My Transatlantic Story

I've spent most of my life moving between two continents: Europe and North America.

 

I've lived and worked in several European countries and a number of U.S. states. I've been a student, a university lecturer, a business owner, a parent, a homeowner, and more on both continents. And in between, I've packed up my home several times and shipped it across the Atlantic. 

Over the years, I have gained deep insights into personal and professional life on both continents - and what it takes to be successful here and there (right now, here is the U.S.). The challenges faced by international leaders and entrepreneurs as they navigate U.S. business environments have become my personal passion and my professional focus.​​ They are the reason why I founded TransAtlantic Coaching & Training.

 

Today, I combine my academic background, my passion for teaching and coaching, and my business experience to develop highly customized programs for clients.

​

  • Academic background: I have a Master's Degree in German, English, and Spanish translation and a Doctoral Degree focused on the role of language and culture in international business. In addition, I've certifications in business English training and intercultural training. I'm also an ACI Certified Confidence Coach.

​​

  • Passion for teaching: I have lectured at Austrian and American universities and coached corporate clients from various fields. My teaching assignments include the University of Vienna, Rollins College, and Stanford Continuing Studies. My individual clients are from a wide range of industries, including automotive, tech, and defense.

​​

  • U.S. business experience: I have been involved in our family company for the past 10+ years, leading communication projects and pitching at trade shows - and I run my own coaching business.

​​

My goal is to help my clients - entrepreneurs, executives, and emerging leaders from different parts of the world - strengthen the skills and strategies they need to communicate more confidently and effectively, forge great relationships, and build profitable ventures and successful careers in the U.S.

​

I would love to help you, too!
