What can I expect?
Our individual coaching offers counseling and advice for a restricted period of time regarding professional problems and conflicts. A coach assists you in addressing conflicts, problem solving, or improving your learning skills and job performance.
We work with a pool of highly-qualified coaches from both the academic and business sectors. From this pool, we will recommend a coach, with whom you make your own appointment. We will fund a maximum of 4 hours, billed directly to us by the coach.
Costs: None
Condition: Completion of an online questionnaire at four points in time
Contact: Anja Quindeau, Systemic Coach and Team Coach (SHB)
The funding comes from state resources allocated by the Free State of Bavaria for the Bavarian Gender Equality Grant (BGF) - program for the realization of equal opportunities for women in research and teaching.
The coachings are assisted and evaluated by a research project at the Chair for Strategy and Organization of Prof. Isabell M. Welpe.
