Design Thinking Workshops & Coaching
Experienced in remote and on-site facilitation, I tailor each of my workshops and coaching sessions to my participants and am an expert at pivoting to fit participant’s needs.
Design Thinking
My Design Thinking Workshops range from quick and fun one-hour introductions, to Design Sprints or Hackathons, up to comprehensive programs spanning several weeks. We’ll always focus on applying the design thinking mindset and tools to real problems.
I have taught Design Thinking to innovators and (social) startup founders at ESMT’s Vali Berlin, in projects such as CERUSI and Challenge 2022, at to innovators at Goethe Institute and Diakonie Deutschland.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Start-up programs
I love co-creating and facilitating incubation and acceleration programs for startups. Starting by understanding their users and clients and building a strong founder’s team, to crafting value proposition and (social) business model, using frameworks such as lean startup.
I am experienced in guiding startups through their founding process and contributing to curriculum development.
I have worked with startups such as Robotikos, Swikl and Robbi.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">User Research & Testing
Unsure how to go about your user research or feeling that you don’t get to the core of a problem with your current approach? Wondering which testing method is for you? Let’s find it out together!
I have coached Startups such as money:care to define the right testing methods for their product and needs.
<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">Social Entrepreneurship
Ever wondered what makes Social Entrepreneurship different from classic entrepreneurship? Wondering if Social Entrepreneurs can make profit, too? Or want to learn about impact measurement and social business models?
I have a track record of transmitting Social Entrepreneurship knowledge to Startup Coaches as part of Needs-based Consulting for Social Startups.
Coaching
I enjoy conducting 1:1 coachings as well as facilitating peer-coaching in entrepreneurship programs. Every coaching starts with developing a coaching plan. Goals may be to develop an (impact) business model, understand the users and craft a user research strategy, learn about impact measurement or feedback UX/UI Design.
I have coached startups and associations via Social Impact and ESMT’s Vali Berlin, applying systemic coaching techniques and also providing specific support for female founders.
Pitching
I teach founders to craft their pitch structure targeted to their audience.
Using storytelling techniques such as the hero’s journey, I help founders to create an easy-to-follow, investment-winning pitch.
I have for instance taught pitching to the participants of the Social Startup Pitch of the Fritz Henkel Stiftung.
