Dr. Caroline Kranabetter

Since studying psychology, Caroline has been interested in the question of how good work can succeed. In her doctorate, she examined the role of managers as shapers of motivation, health and performance in organizations. In order to dovetail science and practice, she worked with various companies and translated research findings into concrete development measures for people and organizations.

She lived out her passion for the design of tailor-made, effective learning and development journeys for several years in a management consultancy, where she designed and implemented management programs, assessment & development centers and team development measures for multinational companies. Fascinated by the moments in which people find access to their resources, aha-moments and new solutions emerge, Caroline underwent further (systemic) training for individual and team coaching, including at isb Wiesloch.

In her self-employment, Caroline focuses on leadership development in the changing world of work as well as coaching to help people shape their work - and their lives - in line with their goals and needs.

Her work draws on her background in psychology and science, a full hypno-systemic methodological toolbox as well as contextual knowledge and experience from working with different people in small and large, local and multinational companies.

Clients appreciate her structured, analytical work, which, paired with creativity, lightness and humor, stimulates changes in perspective: seeing more clearly, seeing more, seeing differently.
