WHY SHOULD I DO A COACHING AND WHAT BENEFITS DOES IT BRING ME?
A legitimate question! Here you will find a few suggestions.
How does Christina Wanke Operate? The Following Interview Gives some Insights.
What do clients appreciate about working with you?
I often get feedback that they can talk to me about a variety of subjects and tackle any kind of issue, whether they be business management problems, leadership situations, or even personal questions. Another point is that in a short space of time, many valuable and practical points are brought up and can be directly implemented with my way of operating. In this way, recognisable benefits are seen quickly. I prefer an approach that is built on existing resources and strengths and is less concerned with fathoming the depths of the problem. Even in serious discussions, it’s possible to relax now and then and have a laugh.
Communication runs through your activities like a red thread – what value do you see in this?
In connection with my clients’ transformation procedures, I ask, “Do you believe that people can change?” Up until now, this question has never been answered with an emphatic “Yes”. However, one thing that can be consciously and purposefully changed is one’s behaviour and thoughts. According to the principle of “action and reaction”, there is always an interaction between people. The way you speak, move, look at someone – everything affects, whether consciously or subconsciously, the person in front of you. Therefore, if I alter my behaviour and communication, I influence the “in-between”, which occurs between another and me. I can tackle the way I communicate pragmatically and in concrete terms and work purposefully and simultaneously on different levels. In this, in particular, I see the huge value of personal communication.
What are the essential principles of your work as a consultant and coach?
Before I reflect on content, methods, or solutions, I find it essential to precisely understand my client’s situation. For this, connections within the organisation’s dynamics are just as meaningful as the personal understanding of leadership. In this way, I can see the situation through my client’s eyes and then, combined with my knowledge and experience, develop individually tailored action plans.
What fascinates you about coaching?
The effects that come from in-depth reflection. I call it “thinking aloud.” My clients are often quick thinkers and always under pressure. They want to keep moving on, and therefore constantly face new challenges. This is not only demanding and tiring. At times they find themselves, by necessity, on the edge of chaos. When the demands are complex and time-critical, it is enormously valuable to act with inner clarity. Coaching can bring a lot to this.
What have been the best moments in your career?
For example, at the end of a workshop, after intensive work, challenging discussions, and creative exchanges, memorable achievements have been realised, and at the same time, among the participants, there is a pleasant atmosphere and a sense of satisfaction with the outcomes. What connects people is common themes, joint actions. To achieve this, obstacles must be overcome, and sometimes tension arises. Converting this creative tension into results not only makes the clients happy but me as well.
Your activities demand that you be fully present – how do you recharge your batteries?
The best thing is relaxing in the countryside, preferably with my husband, Holger. We have many common interests, which makes it easier and more fun. Among these is sailing on Lake Zug in summer and skiing in winter, conversations and days out with friends, practicing Qi Gong every morning, traveling with a tent in Oman’s deserts. Many entries in our diary awaken lovely memories and give me new energy for my work.
You completed a two-years “Masters in Executive Coaching” course in England in 2009 – what did this experience mean for you?
In my career, I am always in contact with people who find themselves in change processes as individuals or in their leadership responsibilities. Through learning highs and lows, unfamiliar situations can be mastered. The more of this I understand from my own experience, the better I can help people in similar situations. Therefore I consciously chose a route for my development, which challenged me to move outside my comfort zone and explore new places. It was a challenge on three fronts: language, culture, and subject matter – business psychology instead of business management. This process was very fulfilling, sometimes also markedly tricky. However, right in the middle of this difficult situation, I also learned things that only benefitted not only me: I notice that my clients have also gained.
