Coaching Testimonials
Thinking about having coaching with me? Here is what some of my clients had to say about their experience.
1. What was life like before you started to have coaching with me?
I was feeling like something was not right. I was exhausted but I kept going until I could not take it anymore. I did not enjoy my life and my work anymore. I was angry and tired all the time and everything started to become like a toll on my family.
​
2. What is life now?
I quit my job, closed my company and I am taking time off. Ute helped me clarify what I want to do next.
​
3. What was the best and the most surprising part about coaching?
I was stuck, unsure of my path, until Ute guided me through a simple visualization. 'Close your eyes,' she said, 'and imagine your ideal job.' What followed was nothing short of a revelation. The exercise wasn't just about picturing a career; it was about connecting with my deepest desires. It was like finally turning on the lights in a dark room. I saw what truly resonated with me: creating beautifully curated events. The 'shoulds' and 'coulds' faded away, replaced by a clear, undeniable sense of purpose. It was beautiful because it wasn't just about finding a job; it was about finding my authentic self.
​​
4. What doubts/assumptions did you have about coaching before you started and how did that change? ​
I did not really know what to expect, to be honest. I read lots of self-help books but coaching is like having a self-help book tailor-made to your needs.
​
5. If you were to recommend coaching with me to your best friend, what would you say?
I would say that if you are bit lost, don't know what to do with your life, you are looking to change career, or you just unhappy with your job situation, Ute is the right person to talk to. She is kind, listens to you, doesn't force you and helps you in a nurturing way. She as a mother also understands the challenges of motherhood.

"I have been very fortunate to work with Ute as a coach. Her approach was very calming and I felt safe and confident to express myself. I was able to share some thoughts that had been bothering me and I can now see a way forward and I feel optimistic about the future.
I was not sure what to expect from coaching but I have been amazed at how much I was able to unlock in a short space of time. Ute is skilled at helping to identify things that I want to change and how I might go about this - Thanks Ute!"

I’ve always loved working on myself and see coaching as valuable in all areas of life. For me, the main draw was the exchange and the supportive space it provides.
​
When I started, I was already on a journey of self-discovery, which is why your program title - My Rediscovery Journey -resonated with me so much. Coaching with you became a wonderful additional support in that process. I especially enjoyed the tools, like the River of Life, which gave me new perspectives.
​
What stood out the most was your clear reflection. You created a safe space for me to speak out loud what had been hidden inside, and hearing it reflected back was incredibly helpful. With your targeted questions, I often had to dig deeper to find my own answers. That was powerful and led to many small “aha” moments.
​
Before, I assumed coaching would be more about advice and tips. I learned instead that it’s about gaining clarity for myself, guided by your questions and reflections. That was surprising and very impactful.
​
If I were to recommend you to a friend, I’d say: you’re excellent at mirroring back what’s really going on and uncovering what lies beneath. Your questions and tools are very supportive for personal growth.
After this experience, I’ll keep trying to ask myself the right questions - the way you taught me to.

I found coaching accidentally in my professional environment. I could not be more thankful for this unexpected encounter. Coaching gave me the possibility to think constructively around many topics that were not giving me peace. And I mean very different ones: from personal to professional, including moral dilemmas.
I must admit I was somewhat hesitant and sceptical towards coaching. I was not sure it could always work. Of course, you have to be coached by a professional, and not some "story-teller". Coaching is not mentoring; coaching is not therapy. Don't come to coaching for advice from others. Your coach is a lifeline to hold into whilst you find the answers. Your own solutions will arise in the session if you are in hands of the appropriate coach for you and your current situation.
In my experience, Ute is a great coach. I have been very lucky to find her. She is always warm, empathetic and I have come out with my goals met at the end of our sessions. I could not ask for more... but to be in touch with her! Thank you, Ute for listening and always showing your presence.
