Rise.
From the inside out.
For the ones who give a lot, carry a lot, and are ready to come back to themselves.
I’m Nicole. A certified coach based on Köln / Cologne.
With me, work is calm and quiet. Together we go deeper than the surface. We look at what’s already inside you. Your patterns, your strengths, and find a way to move from there.
Whether it’s something you can’t quite name yet, a goal you haven’t dared say out lout, or simply a feeling that something needs to change.
This is the space to explore it.
Not sure if coaching is for you?
What can Coaching do for me?
Let’s try to keep this simple.
Per the ICF (International Coaching Federation), coaching helps you (1) find clarity you didn’t know you were looking for, (2) helps you find confidence you thought was missing, (3) and helps you see possibilities you didn’t know you had. I really like this explanation.
If you are still with me and think,
“Hmm… I’m still not sure what that means…”
let’s find out together.
If you are here in this space, it is likely because you recognise something; or you feel that something doesn’t quite add up, a nudge, or something feels of.
It may not be a big decision you are circling around.
Or maybe it is, and you simply need space to structure it and talk it through.
Or maybe it’s something else.
Growth doesn’t usually start with a big decision.
It often starts when something feels off; but you can’t quite explain why. You may cannot find the right word to put it yet.
You keep thinking about it.
You go back and forth.
And at some point, you realise: ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. It keeps coming back.
How about a space to understand what is already there,
and what you want to do with it. And go from there.
That’s where coaching begins.
If you like to find out more, have more questions, I offer free discovery calls online.
Why Coaching?
Coaching is not about having all the answers.
It’s about taking the time to understand what is already there —
and making sense of it in a way that helps you move forward.
What this can look like:
You’re in between decisions and can’t set clear priorities
You feel busy, but not focused on what really matters
You want to understand yourself — or others — better
You want to feel more confident in work or in your personal life
You notice something, but can’t quite put it into words yet
Coaching is a private and confidential space.
Everything we do is tailored to your situation —
not a fixed method, but a way of working that fits you.
If something is on your mind, that’s enough.
Hi, I’m Nicole — a certified coach trained through InnerLifeSkills (ICF-accredited).
Before coaching, I worked in international IT project and application management, collaborating with global teams across the full project cycle; from early concept to post go-live. I worked with developers, stakeholders, and management, across different cultures and roles.
What stayed with me most from that time are the people.
Every individual is different. We all think, work, and experience life in our own way.
For a long time, I had a quiet feeling that something needed to change.
It would show up in small moments; and then disappear again.
This stayed with me for years.
When I found my way to coaching, something clicked.
It gave me a way to understand what was underneath;
not by forcing change, but by making sense of what was already there.
This is what I believe coaching can offer:
Not pressure.
Not quick answers.
But space to understand yourself more clearly;
and from there, see what is possible.
Coaching with me is steady, practical, and honest.
There is no pressure to perform; just space to think, feel, and move forward in a way that fits you.
I work in a calm and (not always) structured way, using reflection and, where helpful, coaching processes and the Enneagram to support your session.
Both grounded in clarity, reflection, and practical growth - guided through customised processes tailored to you.
Ways to work with me
Clarity for Change
Space to think, clarity to move
Whether something no longer fits - or something new is calling. This is a space to think it through, get honest with yourself, and take a first clear step. Whether that’s a career shift, a life change, or a dream you haven’t dared to name yet.
We sort through what’s stirring, find clarity on where you are, and take a first clear step forward. Together.
Coaching Journey
A steady space for reflection, clarity, and growth - at your page.
Some things take time. This is coaching for people ready to work through what really matters - weather that’s a career path, a life decision, a pattern you want to change, or simply becoming more of who you want to be.
At your pace. In a way that fits your life.
The Enneagram Journey
Ever wonder why you keep reacting the same way, or why certain situations feel so hard? This three-session Enneagram coaching package helps you understand the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and act — and what becomes possible when you do.
What matters to me
From the start, a portion of every paid session goes towards causes that matter to me - supporting children, nature and wildlife. Not someday. Now.
If something is on your mind, connect, and let us talk about it.
We can take a look together.
What clients say

"Why I do what I do: Ganz nach diesem Motto habe ich bei Nicole das Enneagramm Coaching kennengelernt. Davor hatte ich noch nie davon gehört. In den Coaching Sessions hat Nicole mich auf eine einfühlsame und unglaublich präzise Weise an das Enneagramm herangeführt. Besonders wertvoll war für mich, dass Nicole nicht nur das Wissen vermittelt hat, sondern mich dabei begleitet hat, auf mich zu hören und mich selbst ehrlicher zu sehen. Ihre Art, die Zusammenhänge zu erklären, und das ohne Bewertung, hat mir während der Coaching Sessions Aha-Momente ermöglicht, die mich bestärken, Entscheidungen zu treffen und andere Wege zu gehen. Ich bin sehr dankbar für die Arbeit mit Nicole und kann das Coaching mit ihr sehr empfehlen. Für mich war das Coaching mit ihr nicht nur spannend, sondern auch nachhaltig verändernd.”*

"I have gained clarity about the direction I want to take in my career. I also received a clear plan for the first steps in this direction. The great thing is that I often suffer from low motivation. That's why we worked out ways to take the first steps that feel much easier and more natural to me than the "classic" ways I had in mind. This takes away the pressure I had previously put on myself. In this respect, I am very grateful and satisfied with the coaching."
— Max S.

“The Enneagram coaching gave me so much clarity. I kept thinking I knew myself quite well — but through our sessions I began to understand what I actually need in a partnership. That brought a level of clarity I didn’t expect. It was eye-opening and incredibly helpful.”
- Barbara B.

“At that time, I needed more clarity on where I’m moving in my professional and personal life to make a better path for my growth. Through the coaching, I began to understand myself better and what truly matters in how I work. I found that one of my core needs is being valuable for the people I serve, while also being independent and professional in what I’m doing. That’s exactly why I stopped guessing what people need and started asking clear questions about what value my work brings to them. It helped me improve my work and adapt my offer to the professional world.”
