Hellinger). This method visually represents how a client perceives a particular system they are part of, such as family, a couple, work, or a team.
The goal is to make the dynamics and relationships within the system visible, enabling a better understanding and guiding it in a desired direction.
SySt can be done in groups with representatives or one-on-one, either online or in person. As a facilitator, I act as a host, avoiding interpretations and focusing on the client’s needs. Only the client can confirm or challenge what emerges in the constellation.
Common themes include external systems like relationships, conflicts, or communication issues, and internal systems such as decision-making, core beliefs, and values. The approach aims to uncover hidden resources, resolve conflicts, and restore balance within the system.
I guarantee confidentiality, as far as legally permissible. Even in business coaching, I will not pass on any content-related information to the employer, but only talk about the status of the process.
I speak German, English and French and can offer the coaching in all three languages.
Please get in touch to discuss the needs of your company, team or executive(s). Sessions at your location are possible.
