Hello, I am Jana Marjam Edelmann, PhD

I offer my clients all my passion, dedication and enthusiasm in fostering personal growth and positive organizational change.

My background ensures a pragmatic and precise understanding not only of personal development, mindfulness & embodiment tools but also of leadership requirements, transformation processes, organizational dynamics and strategic communication:

1.) Seasoned experience in the latest ICF-accredited Somatic & Systemic Coaching modalities is complemented with my strong foothold in ancient Eastern Wisdom Traditions, being a certified meditation and yoga teacher.

2.) A PhD about change leadership and almost a decade of working with listed companies, SMEs, start-ups and international institutions as communications consultant specialized in change & sustainability mandates complete the picture.

I support the leaders of today & tomorrow in cultivating and enhancing their embodied, empathetic & mindful (self-) leadership & collaboration skills

Approach
