Coaching for people at a turning point — professional or personal. Clear, confidential, free of method fetishism. Led by Sophie Brandt, former Marketing Director, Co-Active Coach (ICF), in private practice in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg for eight years.
About
Twelve years in a corporation became a question.
I made the leap myself — from Marketing Director of an international group into my own coaching studio. I bring that experience into every conversation: what really happens when the old answer no longer holds.
I know the question because I had it.
At 38 I stood exactly where many of my clients stand today — professionally successful, personally unclear. Today I accompany women and men through that very transition. Not with a textbook, but with method, patience, and the knowledge that there is a way forward.
Engagements
Five formats. One promise.
Every engagement has a clear frame — and within it enough room for what you actually need. We work that out in the first conversation.
Clarity Coaching 1:1
Twelve sessions over six to nine months. For people who know that something needs to change — but not yet what or how. We find the question behind the question, then walk forward together.
Career Transition
Structured accompaniment over six months when a job no longer fits — but the next step is still unclear. With self-assessment, market scan, and concrete application sprints.
Burnout Recovery
Accompaniment after exhaustion or sick leave. At a pace that fits. With confidentiality, optional medical coordination, and a plan that holds. Typically twelve to eighteen months.
Women in Transition
Group format for eight participants over ten weeks, in Berlin or via video. Themes: second half of life, motherhood & career, separation & new beginnings.
Retreat Weekend
Three days in a country house in Brandenburg. Six participants, guided conversations, silence, movement, shared meals. Twice a year — spring and autumn.

Was hinter meiner Arbeit steht.
How We Work
Four phases. No template.
Every engagement follows a clear arc — but never a recipe. Between first conversation and conclusion usually six to twelve months pass.
First Conversation
We talk for 45 minutes — free of charge, without obligation, without sales. I listen, ask questions, and at the end I tell you honestly whether coaching with me is the right path — or whether I have a different recommendation.
Clarification
Three to five deepening sessions in which we find together what you actually need. What question stands behind your question. What goal is realistic — and which is not.
Accompaniment
Sessions every two to four weeks over six to twelve months. With clear assignments in between, an open email channel, and the understanding that change takes time.
Conclusion
A documented closing session in which we look back together — and forward. Optional: a refresher session six months later, without a new contract.
Sophie asked the question I had not dared to ask myself for two years. After ten sessions the answer was clearer than I had thought possible — and I resigned. That was the right decision, confirmed six months later by the new role I love.
I came after burnout — exhausted, ashamed, without a plan. Sophie set a pace I could bear. Eighteen months later I am back at work, different, but stable. Without her accompaniment I would not be here today.
The retreat in Brandenburg moved something that would not have been possible in the city. Six women, three days, many walks. I drove home with a decision I had wrestled with for months.
